Do you want to keep your brain active and engaged to prevent it from losing power? Do you want to improve your memory or strengthen your analytical thinking skills? Do you need inner peace and tranquillity?

Here is how reading every day can improve your health: 

Mental stimulation
Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of (or possibly even prevent) Alzheimer’s and Dementia, since keeping your brain active and engaged prevents it from losing power. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy.

Stress reduction
No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written novel can transport you to other realms, while an engaging article will distract you and keep you in the present moment,  letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax.

Knowledge      
Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you are to tackle any challenge
you’ll ever face. Remember that although you could lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health, knowledge can never be taken away from you.

Memory improvement
Let your learners pick a book from the reading box/reading trolley and read it aloud to the class. Everyone should get a chance to read and ask their classmates questions afterwards.

Improved focus and concentration
When you read a book, all of your attention is focused on the story — the rest of the world just fades away, and you can immerse yourself in every fine detail you’re absorbing. Try reading for 15 – 20 minutes before work (i.e. on your morning commute, if you take public transport), and you’ll be surprised at how much more focused you are once you get to the office.

Tranquillity
In addition to the relaxation that accompanies reading a good book, it’s possible that the subject you read about can bring about immense inner peace and tranquillity. Reading spiritual texts can lower blood pressure and bring about an immense sense of calm, while reading self-help books has been shown to help people suffering from certain mood disorders and mild mental illnesses.
