Today I will present the following blog that I find very interesting, since I am a lover of reading ...

There is nothing better than reading, it relaxes you and transports you to unimaginable places, immerses you in incredible worlds. However there are many people around us who do not like to read or just have not found a book that really catches them. I am one of the people who like to encourage others to read, whether they are old people, young people or children, I would like each person who has this hobby to take the time to transmit to others this culture that in many places is no longer practiced but for what is necessary. In these times it is very rare when we see a child or young person with a book in their hands, since the technology is overwhelmed with everything, we see more often and in more places all kinds of people with their phone, tablet or computer in networks social or playing a video game ... But do not ask: And where were books?

Many will see reading as a distraction or as a waste of time, but really the habit of reading has many benefits for our brain that is the organ that never rests. I am sure that, as many of them have done, when they are fully involved in a story they end up crying, laughing or annoyed by any situation that develops in it and that our brain is responsible for this.

When we read our brain processes the texts and converts them into images, that is practically when we read we see TV in our head and it has been scientifically proven that reading can transform ignorance into reasoning, imagination is linked to creativity and turns the stagnation into Empowerment, that is, as a person makes you grow in many areas.

As you know, our brain is divided into two hemispheres that work together, although for some functions one is more effective than the other. So while the right hemisphere, called visual or holistic, takes care of our bodily and spatial perception and handles visual images, it processes poetry, love, adventures, happiness, desires, art, creativity and imagination. And the left hemisphere called logical or symbolic processes information sequentially and controls language, logic, science, reason, reality, numbers, strategies.

These are 7 Benefits of Reading for Our Brain:

• Reading increases blood flow, which is greater oxygenation to our brain and also improves cognitive function is the ability to learn and recall information, organize, plan and solve problems.

• Our brain does not distinguish between the facts that we actually live and what we have read, so when we read we can have the same feelings as our character, we can feel happiness and sadness, that increases empathy and understanding towards other people that is something that He needs a lot in our world.

• Reading decreases the level of stress in large quantities, since your brain leaves your problems aside to focus on other situations that the book you choose presents.

• We can prevent Alzheimer's and Dementia with reading since it stimulates brain activity and strengthens neuronal connections.

• It increases the functional connectivity of the brain, that is, it interacts with the different zones that form it.

• It is excellent and very important for professional success since the impact of reading on people's lives is much greater than that of other activities such as sports.

• Exercising our memory, widening it and making it much more flexible, feeds emotional intelligence and in turn fixes memories.

Reading is like a gym for our brain, one of the pleasures of life that you can give ... If you are one of those who loves books as much as I do after reading this blog you will be wanting to do much more followed, this is like a trip without leaving your house, having incredible experiences that you know that you could not do close up in reality but that leaves you that feeling so good that you go for more!
