A sedentary lifestyle can lead to all sorts of health issues, but new research shows that there’s at least one good thing you can do during all that time of your feet: read a book. Researchers found that readers have strong cognitive skills that, combined with reading, showed a positive relationship with living longer. Although researchers haven’t found the exact reason why this most be, they believe the deep engagement required to read a full-length book may have something to do with it. In any case, it’s never a bad idea to open up a book and start reading.
