This quotation about how your brain works is one of my all-time favorites:
Whenever you read a book or have a conversation, the experience causes physical changes in your brain,” says science writer George Johnson, author of In the Palaces of Memory. “It's a little frightening to think that every time you walk away from an encounter, your brain has been altered, sometimes permanently.”
Not only do reading and conversing affect your brain health -- research shows that over the counter medications and environmental toxins can decrease your memory, affect thinking skills, and even cause cognitive impairment. The healthier your brain, the less risk of Alzheimer's and other dementia-type diseases you face as you age!
