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.

    though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre
    talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read? https://demo.qkseo.in/profile.php?id=293243

    This excellent blog website is attention-grabbing. Subject matter including
    this are basically forgotten, if perhaps truth of the matter be
    told. At times the very best of the Web is just
    not the very most publicly commercialized website content,
    but rather everything other than them, the forgotten masses with web logs that are essentially much more
    desirable when compared with those of significant influencers.
    This is such a blog site. My spouse and I will deliver ideas, in fact every time not
    prompted to do so. First of all is, keep writing.
    Secondary is, maintain composing habitually. Lastly is,
    start using your individual web log to establish your individualized
    approach. I am not a blog owner I guess; I am in reality a Perinatal Massage Therapist.
    I apply Postpartum Massage Therapy, enabling women of all ages to restore soon after having
    a newborn. It's satisfying work. That is precisely what I dedicate almost
    all of my energy performing, but yet I have as well treasured posting from the
    period I was a teen. I check out numerous books and every year or so I browse a stack far taller compared with me personally.
    haha In the upcoming four seasons, it could be I might get determined with regards to running a blog.

    The issue is, it cannot basically an image; the work of creating and establishing on a regular basis can make a blog
    site build in some amount of time.

    Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this blog.
    It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's difficult to
    get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance.
    I must say you have done a fantastic job with this.
    Also, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Chrome.

    Exceptional Blog!
