10 Reading benefits
- Increase your vocabulary and improve your spelling.
- Improves concentration.
- You train the brain: It's as if our brain starts to exercise, but to have long-term results, we need the activity to be constant.
- Healthy sleep patterns: If you start the habit of reading before sleeping, the activity will act as a warning to your brain and body, sending signals that it is time to rest.
- You will always have a topic of conversation.
- cheap entertainment: Especially if we compare the price of a book vs what we spend on a trip to the cinema or theater., and the time we enjoy each of these activities.
- Reduces the risk of suffering from Alzheimer's: Research has shown that activities such as reading, complete crossword puzzles, puzzle or even sudoku, can delay or prevent memory loss. These activities stimulate the brain in such a way that its cells connect and grow..
- Improve memory: Since the action of reading requires us to remember details, facts, situations, conflicts, themes and characters, It's a constant mental exercise..
- Reduces stress: Since it transports us to fantasy worlds and easily distracts us.
- emotional development: Characters can represent various contexts, regions of the world, social status, breeds , ethnicities, religions, etc. a diversity that we might not otherwise come into contact with, so it can be helpful to generate empathy and tolerance, among others.
