Not only are these brain teasers fit for all ages, but are a perfect way to unwind and sharpen your memory.
If you're looking for some light entertainment that doesn't involve watching TV, then you need to consider puzzles. Not only are these brain teasers fit for all ages, but are a perfect way to unwind and sharpen your memory. "The brain is actually like a muscle. You use it or you lose it," says Dr. Santosh Kesari, a neuro-oncologist, and chair of the Department of Translational Neuro-oncology and Neurotherapeutics at the John Wayne Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in California. "When you don’t use your brain very much, it gets weaker. I think it is important for brain health that you use your brain more," Dr. Kesari told Healthline.
Keeping Dr. Kesari's philosophy in mind, researchers at the University of Exeter and Kings College London conducted an online study involving 17,000 people. Through this study, they wanted to measure essential brain functions in healthy people who were aged 50 or older. The results were truly baffling. The study published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry found people who do puzzles have brain functions that are equal to that of someone 10 years younger. Who would have thought solving puzzles was the elixir of life?
Keeping these pointers in mind, here's a fun puzzle that you will love solving:
