✶Health and Mental Benefits:
1. Mental Stimulation: Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of (or possibly even prevent) Alzheimer’s and Dementia.Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy, either you use it or lose it.

3.Improved Focuss and Concentration: In our Internet-crazed world, attention is drawn in a million different directions at once as we multi-task through every day.However,when you read a book, all of your attention is focused on the story—the rest of the world just falls away, and you can immerse yourself in every fine detail you’re absorbing. Reading for 15-20 minutes will help you stay much more focused during work or study.
4.Memory Improvement: When you read a book, you have to remember many details, 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.
