11st free reading
The text says above people who read live longer. New
research shows that people who read a lot live longer. The study was carried
out by researchers from Yale University in the USA. Thirty minutes a day is
good. Reading keeps our mind busy. It lowers our stress. Books are better than
newspapers and magazines. Researchers looked at the lifestyles and reading
habits of 3,500 men and women for 12 years. Everyone was over 50 years old at
the start of the research.
People who read for up to 3.5 hours a week are 17 per cent
less likely to die than people who do not read. Older people live longer when
they read. A researcher said it didn't matter if you were male or female,
healthy, rich or went to a good school. People over 65 years old watch too much
TV. They should read more.
