Because your brain only uses words for a small fraction of its processing, but the things being processed span across both parts of your brain. As you work with your body, your brain is doing math and gaining insight about the world. It’s helping to process information involved in the things you write about.
Non-verbal activities are an excellent way to keep working on problems you originally conceived verbally, when it’s time for that part of you to take a break.
And just basic interaction with the concrete world is in some ways like consulting a computerized oracle that, while speaking in a strange tongue, never says anything untrue.
Also exercise gets your blood moving. Best way to get your brain well-supplied with oxygen, nutrients, and growth hormones is to exercise. It’s as good as coffee.
