Use It or Lose It
It’s a known fact that, like your muscles, if you don’t use your brain, it will become weak. People run and bike and do all kinds of physical activities to stay in good physical condition, but they don’t think about the importance of exercising their brains. We hope you’ll follow our blog to learn about some great (and fun) ways to give your brain a workout and stay mentally fit.
Philipp Lenssen has created some remarkable online games for this very purpose. Here’s one to try called “Dragger.” You have to take the jumbled up pieces of an image and drag them into place to form the correct picture. Try it and let us know how you do. After you complete one, you can click “continue” to get a new picture. The more you do, the faster you’ll be able to assemble them!
NOTE: Due to the technology used by Dragger, this game works only on a computer and not on mobile devices. If you’re on a mobile device and are anxious to give your brain a boost, try Colored Lines (another Philipp Lenssen game) instead.
And to help raise awareness about the importance of brain exercise, we’ve added a new section to our online store with merchandise bearing the “USE IT OR LOSE IT!” graphic you see here.
