Read this - it will be worth your while...

"Haaretz" (http://www.haaretz.co.il/) had an interesting article this weekend about the effects of reading. The article talked about an Israeli research that is being held for the past 18 years on elderly people and their habits. One of the interesting conclusions they had from this research is that the more the person reads, the less likely he would die!
The results showed that the group of people that did not read or read rarely had a much higher death percentage (39%) than the group of people that were regular readers (17%). Interestingly enough, the effects of reading shown by these results affect men only.




My conclusions are:

1. If you read till this line, I probably saved you at least a week or so...
2. You must continue and read my blog - your life depends on it...
