Are you stuck in a funk of binge watching your favorite series at night or
mindlessly watching the computer screen? What happened to that “beach read”
that never made it out of your bag on that summer vacation? A new study from the
University of California in Irvine suggests that if you substitute a night of TV
watching to focus instead on sharpening your memory and concentration with a
literary break you might find your mood and energy levels improve too! As the
months get colder don’t be afraid to curl up on the couch with a mug of green tea
and a good book—maybe a roaring fire too. Not only will your heart feel good,
your mind will be fed too. It’s for your health!
