No matter what age you are, reading is always a great opportunity to maintain mental fitness
The human mind, just like the muscles, needs food to develop its capacities.
If you don't give it the right content and use it, the brain will become lazy and sluggish. Therefore, apart from going to the gym regularly, practice reading every day because it is the best exercise for the brain.
Reading promotes the creation of neural connections in its various parts, which otherwise remain unstimulated by other activities, Telegraph reports.
The more different content you read, the more different parts of the brain will make new connections, which improves cognitive capacity.
In addition to enriching vocabulary, regular reading engages memory - not only through memorizing content, but also through following the story.
In order to pick up where you left off, you need to remember what you've read before (the plot, characters, and other important details in the novel), and creating new memories strengthens the old ones you already have. Thus the brain acquires the habit of receiving and storing new information.
Also, when you seem to have forgotten something, it is enough to remember a little and the necessary information will arrive through different neural pathways, which you have created by reading. /Telegraph/
