1. Get Stuck Into A Jigsaw
Jigsaws aren’t just for kids or Christmas; they’re a great way to strengthen your brain by challenging your thinking. Putting together shapes to create a bigger pattern helps to stimulate your brain and make connections.
It doesn’t matter if you do a 1000-piece puzzle of the Taj Mahal or borrow your child’s Frozen jigsaw; sitting down to do a jigsaw is fun and enriching.
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience did a study proving that jigsaw puzzles are excellent at protecting a person’s visuospatial cognition. This is because you are required to put different small images together and figure out their position in the larger image.
