Mind puzzles keep your brain young and your mind fresh. They are also a lot of fun to do, but do you actually think about keeping your mind fit when you do them? How frequently should you do them?

I love brain puzzles like sudoku, crossword puzzles, and mind benders and I do them when I have a few spare minutes several times a week. No I don't think about them keeping my mind fit when I am doing them.

i love puzzle games, too, but i mostly play these for fun.  it does keep your mind sharp, and i find that playing for a half hour to an hour a day keeps my noodles witty and on its toes!

Good Morning,

No you don't actually have to "think" about keeping your brain healthy/young, etc. Doing something "mental" like word puzzles is like a work-out for your brain - very similiar to lifting weights for your body's muscles to keep fit and stay in shape. Word puzzles/ crossword puzzles and the like keep the synapses firing and actually physically helps create new pathways in  your brain. Hope this info is helpful to you!
