of literary fiction stories related to the lives
of others, develop knowledge of understanding
others feelings better. Researchers call this

Reading Keeps Your Brain Healthy
Reading changes your brain. Reading involves a
complex network of signals and circuits in the
brain. As you read more, this network becomes
stronger. Chhaya Publication books help you in
intense book reading which in turn, strengthens
the brain and keeps it healthy. Throughout the
reading period, brain connectivity increases in
the cortex, which responds to pain and movement.

Reading Reduces Stress
The effect of prolonged book reading has been
shown to be equivalent to yoga and meditation.
Studies have shown that reading for 30 minutes
lowered blood pressure, heart rate and feelings
of depression just like yoga does. You can easily
take out 30 minutes from your daily routine to
devote time to reading.

Reading Helps You Sleep Better
No stress means good sleep. Several doctors
suggested book reading as a sleeping regime. You
need to read a printed copy of the book rather
than reading on screen. Reading on screen can
keep you awake leading to other health issues.
So, it is advisable to read a printed version of
a book to induce sleep.
