Did You Know...
Puzzles
of any sort engage your brain and activate memory and association
functions. Brain teasers, logic puzzles and math puzzles are not bounded
by time or culture, and people have been using them to stay sharp for
centuries, according to Dr. Marcel Danesi, author of "The Puzzle
Instinct."
Challenge
yourself with puzzles: If you're better with words than numbers, start
solving Sudoku puzzles; if you're better with numbers than words, pick
up a crossword puzzle. Bring the puzzles along with you to your doctor
appointments or anytime you will have a few minutes to spare. In the
evening, put together a jigsaw puzzle as you watch TV. You might also
try three-dimensional puzzles that require you to add a spatial
dimension to your brain repertoire.
