Stop the doom-scrolling on your phone and actually do things that will stimulate your brain like the puzzles and word games in this new activity book. Doing puzzles actually helps keep your brain young.
BigThink.com states:
“Solving difficult visual puzzles seems to help the brain “rewire” itself by forming new neural pathways. Solving simple puzzles can help to “rewire” the brain, and it may even help to repair damage caused by traumatic injuries.”
Research has proven that doing word puzzles reduces the onset of dementia and can rewire the brain to help those who have suffered a traumatic brain injury like a stroke.
ProgressLifeline.com states
“A study found that doing crossword puzzles could reduce the onset of dementia by two and a half years. This suggests that mentally stimulating activities may help delay the onset of symptoms.”
As a child, way before cell phones, you would find me with a word puzzle book during my downtime, especially during long Sunday drives with my parents. I loved word-fill-ins, word searches, and cryptogram-style of puzzles. These days you’ll find me working on the same kinds of puzzles along with crosswords and sudoku puzzles.
The puzzles in the book are divided into themes or categories with fifteen or so puzzles in each category. From logic puzzles to crosswords to cryptograms and more, there are puzzles to fit every style of puzzler. Of course, there are answers at the end of the book in case you get stuck. This activity book would make a great gift for a parent or grandparent or as a family activity during mealtime. Families can pass the book around the table and each person can fill in the part of the puzzle they know or discuss the possible answers as a family.
Since I received an eBook for this review, I wasn’t able to complete all the puzzles because I had to rewrite them and then complete the puzzle. But, the few I did were fun and not too difficult.
