Healthy In the Mind, Healthier In the Body - Our Intuition In This Matter May Have Just Been Proven

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the more you read the greater your chances of success. Still, there are some dyslexic billionaires that don't read much at all, they have trouble learning that way. It's not that with a lot of practice they cannot become efficient readers, it's that they find ways to work around their problems and avoid reading too much. So how do they do it? Well, there are audio books, movies, and there is story-telling. You can learn a lot about how to be successful in the world and get new insight by talking to people and listening to them explain their perspectives and listening to their stories.

Much of what people tell you is not exactly accurate, even if they are not really attempting to lie, perhaps they just have a bit of false memory? Or, they are trying to put their best foot forward. Either way, the more you learn about people, human nature and empathy, the better you will do in life. Further, a healthy mind often comes with a healthy body too, so there are added benefits besides just straight success.

Now then, whereas, dyslexics might find a way to get the same input without reading, there is really no excuse for anyone who can read well, not to.

There was an interesting article in Science Daily in the second week of October 2013 titled; "Reading Is Good for Your Health," which stated; "People with poor reading skills are likely to be less healthy than those who read easily, according to recent research. Literacy skills are important for keeping in good shape," and "Some people don't seem to obtain necessary health information because they're not good readers."

Still, I think that may not be the only reason. Okay so, if we take this study with that recent study showing reading increases empathy (1) then we might say that having empathy for others helps with relationships and that means people are not lonely thus, happier and happier people don't get sick as much, or have better immune systems as they are constantly exposed to whatever else is out there. This study begs more questions.

It might also be that smarter people enjoy reading more and smarter people have more developed brains and more developed brains have more nerve connection and that means better faculties for more movement thus, are not sitting around all day. This could mean many things you see? Healthy body = a healthy brain, and apparently vice-versa. So, feed your brain with good reading, and work to maintain your body and health using that brain of yours. Please consider all this and think on it.
