The secrets of - Reading For Wellness


Welcome to “Reading for Wellness” where we aim to share the beauty of reading and the secrets of how this can support your health and wellbeing.




I am joined by a good friend and fellow creative writer Suzy Dansby as we bounce ideas off each other to create our blogs for “Reading for Wellness”


Reading For Wellness aim is to support members to understand and manage their health and wellbeing.

Why do we read?


The knowledge you gain from reading also gives you lots to talk about with others.


Benefits of Reading

  • A great way to relax and unwind.

  • Provides a safe space and way to explore your emotions.

  • Helps to develops stronger vocabulary.

  • Provides enjoyment and pleasure

  • Ability to increase your attention span

  • Escapism into another world

  • Feeling like your living the characters experience absorbed in the moment.

  • Fabulous way to support your health and wellbeing

According to research reading is understood to be a better way to reduce stress than both listening to music or going for a walk and could reduce stress levels by up to 68%.


Social reading activities like book clubs online and in person can promote wellbeing, combat isolation and bring people together in supportive communities.
