subject: How Reading Exercises Your Brain And Improves Your Learning Capability [print this page] The brain is a very complex and sometimes mysterious organ of the human body. There are very few people that know exactly how this organ actually functions.
Why is it that a lot of people are very brainy with very high IQ levels, yet many people are also not very bright and struggle to complete even the simplest of tasks when asked to do so.?
I suppose one explanation that has been passed around is that the brain is just like a muscle in the body. The more that you work the muscle the more it grows. Therefore the more you use your brain then the more it will work for you. This means that if you do not use your brain a lot then it will struggle to cope with a lot of things.
The similarity with the muscle ends there though. Because unlike the muscle that gets weaker as we grow older, the brain can actually function quite well and still be able to take in information with age. So also in that respect the more that you study then the better your brain will function.
Another good way to get your brain stimulated is to take up reading. Reading can often put new and unexpected twists in the path of the brain. When you are reading there are many variants that can happen and your brain has to understand them all.
Getting the brain to fully understand what is going on in the book and relating it to the outside world is another complex way in which the human brain works. It has to decipher words and symbols so that we understand exactly what is going on.
So it is natural to assume that if you wish to improve your IQ level hen it is a good idea to start reading more. Always try to give the brain something to do and keep it active.
To make your brain develop properly and function as it should you must try to make it constantly work for you.
