Welcome to the Brain Puzzler
Why should we do brain puzzles?
We all know the importance of eating a balanced diet. If we eat well, our whole body works better and we feel better. We all know how important it is to exercise regularly too. To have a healthy heart, we should exercise for 30 minutes at least three times a week. But did you know that our brain needs exercise too? We get a lot of our intelligence from our parents, but between 20 to 50 percent of our intelligence comes from how we use our brains. So if we regularly use our brains to do puzzles, we actually become more intelligent. Puzzles are a great way to get smart and have fun at the same time.
Try all the top five brain puzzles.
