SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - When it comes to faith and well-being, Jews and Mormons rank high according to a new Gallup survey.

The new study says Jews and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe their health and religion go hand in hand.

According to the study from Gallup, both religious groups are among the highest in the belief that their religion leads to better health.

The study also suggests that Mormons have the greatest religious intensity among other faiths.

Faithful Mormons follow a strict "Word of Wisdom" health code that prohibits the use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Strict followers of Judaism follow a similar code when it comes to the consumption and preparation of particular meats.
