The Way You Read Affects Your Mind
Joseph Addison said, “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” And he’s not far from wrong.
A Stanford University study discovered that reading a novel closely – thinking about its value – exercises the brain. Conversely, reading the same novel simply for pleasure increases blood flow to different sections of the brain. Their conclusion was that studying what you read gave your brain a more complex workout than light, “brain candy” reading. Now there is food for thought!
