1. Benefits of Reading Books
Reading strengthens your brain
In one 2013 study, researchers studied the impact of reading a novel on the
brain using functional MRI scans. For nine days, study participants read the
book "Pompeii." More and more parts of the brain became active as the story's
intensity increased.

Builds your vocabulary

Researchers found that children who spend time reading books regularly,
starting from an early age, continuously improve their vocabulary. Moreover,
the amount of your vocabulary may impact a variety of aspects of your life,
such as job opportunities, college admissions, and examination results.

Reduces stress
Researchers in the United States studied the impact of yoga, comedy, and
reading on the stress levels of students enrolled in difficult health science
programs in 2009. The results of the study showed that reading for thirty
minutes had the same reducing effects on blood pressure, heart rate, and
psychological discomfort as did yoga and comedy.
Prepares you for a good night’s rest
The Mayo Clinic's doctors suggest including reading in your daily sleep routine.
Reading from a print book will get better results than reading on a screen
because the light from your gadget may cause sleeplessness and other
unfavorable health effects.
