Overview
Puzzles are good for your mental health. Research has shown that daily exercises can boost memory and concentration skills. Studies have found a correlation between increased levels of mental stimulation and reduced risk of dementia, while simple acts such as solving a puzzle can increase blood flow to the prefrontal cortex, which stimulates activity in the rest of the brain. This collection is comprised of a daily mental workout per double-page spread. The puzzles are varied and include memory tests, anagrams, word games, word search, arithmetic, sudoku, and logic tests. The key to stimulating your mind is variety, not difficulty, so the puzzles have been devised to be accessible.Synopsis
