The Art of reading- an excellent habit for kids and adults



There is a famous quote which says "Reading is to the mind is what exercise is to the body". The human mind is made of muscle and one need to constantly exercise that muscle for it to stay healthy and fresh. One is never too old to begin reading as it keeps the mind ticking as well as it sharpens the intellect. The digital era has the world wide web and the television to amuse one's mind, however for that deeper, insightful experience books are a great source.

Importance of reading
Reading requires a lot of mental agility and focus. Unlike watching television or listening to music, reading makes you think, ponder and you are completely involved in it. In this process, you begin to question, to reason and you make use of your grey cells. These grey cells sharpen your mind and make you smarter and wiser. Reading stimulates the mind muscles. When you remember dates, numbers, plots, facts it is an indication of your memory at work.
