Mind Challenges

In Mental Fitness and Longevity, we saw how important IMPORTANT it is to find new challenges for our brains to enjoy every day.

With that in minds, below are a few mental games. They vary from “I knew that!” easy to “How’d you expect me to know that?!” hard. But keep in mind, coming up with the correct answers isn’t as important as looking for the correct answers. It’s a lot like physical exercise, doing 100 sit ups actually isn’t as important as the attempt.
