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.

    Voidbeast for Beginners: Become Your Best Planet-Devouring Self, Today!

    After which certainly one of the massive issues we did not discuss a lot as we speak - the game DVR functionality,
    having the ability to seize your magical moments in the game, save them in the cloud and share them with your
    mates. I feel that in case you are at the main edge of
    expertise in the home then you want the power of Skype working along with your Tv
    and with your recreation experience seamlessly, and being ready to modify easily between them - you saw within the presentation the velocity at which we can move between functions
    is incredible, and that is that this multi working system working without delay, which is form of
    a core worth and means of Microsoft. The Second Quest is
    unlocked by beating the sport once, and it options stronger enemies and completely different dungeons.
    However the fans are all eager to observe their game live

    up the ability to put a spotlight on the merchandise that we
    expect are going to be exciting to our consumer base, but along with that, what your folks are taking part in,
    what different folks think is sizzling in your space, your nation, your continent, will propagate up essentially the most fascinating and thrilling
    video games. The bits which might be on the disc,
    I may give to anybody else, but when we each wish to
    play it at the same time, we both need to personal it.
    Previously we had retail video games which came on disc, we had Xbox Live Arcade and we had Indie Games, and they'd
    their very own discrete channels or discrete silos.

    First off I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question in which I'd
    like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
    I've had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
    I truly do enjoy writing however it just
    seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
    Thank you!

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this,
    like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a
    few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog.
    A fantastic read. I'll certainly be back.
