That reading is
good for your brain has been known for a long time, but a new study shows that
picking up a book regularly could lengthen your life.
Writing in the
journal Social Science and Medicine, researchers from Yale University said it
doesn’t really matter what you read, as long as you read. The longer, the
better.
Researchers
reached their conclusions by looking at data from 3,635 health survey
participants. They were broken down into three groups — those reading up to
three-and-a-half hours per week, those who read more, and those who didn’t read
at all.
After factoring
in age, gender, education and economic status, they found that readers lived
two years longer than non-readers.
Furthermore,
they found that those who read up to 3.5 hours were 17 percent less likely to
die over the next dozen years, with those reading longer than that were 23
percent less likely to die.
