Why when you're little and injured can you heal so qucikly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fewer bad things: As we age, many things happen as part of that process naturally and as a result of our lifestyle choices. Little children do not smoke, have good nutrition, are active, do not have a lot of stress, are loved and their potential for self harm is minimized. In contrast, adults have had years for our bad habits to take affect on our circulation, breathing, nutrition, etc.
