Puzzles Can Help Your Brain
46 |
Scientificstudieshaveproventhatworkingwithpuzzlesandotherlogic games helps improve reasoning, memory and logic. They promote a form of synergy between the left and right brain, termed by psychologists as a “full brain approach”. This can result in better memory, deeper learning and better recall. Puzzles appeal to our creative and logical minds, offering a full brain work out, especially for retirees who don’t have a daily work commitment.
Burstows recognises this and hope that by offering this Puzzle Book with up to three-month’s worth of fun brain exercises, we can actually help you improve your brain vibrancy as you get older. One of the biggest fears for us all as we get older is losing our mental sharpness, possibly developing dementia, Alzheimer’s or other mental illnesses – but by giving our brain a moderate workout on a frequent basis we can help hold off the onset of some of these issues.
Puzzles and games also instigate social interaction and communication. Doing puzzles together is a pleasurable experience for all participants helping to maintain social and communicative skills. Science has also shownthatwhenapuzzleisfinallycompletedthereisafeelingofsatisfaction and dopamine is released in the brain, as a kind of reward system for our efforts.
Please enjoy your FREE Burstows Puzzle Book. Remember all the answers and solutions can be found on our web site www.burstows.com.au They are published at the beginning of each month along with a couple of bonus Questions that will give you an extra entry in the monthly draw for the $100 Coles voucher.
