Puzzles are said to help increase our mental power, as well as concentration, memory, and sharpness. We tend to be more alert and healthier while playing puzzles. Do you know the reason behind this? It has to do with the human brain which is divided into two separate parts called the left and right brains, which deal with linear functions or tasks and holistic or emotional and creative tasks. If we are able to harness the power of both parts of the brain, we will get fantastic results and puzzles will help us to achieve this.

When you work to put the puzzle together, you are using both parts of the brain at the same time. The left hemisphere is used to deal with and think logically, sequentially, and deal with symbols, etc., while the right hemisphere thinks more with emotions, intuition, and concepts.

The brain produces a chemical known as dopamine that is primarily responsible for learning and memory. The production of this chemical increases in the brain as it is dedicated to solving the puzzle.

Puzzles not only enhance our creativity and expand our ability to think; it also increases our concentration, focus and visualization. Visualization is what helps us move on and create the physical solution so that mental activity always precedes physical activity. Using the power of visualization, you can set your mind to achieve anything you want and achieve happiness in life.
