It is so important that you continue reading for at least 30 minutes daily.

Reading has so many benefits:

• strengthens the brain
• increases empathy
• builds vocabulary
• prevents cognitive decline (keeps your brain from slowing down)
• reduces stress
• aids sleep
• alleviates depression (keeps you from becoming sad)
• lengthens lifespan (helps you live longer, imagine!)
• alleviates boredom! 
• helps you learn new things
