Studies have found that reading an interesting article or picking up a book is important for your mental health.
Read to Relax
Experts found that reading actually reduced stress in participants by nearly 70% and was more effective than things like listening to music or having a cup of tea.
It doesn’t matter what you read, but taking time out from your busy schedule is important for you to be able to switch off. Reading for as little as six minutes a day can improve your quality of sleep, reduce stress, and sharpen your brain and alertness.
This is because reading strengthens the neural circuits and pathways of our brain and this in turn can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Reading as well as exercise can create visible changes in the brain.
Plus, reading about mental health and how to improve it may even help you learn how to overcome any anxiety, depression or stress you have.
