 The Benefits Of Reading

Author : PAARTH PRAVEEN NAIK

Hello friends in this blog I am going to tell you about the benefits of reading so without further wait, let`s get on with it. A study done in 2016 by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health found that people who read books for just 30 minutes a day were living an average of two years longer than those who didn’t read at all. Another report found that readers who reported reading more than three hours a week were 23% less likely to die between 2001 and 2012 than those who only read newspapers and magazines.

UNESCO defines someone as literate if they can “understand, read and write a short simple statement on their everyday life.” Lacking literacy skills holds a person back at every stage of their life. As a child, they will be unable to succeed in school. As a young adult, they will be locked out of the job market. When they are parents, they will be unable to support their own children’s learning. Essentially, the importance of reading is immeasurable and applicable in every facet of life. Children should learn to read beginning at a young age because it is essential for brain development. That said, once literacy is achieved, the reading should not stop. Reading is one of those wonderful activities that anyone can take part in, regardless of age, economic status or interests. That’s why, knowing how reading interfaces and affects your day-to-day is so critical. Like any muscle, the brain needs to be exercised to remain healthy and strong. Think of reading as weightlifting for the brain. In fact, frequent brain training decreases mental decline for the elderly by 32%. This can be beneficial in the case of those suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia, whose degradation has been proven to slow after a bout of consistent reading and brain stimulation

.Additionally, readers can experience memory improvement and gain stronger analytical skills. To understand a book, readers are forced to remember complex characters, settings and plot structures, as well as process what is happening. Think of a murder mystery. It is human nature to make predictions about what is going to happen next, and to make those predictions, we use analytical skills. Similarly, when you stimulate your mind by reading, you can improve your focus and concentration.

Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA

  Those Were The Days ... Author : SHRIYANS CHANDAN MOHAPATRA Do you wish you could return to moments from your past? Yes, I wish I could return memories from your past as those were the days. Many people say that growing up is the best part of life. But I disagree. Growing up means a smaller margin for errors, a necessity for seriousness and I just dislike all of those. The only positive about growing up Is total freedom. No one to stop from chasing your dreams except you yourself. But then you need to mature and grow responsible, along with still obeying everyone; that is an expectation that others have of you. Meanwhile when you are a child; a chick whose egg has just cracked, your mistakes are turned into a laughingstock and your naughtiness are converted into a chance to snuggle into your mother’s safe hands. I tell you those were the days. I sometimes feel as if I would give everything I have, even if it means my life to go back in time. Sometimes I feel if only everyone...

The Lonely Old Lady Author : RIYAA JOSHI

  The Lonely Old Lady Author : RIYAA JOSHI "It started a few years ago. I was thirsty for blood. I had developed a taste for human meat and skin. My first victim, Officer Black, was my gardener. One fine day, he came at sharp 6 in the morning, as always, and watered my precious garden generously. At 7, he came in, and requested me to give him a glass of water. I went into the kitchen, alright, but a glass of water wasn't the only thing I took. As Frank the gardener gulped down his glass, my hand rose behind him and a long, sharp knife came into view. I plunged the knife straight through the hem of his shirt and inside his hot and sweaty back as a fountain of blood splashed my pretty pink dress. I couldn't help it, Officer. You see, I am an old lady. I get lonely sitting alone in the small of these four walls. My cannibalism always seems to overwhelm me. My second victim, was old Mrs. Thomas from across the street. Poor lady, I tell you Officer Black. Always cares for me, y...
