The many benefits of reading

"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body" - Lifehack

Reading is a great recreational activity that is inexpensive and has many great benefits. Here are just a few great reasons from an article by Lana Winter that tell you why you start reading now, and take a break from all that tech! 1) Reading helps to reduce stress

Reading a good book can allow you to escape from all the stress by drawing you into another world, allowing your mind to relax. 2) It improves your memory

When you're reading a book, your attention is entirely focused on the story and everything around you just dissapears. This allows you to truly become immersed into every little detail, and as a result can significantly help to improve your level of focus if you read more often.
