I would not use "you" or "your" at all for this sentence, but if you want to go ahead with "you," it would be consistent to use "your" later in the sentence. People say that reading every day makes one intelligent and makes the brain more active.

Personally, I find sentences using "one" sound pedantic and stuff.
If you really want to avoid "you" (I have no problem with it, and I agree with English Maven that if you use "you" then you should use "your"), try "It's said that reading every day increases intelligence and brain activity."
