According to the Washington Post, a new study by Duke University in the United States found that overweight people who read novels related to weight loss will help them lose weight.
It is reported that this is the first study on the relationship between reading and a healthy lifestyle. The results of the study were announced at the annual meeting of Social Obesity on October 4th. Russell, a medical student at Duke University who was responsible for this study, mentioned that although the weight loss effect may not be so obvious, the study proves that the effect of reading books to lose weight does exist.
