If you want your brain to stay healthy and strong, you need to exercise it more often. Just like a muscle, your neurons would develop some “muscles” if they are stretch regularly. Games are one way of exercising them so they won’t atrophy and die. It is also with mental exercise that the brain can produce new cells or neurons. Once your brain becomes inactive, you would experience constant memory loss, hence, it is important that you should exercise your brain cells through these fun brain twisters to improve your mental abilities. Some combine supplements for brain health to maximize their brain boosting efforts. There are hundreds of brain teasers online; here are some interesting and fun brain twisters.

Naming objects

Name one object for every letter in your name. Increase the number of objects you name as you continue. In each round you should be naming different items.  You can also reverse the order by starting with the last letter of your name. You may want to do this regularly to sharpen your memory.

1. A Cretan sails to Greece and says to some Greek men who are standing upon the shore: “All Cretans are liars.” Did he speak the truth, or did he lie?
2. A week later, the Cretan sailed to Greece again and said: “All Cretans are liars and all I say is the truth.” Although the Greeks on the shore weren’t aware of what he had said the first time, they were truly puzzled. If someone says “I always lie”, are they telling the truth? Or are they lying?
