Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: Whenever you learn something new or practice a skill like reading, your brain physically changes—this is the beautiful process of neuroplasticity! 🧠 However, stating that exactly 10 pages or 20 minutes broadly makes you 'smarter' is an oversimplification. Frequent reading strengthens specific neural pathways (like language and comprehension), but 'smarter' is a subjective term that science doesn't measure from just doing 20 minutes of a single task.
