Question

In what way is reading of books better than watching television?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Research even found that Alzheimer's is 2.5 times less likely to appear in elderly people who read regularly, while TV was presented as a risk factor. ... So far, reading looks pretty good compared to television. Reading calms the nerves, increases language and reasoning, and can even keep you mentally alert as you age.

Answer 2

Answer:

All the research says reading a book is good for you. Better even than listening to an audiobook or reading one on an e-reader. It reduces stress, promotes comprehension and imagination, alleviates depression, helps you sleep and may contribute to preventing Alzheimer's. Reading is active; watching TV is passive.
