Alzheimer’s Disease
- You are 2.5 times less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than those who spend their free time on less stimulating activities.
- This is backed up by research in Neurology.
Better Sleep
- Reading a book prior to going to bed is far more beneficial than carrying out any sort of work on a tablet, computer or any over type of screen.
- This is because reading works your brain without active physical stimulation, as you can read while lying down.
- It slowly relaxes your body and mind into falling asleep.
- It allows you to leave the present of your reality and engage in something else.
