Fitness Isn’t Just Physical
It’s important to exercise our brains too. Brain exercise is essential because it not only strengthens neural pathways, but can also build new ones. We chose each type of puzzle in this book to help strengthen different cognitive skills. For example, Sudoku trains the brain to think critically and improve concentration. Crosswords help develop cognitive reserve. Cryptograms enhance problem-solving. At the same time, Word Search puzzles improve memory, focus, and vocabulary.
