And because March is National Reading Month, the timing is perfect. Studies show that reading has lasting benefits to both physical and mental health. Being engrossed in a good page-turner helps improve concentration and memory, strengthens connections in the brain, and reduces stress. Make time this month to read – for wellness.

Happy International Friendship Month.

Strong friendships are beneficial to overall health and wellness. Having a best friend or close circle of friends helps reduce stress, increases sense of purpose, and gives us somewhere to turn when coping with difficult times. Reach out to your friends to see how they’re doing and let them know the influence they have in your life.
