In this modern world where there is so much to do, we will do (and pay) anything to save time. Every second is as important as every piece of grain to the sower, since every second spent wisely will reap a bounty of benefits.
This is the reason why screen ubiquity is imminent. If you can know the story for two hours through watching, why spend more than that by reading the book? Simply because reading has its benefits worthy of a portion of your time.
Enhances memory and makes you smarter
Reading exposes you into the vast world of vocabulary fifty percent faster than watching television, as you are acquainted to fifty percent more words.
In consequence, this will give you a higher comprehension than those who reads infrequently. And apart from better vocabulary and comprehension, those who reads frequently scores higher on intelligence tests.
A study on neurology reported on Huffington Post acts as a brain stimulator, which prevents decline of memory by 32 percent.
Might prevent Alzheimer’s disease
On a similar note, but with high impact, reading and other brain exercises decrease the risk of acquiring Alzheimer’s disease by 2.50 times while watching television purely may do the opposite as reported in USA Today.
Just like the rest of the body, our brain also needs exercise, though mental challenges in order to strengthen them.
Purposeful leisure
Leisure time, usually involve taking a relaxing stroll with your dog or simply sitting on a couch and enjoying the minute of silence.
While these are effective relaxations, reading beats the former by furthering the cause. Not only it helps relax you faster, but also provides many things to learn along the way.
Influences your perspective
What you read does not end together with the last word of the story. Each book you’ve come across and will come across can make an influence on how you see things in the world may it be small or have a big impact.
Even with though the protagonist of the story or the other characters of the story has some bad traits, the gods are still highlighted especially when the obstacles are overcome through the characters strong points. These are the cause of admiration, and in a way can be adapted by the reader.
Develops empathy
As studies suggest, reading, especially literary fiction develops one’s empathy.
Reading gives the readers a glimpse of the complex character a person can have and thus this familiarity helps understand what the others may be thinking or feeling.
