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.

    And those are American dollars, not the coins with an image of a duck on them.
    Or they'd visit the temples and other holy places and get
    their taste of culture and religion, however the adrenalin rush was never in the
    picture. In retrospect, the smarter money, and much less of it, would have gone to signing Brown for a 3-yr contract, but who could have
    predicted that a 33-yr-previous fastballer would get injured?
    Whether or not you wish to adhere to this tradition or not, it is a good suggestion to take a look at the native market
    and get just a few staples. So someplace, Steve Young
    is shining his three Super Bowl rings (he backed up quarterback Joe Montana for
    his other two) and amassing a fat annual verify for
    the three forgettable (but not regrettable) years he spent in Los Angeles.
    After filing a report accusing another officer of excessive and unnecessary force during an arrest,
    Christopher Dorner was let go from the Los Angeles
    Police Division in 2008. Feeling his termination was unjust, Dorner made an attraction however the appeals court docket concluded that the LAPD Board of Rights
    had substantial proof for its conclusion that Dorner was not credible in his allegations towards the officer.
