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.

    The circular movement of the crank makes the claw lift up and out to return out of a sprocket gap after which down and
    in to catch onto another sprocket gap. Aperture gates are available a wide range of sizes that correspond to the
    display screen format of the film. The vitascope labored like a basic kinetoscope with
    one important distinction: The picture was projected
    onto a big screen in a room instead of a small one in a sales space.

    The platter consists of two to 4 large discs, about four or 5 feet in diameter, stacked vertically 1
    to 2 toes apart. Within the early days, movies had been shown with two projectors.
    Some of the earliest projectors to point out moving images were merely modified zoetropes.
    Two good examples of undesirable photographs can be the sprocket holes and
    audio data along the sides of the film. Relying on the projector's configuration and
    the sound format used, the movie will pass by an optical audio decoder
    mounted earlier than or after the lens assembly.

    Because the film leaves the projector (or the digital-audio
    decoder), it is carried on a sequence of rollers back to the platter's payout assembly and spooled to a take-up platter.
