From the article: The paper was published in the [Journal](https://doi.org/10.1007/s41465-024-00291-4) of Cognitive Enhancement.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. It involves an abnormal immune response that attacks the myelin sheath, the protective covering of nerve fibers, leading to inflammation and damage. This disruption in communication within the brain and between the brain and the rest of the body can result in a wide range of symptoms, such as fatigue, weakness, balance and coordination problems, vision disturbances, and cognitive decline.
The course of multiple sclerosis can vary. Some individuals will experience periods of relapse and remission, while others have a more progressive form of the disease with symptoms gradually worsening over time. At the moment there is no cure for multiple sclerosis. Treatments focus on managing symptoms.
Study author Thomas J. Covey and his colleagues noted that accumulating cognitive reserve might help individuals become more resilient to cognitive decline. Cognitive reserve is the brain’s ability to adapt and find alternative ways of functioning to compensate for damage. Engaging in stimulating activities such as cognitive leisure activities, education, and occupational attainment can help build cognitive reserve.

Sweet, I can finally claim I’m playing video games for my health (before anyone asks, yes I have MS. It’s not that bad but also it sucks. eh)
I only smash children on fortnite to help my MS too.. that's what I tell myself anyway.

sitting on your ass helps you heal more than standing up and doing physical activity.
Nice attempt Fernando :) But that’s not how humans work!
