        Reading books is a habit that everybody must insist on in the day to day life.  People find reading a tiring job. Also, you might be wondering what is the purpose of reading books, the answer is not only can you gain knowledge or idea about a particular subject. In addition to that, it helps you lead a healthy lifestyle. when it comes to reading do not only consider fiction, it can be anything like finances, sports, autobiographies, and short stories. It improves proficiency, vocabulary, and creative writing in your reading language. Improves concentration and memory. You need not be an avid reader to begin. 



READING IMPROVES EMPATHY
    
       It is believed that reading helps a person empathize with other's experiences. when you read a book you travel along with the character and assume yourself as the protagonist. You tend to experience everything the protagonist goes through. This helps you understand what the other person is going through. The critical element is to stand in someone's shoes or be empathetic toward others.


READING REDUCES STRESS

        Stress affects both physical and mental well-being. Learning how to cope with stress is more important for our physical and mental health. Research by Dr. David Lewis showed that reading as little as six minutes a day can reduce stress levels by 60% by reducing your heart rate, easing muscle tension, and altering your state of mind. That same study showed that reading was better at reducing stress than music, drinking a cup of tea, going for a walk, and playing video games.


READING CAN IMPROVE SLEEP

        Reading is a key component of an effective bedtime routine. Avoid reading e-books at night, if not use an e-reader with a monochrome screen that does not emit blue light. Audiobooks can be used as an alternative to e-books at night. At bedtime listening to audiobooks soothes your mood and helps you relax. It is like going on a new adventure and calming your mind.


WHAT SHOULD I READ

        Choose books that have lighter storylines. Short stories will be a better choice for a beginner. Go for the genre that you are most interested in. Pick out something that is not dull or dry also not too exciting, that it keeps you awake all night.
