Brain Feeling Foggy? Lecithin Might Help! (Simple Story About Dementia)

Hello my wonderful friends! Have you ever forgotten where you put your favourite book? Or maybe forgotten a friend's name for just a little second? Oops! Our brains play little tricks on us sometimes, right? Hehehe. Usually, it is just our brain being a little bit tired or busy. But sometimes, for older people especially, forgetting things happens more and more often. It can start to feel worrying. There is a special word for when the brain's "remembering helper" gets very, very tired and has trouble doing its job. The word is Dementia (say: dee-MEN-sha). What is Dementia Like? Imagine your brain is like a super amazing library, full of wonderful memories and smart ideas. Dementia is like a naughty little Gremlin sneaking into the library and mixing up the books! People (Often older people) might start forgetting important things, not just where they put their keys, but maybe big memories too. Thinking can feel tricky, like trying to solve a puzzle with missing piece...
