After spending far too much time on apps and social media over the last few years, I decided it was time for a change. I'd started to get really frustrated with how I was spending my spare time. One day, when I realized I'd checked my phone over 100 times, I knew something had to give.
So, I deleted my social media apps from my phone and made a promise to myself to do something more positive with my time.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I'd stopped reading as much over the last couple of years. At first, it wasn't easy for me to find things to do. But then a friend sent a magazine Readly to me. I'd always loved reading magazines and thought it was time to give them a go again.
The selection of Readly is amazing: food, fitness, lifestyle, sports, culture and hobbies are all covered. I've been reading it in the evenings to relax instead of watching TV. I've also found it great for inspiration and ideas for new recipes(食谱)in the food section. I have been on a diet to lose some weight, so the fitness section has been really helpful, too. Having so many meaningful things to read is just fantastic. I can't think how much I would have had to spend to get all that content.

I've also shared Readly with my husband who loves sports section.

Does Reading Improve Health
When thinking about our well being and taking care of ourselves, some things that we should do are harder than others. Reading is one of the easier ones. What follows are a number of ways in which reading can help maintain and improve health.
Reading allows you to de-stress by unplugging and escaping. In one study, reading was found to be as effective as yoga and humor in reducing subjective feelings of stress over a 30-minute period, as well as blood pressure and heart rate. Note that a good old-fashioned book or a dedicated eBook reader is the best way to do this.
Readers may live longer than non-readers. One study found that this was supposed to be due to the effect that reading has on maintaining cognitive abilities over time. In another study of individuals aged 64 and over, those who read at least once a week were less likely to experience cognitive decline than those who did not. At the 14-year mark of the study, and regardless of educational level, those who read more enjoyed greater protection. This effect is maintained into readers’ 80’s.
Bibliotherapy, or the use of various reading materials for the promotion of psychological health, is a well-known aid to mental health treatment. Bibliotherapy can consist of any type of literature and may include self-help books, focused readings, first-hand accounts of others’ experiences, and even relevant fiction. This can be a powerful strategy and has been used successfully to reduce depression, suicidal thinking, anxiety, stress and etc.
The benefits of reading are innumerable and reading is a low to no-cost activity. Cheap and no-cost books are everywhere. Public libraries continue to be one of the most amazing resources. If you aren’t a natural reader, you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.
