Dear Friend .
Today i am going to share some important benefits of the reading which i came to know form one of the articles in the google.
Mental Stimulation
Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow
the progress of (or possibly even prevent) Alzheimer’s and Dementia, since
keeping your brain active and engaged prevents it from losing power. Just like
any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and
healthy, so the phrase “use it or lose it” is particularly apt when it comes to
your mind. Doing puzzles and playing games such as chess have also been found
to be helpful with cognitive stimulation.
2. Stress Reduction
No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal
relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips
away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written 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 and allowing you to
relax.
3. Knowledge
Everything you read fills your head with new bits of
information, and you never know when it might come in handy. The more knowledge
you have, the better-equipped you are to tackle any challenge you’ll ever face.
Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought: should you
ever find yourself in dire circumstances, remember that although you might lose
everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your
health—knowledge can never be taken from you.
4. Vocabulary Expansion
This goes with the above topic: the more you read, the more
words you gain exposure to, and they’ll inevitably make their way into your
everyday vocabulary. 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. It could even aid in your career,
as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of
topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with
smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific
breakthroughs, and global events.
Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as
non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will
ameliorate their own speaking and writing fluency.
5. Memory Improvement
When you read a book, you have to remember an assortment of
characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history, and nuances, as well as the
various arcs and sub-plots that weave their way through every story. That’s a
fair bit to remember, but brains are marvellous things and can remember these
things with relative ease. Amazingly enough, every new memory you create forges
new synapses (brain pathways)and strengthens existing ones, which assists in
short-term memory recall as well as stabilizing moods. How cool is that?
