Books vs Movies

What is better, sitting in the theater while a little kid kicks the back of your seat and spills popcorn all over you or snuggling up at home with a good book, a blanket and absolutely no one to talk to? Some people may answer, of course it must be a movie, because a book is boring. It's a slow process, it takes so long to do, there's too much thinking involved. Others may answer, why go out and waste money, when an adventure awaits you at your desk? Books contain mystery, and most of the fun is finding things out for yourself and experiencing it like you are really there. When into a book, instead of seeing the results of someone else's opinionated response, try to see what happens from your own point of view. We all interpret things differently, so one person may take a situation like fear, while another might see it as an opportunity and a lot of excitement. Directors of movies often alter some of the plot, and whether or not viewers have read the original story, this can confuse and upset some people. Books are a better way to entertain and inform people because they contain all of the original important details that are usually vital to the understanding of the story. So of course, a book is much better than a movie.

How Reading Can Have A Positive Effect On Your Health

Reading can have a positive effect on your health because it is good for you to learn new things. You also exercise your brain when you read. With the same benefits your brain gets from doing things like math or puzzles, we strengthen our mind like the muscle it is. It is also important for us to stay healthy by reading because we can learn a lot of the things we use to live healthier lifestyles and to make more beneficial choices from the information we acquire as we read. Besides, we wouldn't know all we do about our health and living different ways if it weren't for all the people that decided to record what they had learned. 

Walk into a doctors's office (a real doctor's office, not an examination room) and you will usually see a shelf with a lot of books containing important information that I'm willing to bet, no guarantee, they refer to quite often. And if they don't, then they are either a pretty freaking smart doctor and memorized everything they know, or they get all their knowledge from other doctors who are actually working. So many people have saved lives or made life healthier for themselves or someone else because of something they read in a book, whether they read it out of interest in that subject and with a purpose, or if it was an eyeful of useless crud that turned out to be suitable to a situation in their real lives. I even helped my family find more out about Celiac Disease for my sister, Emily. Now we know twice as much as we would have initially known when we found my sister had her allergy, and have found easier ways for her to both live and work with such a complicated diet.

Finally, a person's emotional health being just as important as the physical aspect is, reading can make you feel good. Not just because a story with a happy ending makes everyone smile, but because every little thing is an accomplishment and reading a book can make someone feel complete and fulfilled. Reading is good for your mind and emotion, which in turn can only help you physically. Make sure to read and run often, it pays off, and feels good.
