1. ReadingÂ
Reading makes us smarter while increasing our life expectancy. How so? Well… stress is a big problem nowadays that can lead to numerous health problems such as depression, anxiety, and even heart disease.
Therefore, having your nose in a book regularly may add some years to your life. Books allow us to escape into different worlds and, as a recent study suggests, just 6 minutes of reading can help us keep problems and concerns at bay.
Psychologists add that when reading, the human mind concentrates on a certain thing, namely, the book, and this is how reading works its magic on our health.
