Getting lost in a page-turning book isn’t just an enjoyable hobby for seniors, but it also can enhance your mental and emotional health. Whether it’s poetry or prose, fiction or nonfiction, research indicates that avid readers may experience many health benefits.

1. Improves brain functioning
2. Reduces stress
3. Helps combat anxiety
4. Boosts happiness and life satisfaction
5. Increases your empathy
6. Helps you fall asleep
These benefits of reading for seniors show that you can never go wrong with taking the time to enjoy a good book. Bookworms everywhere can rest assured knowing their favorite activity is also improving their mental and emotional health.
