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.

    I'm impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's equally educative and engaging, and let me
    tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which too
    few people are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I
    found this in my hunt for something relating to this.

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone
    and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so
    she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has
    83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it
    with someone!

    I think everything said made a ton of sense. But, what about this?
    what if you were to create a killer title? I mean, I don't want to tell
    you how to run your website, however suppose you added a headline that grabbed a person's attention? I
    mean IPS Matavén - Having more children could slow aging
    is kinda boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo's home page and watch how they
    create article headlines to get people interested.

    You might add a video or a picture or two to get people excited about everything've got to say.
    In my opinion, it might make your posts a little
    livelier.

    I am really loving the theme/design of your blog.
    Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems?

    A few of my blog visitors have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks
    great in Safari. Do you have any ideas to help fix
    this issue?
