One of the parts (lobes) of your brain control your sight and perception. Keeping those parts active keeps the neurons in the lobe working, thus, "stimulating" your brain.
Reading is a mind stimulant. Reading helps exercise your brain, to some effect. Reading words you don't understand, or looking them up, or just thinking about them will make more connections in your brain. The more connections you have in your brain, the more intellectually advanced you will be.
Sir Richard Steele once said, " Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." When you read, you learn. You're actually exercising your brain, because reading makes you think. Even if you're reading a work of fiction, it takes effort to translate the words on the page into mental pictures. You may not realize this as you're reading, but you've become actively involved, unlike when watching television. TV keeps you passively involved, as your brain simply soaks in what's happening on the screen, whereas with reading, you're actively participating. Studies have shown that reading stimulates your brain, allowing your mind to remain sharp even into old age. If you fail to exercise your brain, your brain will begin to fail. You've heard that if you don't exercise your body, your muscles will decline. The same goes for your mind. If it isn't exercised regularly through reading or studying, it, too, will begin to deteriorate. Learning something new, such as a foreign language, will challenge your brain and force it to create stronger links between memory cells. Reading, also, causes your brain to work harder, which builds stronger brain cell connections.
Reading enhances memory of people. With reading, people enables themselves to exercise their brain through reading. Reading also sparks imagination. Aside from getting information through reading, it has also several aids for people who have speech problems and may be used in therapies to them.
You can exercise your brain the same as you exercise your muscles.
A good exercise for the brain is to repeat things. Repeat in your head or out loud to help keep your brain going. Another good thing is reading. You can keep your mind going by staying healthy also.
It means that you should read to exercise your brain as much as you should exercise your body. Example: I am a bookworm, but I love volleyball and track. I'm pretty good at football, too. For a girl, my neighbor says. ;-D
