Reading has some health benefits.

One study found that 30 minutes of reading lowered feelings of emotional distress, blood pressure, and heart rate.

In another study, researchers studied over 5000 participants who read books regularly. It was determined that the benefits of reading books regularly may add up to 12 years to your life.

So grab that new book you’ve been trying to make time for or revisit an old favorite. Whether you like Fiction, Nonfiction, Mystery, Romance, Fantasy, History, Biographies, Classic Literature, or Graphic Novels unplug and enjoy a good book in celebration of National Read a Book Day.
