Today, online and on the tv, you see endless suggestions on how to keep your body in shape. However, something we rarely hear about is how to keep your brain healthy. In fact, it’s at least as important as exercising the body, if not more.
Sure, you use your brain all the time, even in your sleep, but taking a break to solve a few puzzles is a good way to make your brain let go of the daily worries in your life. Often times you’ll notice that your mind becomes clearer and more relaxed after some good challenges.
When you hear the word puzzle, most of us probably think of the crosswords and sudoku that come in the morning newspaper. Thanks to the internet, however, now you can find thousands of tests online, all of which will help you exercise your brain.
