Description: A collection of puzzles designed to test your brain-power and to improve your mental agility. Puzzles are good for your mental health. Research has shown that daily exercises can boost memory and concentration skills. Studies have found a correlation between increased levels of mental stimulation and reduced risk of dementia, while simple acts such as solving a puzzle can increase blood flow to the prefrontal cortex, which stimulates activity in the rest of the brain. This collection is comprised of a daily mental work-out per double page spread. The puzzles are varied and include memory tests, anagrams, wordgames, word search, arithmetic, su doku and logic tests. The key to stimulating your mind is variety, not difficulty, so the puzzles have been devised to be accessible. * The Times has started featuring brain-training puzzles on page 2 of the main newspaper - 'The Workout' * The Times regularly feature puzzle supplements * The Times will support the book both in the newspaper and online * Research to show one can stave off dementia by keeping one's brain active * Nintendo DS computer game 'Brain Training' has been hugely successful * Su Doku has led to an increased thirst for puzzles * Puzzles in a book format can be enjoyed at any time, any place, by a market that has not moved on to using gadgets
