So, in this paper, the researchers analyzed the DNA of more than 200 people. Those who reported on the rejection, neglect, inability to speak from the heart, play board games with Mom and Dad as a child, had telomeres on average 25% less than those who were good, warm, harmonious and friendly relations with their parents.
