Looking after your mental health is just as vital as looking after your physical health. Often, good self-care can be as simple as picking up a magazine and escaping into a story. Reading isn’t just a hobby; it can form an invaluable part of your self-care routine.
Immersing yourself in a magazine is excellent for stress relief. Research indicates that reading for as little as six minutes daily can lower stress levels by 60%. This activity physically helps reduce your heart rate, ease muscle tension, and guide you into a relaxed state of mind.
Reading is a high level, active cognitive-stimulating activity. This helps build your ‘cognitive reserve,’ which not only increases your analytical and critical thinking abilities in everyday life but can also protect against memory loss and delay the onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia as you age.
By using PressReader, available free from your local library, you have over 7000 publications at your fingertips. So why not improve your wellbeing today and sign up for the PressReader service.
The most enticing part of the newspaper isn’t always the headlines on the front. For many, it’s the puzzles in the back.
The benefits of puzzles are numerous. They combine the fun of an engaging game, the thrill of a formidable challenge and the relaxation of a mindful daily ritual. Puzzles such as crosswords and sudoku have stood the test of time and can deliver real benefits. A large-scale and widely-reported study conducted by the University of Exeter and King’s College London tested the attention, memory and reasoning skills of more than 19,000 participants aged 50 and over. On average, those who regularly did these classic puzzles had the brain function of someone ten years younger and the short-term memory of someone eight years younger.
For some, puzzles represent a peaceful, solitary endeavor — a daily ritual with a morning coffee, a way to relax while maintaining focus during a study break or a stimulating way to pass the time while travelling.
For others, puzzles are an opportunity for social engagement. Friends or colleagues may challenge each other for fun, competing to see who can solve the day’s puzzle the fastest or make the fewest mistakes.
From crosswords to codewords and wordsearches to sudoku, PressReader offers a daily selection of classic newspaper puzzles. So, PressReader users can now get their favorite newspapers, magazines, books and puzzles all in one platform.
