Anyone watch SBS this evening ? Predict my future - the science of us ? Worth watching if you can get it on one of the programs like Iview.
Studies have show that children who had a traumatic childhood, be that loneliness due to not fitting in, living in a low income home, trauma of any type to list a few things - changes our immune system and causes very high inflammation and many diseases that relate to high levels of inflammation and high blood pressure in adulthood .
One of the most surprising things that came out of the studies was that even if as adults they have become happy successful adults this does not repair the damage that has been done to the immune system in childhood
I wonder how many of us can relate to a difficult childhood for one reason or another.
