RESUMO
This study aimed to analyze the moderating effect of religion between sociodemographic variables, lifestyle, and self-referred physical and mental health. Cross-sectional study with non-randomized sample of 392 participants. The Eight Natural Remedies Questionnaire was used to assess lifestyle. Religion was found to be positive predictor between age, education and lifestyle, better physical and mental health. Being an Adventist positively influenced the lifestyle (r = 0.680; p < 0.05) and consequently physical (r = 0.222) and mental health (r = 0.220). Belonging to a religion that emphasizes a healthy lifestyle is a contributing factor toward better lifestyle, physical and mental health.

Resumen Las terapias consideradas alternativas son un grupo de intervenciones que incluyen el uso de suplementos herbarios y dietéticos bajo la falsa premisa de ofrecer un gran beneficio sobre la salud del paciente sin tener que someterse al riesgo de presentar efectos adversos, ya que se tratan de productos naturales. En Colombia, los remedios naturistas son una práctica común, pero la frecuencia de uso todavía es desconocida. A nivel mundial existe una gran preocupación al respecto, ya que se ha establecido con claridad la asociación existente con injuria hepática debido a su uso, lo cual ha motivado a introducir un concepto nuevo en medicina denominado injuria hepática inducida por productos herbales (HILI).
Abstract Alternative therapies are considered to be a group of interventions that include the use of herbal and dietary supplements under the false premise that they offer great benefits to patients' health without having adverse effects since they are "natural" products. In Colombia, naturopathic remedies are common, but their frequency of use is still unknown. Throughout the world there is great concern about these alternatives since hepatic injuries derived from their use have been clearly established. This has led to a new concept in medicine called HILI, an English language acronym for herb-induced liver injury.
