I would understand if it were books that were educational, however I often see fiction refered. What makes reading so good?
In: Biology
Your brain is basically a whole bunch of connected things, and when doing things, these connections activate. A connection that activates, is more likely to activate in the future, making stronger connections. If you don’t activate as many of these connections as possible, they might start to not activate when they should. This is very loosely how dementia works, you don’t recognize someone you should because the “memory” connections don’t activate.
And well, then there is the whole higher level character building bit’s everyone else is talking about… thought I’d chime in the nitty gritty bits.
