The word for the week is "Read”
Reading something
interesting each week for at least 15 minutes keeps you curious, which fuels
innovation and creativity. The health
benefits are huge. Studies
have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress or possibly
even prevent Alzheimer’s and Dementia, since keeping your brain active and
engaged prevents it from losing power.
We often overlook the advantages of exercising our brain to keep
it functioning at a high level. It’s
important to keep it strong and healthy.
As we get older, we watch a great deal more television. And with our DVR’s, On Demand, Netflix and
other services, we can binge watch for hours.
In addition to leading to more aggressive behavior, watching too much
can reduce your level of intelligence, and make it difficult to
concentrate. In a recent study, it was
found that if adults watched less than 2 hours a day and sat less than 3 hours
a day, life expectancy in the US would increase by 2 years.
Researchers suggest to keep the brain stimulated, consider playing
games, such as chess and doing puzzles.
Let’s not forget that another benefit of reading is that you’ll
learn something while building your vocabulary.
What do you do the keep your brain stimulated?
