A long Ruku' and Sujud have effects on the longevity of life......

Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (peace be upon him) once said: "Long Ruku' and Sujud make Iblees angry, [who says] 'Woe to me! With such quality of servitude, the people will no longer obey me.'" (Wasa'il ash-Shi'ah) Imam Ali (peace be upon him) also said, "Nothing can bring about proximity to Allah, Glory be to Him, except an abundance of prostration and bowing." (Ghurar al-Hikam)

Even when we are praising the Ultimate Praiseworthy One, we are being evermore blessed by Him. 

Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq has also said that "A long Ruku' and Sujud have effects on the longevity of life." (Wasa'il ash-Shi'ah) Another benefit that Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (peace be upon him) has mentioned is that "Anyone who perfectly performs his Ruku' will be safe from the horror of the grave." (Ibid.) Again, to perfectly perform the Ruku' refers to both our pure intentions and our proper positions when we bow down to Allah.
