reading and your brain

A recent study published online January 23 in the journal Archives of Neurology stated that " doing puzzles and reading books have been linked with a decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease, and a new study may explain why — it reduces the accumulation of harmful proteins in the brain."

Terrific news!  Now when I sit in my comfy chair and read instead of doing housework or other chores, I can say I am mentally stimulating my brain!   love it!

For more information on this study go to Vitals on MSNBC.
