Reading the books is more than just an entertainment. Below are six reasons, explaining why you should start reading.
1. Reading can encourage you.
The conducted researches proved that reading is the most effective way to overcome exhaustion. It will help even better than listening to music, enjoyment of cup of tea or coffee and even walking. It took only six minutes to relax for participants of the experiment after they started turning pages (the heart rhythm and muscular tension were estimated). Soaking completely into the fascinating book, you may feel a shelter from the daily problems and vanity and devote some time to studying the worlds imagined by the author.
2. Reading helps to keep sharpness of your mind.
Researches show that the hard work of a brain throughout human life is important for intellectual health in old ages.
3. Reading can prevent an Alzheimer illness
According to some researches, the probability of development of Alzheimer's disease is much less among people devoting some time to reading or guessing of riddles. Brain is a same body organ as others. It grows old if not used. The same way as physical activity strengthens your heart, muscles and bones, the intellectual activity stimulates activity of a brain.
4. Reading helps to fight against insomnia.
Many experts recommend to establish a regular regime of stress removal before going to bed. It will help to calm down your mind and give a signal to the body that it is time to have rest. Reading can be an excellent way to make it (of course if the book isn't too fascinating that can make you read it all night long). Remember that a bright lighting, including light from the screen of electronic devices, signals a brain that is time to wake up. Therefore, reading the book under the subdued lighting of a desk lamp can make you asleep better, than reading from the laptop screen.
5. Reading of good books makes a person be more sensitive.
The belles-letres can considerably increase the level of your empathy. Researchers from the Netherlands conducted two experiments which showed that the feeling of empathy was higher among people who emotionally "soaked" into reading the belles-letres.
6. Books on self-improvement may help to decrease a depression.
Books on self-improvement can teach you how to help yourself. They are effective even in cases of a heavy depression. According to recent researches, people with undeveloped skills of reading are probably less healthy, than those who reads easily. Some of them are not capable to receive necessary medical information just because they are bad readers.
Distinction between people who are not able to read and those who do not want to read is very tiny. Result in both cases is the same — ignorance. The one who decided to start self-improvement needs to develop his reading skills. Reading is essential for those who wish to become higher than ordinary people. Nothing should stand between you and the book that can change your life.
