When we think our neurons need fuel. So, while you’re having fun trying to solve games like Sudoku or crossword puzzles, your brain is burning approximately 1 calorie per minute. It may not seem that much, but in addition to losing calories, solving these games will also stimulate your brain, keeping your mind active and healthy.
\nWe’ve chosen a few games to help you exercise your mind, have fun!<\/p>\n

Sudoku<\/a><\/strong>
\nSudoku! It’s a simple, addictive game of logic. Decipher the mystery of the numerical framework using logic and patience. Remember there’s only one rule! Fill in all the cells so that each row, column and 3×3 frame has all 1-9 digits only once. It’s time to use your head!<\/p>\n

Text Express 2\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>
\nA classic word game. Rearrange the letters to form as many different words as possible before time runs out. An extensive vocabulary is very useful in this game, but speed and tenacity are also vital attributes.<\/p>\n

Mahjong Fortuna\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>
\nClear the board by searching for stones with similar images. The faster you clear the board, the higher the score!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
