I know William James suffered from neurasthenia. And many philosophers who read a lot (Hume, Schopehenhauer) had depression. I thinking reading a lot, and thinking a lot about history, philosophy, in a forced systematic and comprehensive way that philosophy demands (and not in a relaxing way) can bring on symptoms of neurasthenia, which is the exhaustion of the central nervous system's energy. Sedentary activity, of course, creates fatigue over the long haul too. But really, I think intensive reading of philosophy isolates people from the normal things the average person does, and gives the reader a kind of distance that makes him...strange. And being labelled 'strange' is like ostracism in the conformity based culture of the 21st century. This itself could bring on mental health repercussions.

Reading can have benefits for both mental and physical health. Mentally, reading can improve cognitive skills, reduce stress, and increase empathy. Physically, reading has been shown to reduce heart rate and lower blood pressure, contributing to overall well-being.
The main idea is that reading has various health benefits, such as reducing stress, improving brain function, and enhancing empathy. It can also contribute to overall well-being and mental health by providing a form of escapism and relaxation.
You can say "mental and physical health". You can also say "physical and mental health". So both are completely acceptable.
