When was the last time you read a book or magazine? Do your daily reading habits are just updates from Facebook, or even just a guide on using instant noodles? If you are one of the many people who do not have a habit of reading every day, that means you have ignored the many benefits of reading. Here are just 6 benefits out of them.
1. Cheer up your spirit
Studies have shown that reading helps to refresh the mind. Spiritual stimulation helps slow down the progression (or even stop) of Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss, keeping your brain active and engaged to prevent energy loss. Like any other organ in the body, the brain requires exercise to stay healthy.
2. Reducing stress
Regardless of how much workload you are in, personal relationships, or countless other issues facing everyday life, all of them will disappear when you focus on an interesting story. A good book can take you to another world, an interesting article will stabilize you in the present moment, causing tension to fade away and allow you to relax and have a good time.
3. Knowledge
Everything you read will fill your mind with fresh, interesting information. You do not know when you will need these pieces of knowledge. The more you know, the better equipped you are to overcome any challenge in life.
Have you ever fallen into a tragic situation? Remember that you can lose everything – work, property, money, even health – but knowledge is never lost.
5. Improve memory
When you read a book, you have to keep in mind the characters, the information about them, the ambition, the history, the tone or the circumstances that shape the way each character lives. Maybe there are a lot, but the brain is a great thing, they can remember all these things easily. Very miraculous, each new memory will cause the brain to create new brain wrinkles and strengthen the old wrinkles, support the memory recall and balance. Interesting, right?
