If you read daily you will develop your memory and improve your cognitive abilities :

Take for example a novel, when you are reading, you imagine the elements of the book (Faces, Places, Colors, ....) and you stimulate your mind and your imagination. This stimulation prevents your brain from losing its abilities because the brain is a muscle that needs training to function well like all other muscles in the body. For this reason, all specialists recommend reading as the best way to avoid Alzheimer's disease. **_So ! To develop your memory and cognitive abilities do not forget to add to your daily program at least an hour of reading._** ____ ### 2. Reading is an effective solution if you suffer from stress and anxiety and also improves the quality of sleep :

It does not matter what kind of books you read, but I recommend you choose books that are related to personal development, so that you enjoy even more, **_personally when I started reading this kind of books I felt a radical improvement in my life._** If you have problems with insomnia, reading can help you. Try to read something you like before you sleep, the accumulated tension will disappear and you will feel a calming of your mind and falling asleep will become very easy. Avoid reading with the computer or mobile phone because the screens are bad for sleep and excite more than they appease. ____ ### If you are not used to reading regularly, know that it is normal to have reading difficulties at the beginning ! but do not worry : Reading is learned and there are techniques to start reading :
- The first technique is to find a topic that interests you and that you like a lot. - You have to choose a suitable place, a place for reading, peaceful and pleasant in which you can concentrate. - Dedicate a moment of your day to reading : for example in the evening before going to bed to help fall asleep or in the morning in transport. - Adopt a good position : you have to sit comfortably to enjoy your book.
**_All recent studies show that we can not be healthy and happy if we do not have time to take care of ourselves._** **_It is important to take care of your mind by reading as you do to take care of your body through sports and nutrition._**
