Every New Year starts with a resolution & one of the favorite new-year resolutions for many people is “I’ll start reading books” or “to read more”. We all know that reading books is always a great choice. But do you know how reading books improves your life? & why should you prioritize reading more? Here are some of the reasons which will always encourage you to read books.
1. Regular reading improves mental health
Joseph Addison, a famous English essayist, poet, playwright & politician, once penned a quote 300 years back- “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to body.”
He analyzed it when modern science and research equipment were not in use. Today, however, science itself shows many examples of ‘how reading books can make you smarter.’ Reading a book increases the blood flow and improves connectivity to the brain.

Have you ever solved any case in a thriller or mystery movie before watching its end? The same happens when you are reading a book. Once you start reading a mystery book, your analytical skills become active. Reading helps you to detect the problems and solve the whole plot as you are living in the character’s shoes.
