Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated slows and even prevents Alzheimer’s and dementia. Keeping your brain active prevents it from losing power. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise, so the phrase “use it or lose it” is particularly apt.
STRESS REDUCTION:
All sorts of stress slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A novel can transport you to other realms while an engaging article will distract you and keep you in the present moment, letting tensions drain away.
KNOWLEDGE:
Everything you read fills your head with equipped you are to tackle any challenge. Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought: should you ever find yourself in dire circumstance. Remember that although you might lose everything else-knowledge can never be taken from you.
VOCABULARY EXPANSION:
The more you read, the more words you gain exposure to. Being articulate and well-spoken is of great help in any profession and knowing that you can speak to higher-ups with self-confidence can be an enormous boost to your self-esteem.
MEMORY IMPROVEMENT:
While reading books, you have to remember a certain amount of information about the characters. That can be a handful, but our brain remembers these things with relative ease. Amazingly, every new memory you create forges new synopsis (brain pathways) and strengthens existing ones which assists in short-term memory recall how cool is that?
BETTER WRITING SKILLS:
Hand in hand with vocabulary, exposure to published, well-written work has a noted effect on one’s own writing. So we learn how to craft prose by reading the works of others.There’s a reading genre for every person on the planet, and whether your tastes lie in classical literature, poetry, fashion magazines, young-adult books or street lit, there’s something out there to capture your curiosity and imagination. So, step away from your computer a while, crack open a book and replenish your soul.
