Pick Up A Puzzle
19 Jul 2021
Mentally-stimulating activities like crossword puzzles are serious exercise for the brain. Our brains fall into routine as our lifestyles do; we can get very comfortable thinking the same thoughts, having the same conversations and engaging in the same activities day after day. Puzzles make us think abstractly and force our brains to form new connections. Not only is this good for neural health, but prolonged participation in mind games and puzzles decreases the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Pick up a book of puzzles, whether it be crosswords, word searches, sudoku or anything else. It’s a cheap (and entertaining) investment in your neural health.
