- Yes, this essay is primary about kids and the life-long effects of stress.
Still, also pertains to us, as infection itself - and all that goes along with that for our bodies, our brains, our finances and relationships, etc.
Well, what Kristoff says here is so very important to everyone. Everyone.
Elevated Cortisol is a killer and causes so many problems before it deals its last card. Obesity is very much connected, by the way. And that is just for starters. Brain damage from stress can be very serious, indeed.
I'm glad someone is finally writing about that from the perspective of children.
