Puzzles Boost Brain Health

The right-side of your brain controls creativity and the left side of your brain controls analytic and logical thinking. When you are working on a puzzle, both sides of your brain are being used which helps exercise your brain.

Puzzles Improve Memory

Working on puzzles not only helps your brain to form new connections, it also strengthens connections between existing brain cells. This means puzzles are a great way to improve short-term memory.

Puzzles Improve Problem-Solving Skills

When solving puzzles, we often take different approaches to arrive at the solution. We do this using trial and error, existing rules, and even calculated guesses based on experience. The ability to solve problems can be useful in many day-to-day life situations and puzzles help us develop these skills.

Puzzles Decrease Stress Levels

Puzzles exercise and relax our brain at the same time. While we are concentrating on solving a puzzle, our minds normally focus on one task. In turn, this focus helps our brains to go into a state of meditation, leading to a better mindset and improving our skills in coping with stress.

Puzzles Improve Mood

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, memory, and concentration. With every success when solving and completing a puzzle, the production of dopamine is increased. This in turn enhances your mood and makes solving puzzles so much fun!
