Well, duh! What we long time readers have always known has finally been proved.A recent study, published in Nature, noted that reading and other similar activities reduced the rate of cognitive decline in dementia patients. Other studies have found that the more immediate benefits of reading include an increased tolerance for uncertainty.
As the Atlantic Wire article states, "Besides making you an empathetic, sexy, cultured and all around more interesting human being, reading apparently provides definite benefits to your mental health, sharpening the mind as it ages."
