US study: Reading may be key to living longer

Reading may be the key to living longer. According to a study by researchers at Yale University's School of Public Health, reading books can reduce mortality by up to 20%.

While reading in general has been shown to increase lifespan, the benefits were significantly greater for book readers. Reading fiction, in particular, was found to be the most beneficial. According to the study, reading fiction books for at least 30 minutes a day can add an average of two years to readers' lives.

Relieves stress

Reading can be a healthy way to disconnect and escape the stress of everyday life. Reading fiction, in particular, can improve your mental health and overall well-being.

Slows cognitive decline

Reading may protect against cognitive decline. Those who read regularly may maintain their cognitive abilities better as they age than those who don't, according to a study published in Int Psychogeriatrics. They may have slower rates of memory loss and less decline in thinking skills.

It doesn't matter what you read. It could be a self-help book, a mystery novel, or your favorite science fiction series. And it doesn't require any special equipment other than reading material or a subscription. You can do it outside, inside, or from the comfort of your own home. /CNA
