Having more children could slow aging

In the journal PLOS One, researchers reveal that women who had more children had longer telomeres than women who had fewer children.

Telomeres are caps at the end of each DNA strand that protect our chromosomes - thread-like structures that contain all our genetic information - from damage.

Each time a cell replicates, telomeres become shorter. They eventually become so short that they stop protecting chromosomes, leaving them vulnerable to damage, which in turn causes our cells to age and stop functioning effectively.

Previously, animal studies have supported the "life history theory," suggesting that higher reproductive behavior is associated with accelerated biological aging.

However, this latest study, led by Prof. Pablo Nepomnaschy and Cindy Barha - both of Simon Fraser University in Canada - contradicts this theory.

    Thailand Thailand has long been a favorite with backpackers; it is hardly
    stunning given its beautiful beaches, epic events and enchanting culture.
    The Indian Culture Tourism is bestowed with the range that appeals the
    travelers who visit India. Now, coming to the males, who says a man can't sport jewellery?

    Learn more about airline disasters in "Bracing for Impact: True Tales of Air Disasters and the People who Survived Them" by Robin Suerig Holleran. There's also a rare, but even more disturbing, situation, in which a suicidal pilot decides to
    take his life and those of his crew and passengers by intentionally crashing
    the aircraft. One recent instance of a crash attributed to mistakes within the cockpit
    was Asiana Airlines Flight 214, which struck a seawall at San Francisco
    Worldwide Airport in 2013, causing the deaths of three passengers and numerous
    accidents to passengers and crew members. Flawed selections, akin to
    making an method to the airport from too high an altitude, accounted for 23.3 percent.
