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.

    Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use
    WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to
    get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would
    be greatly appreciated!

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something
    that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and
    extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your
    next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

    Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against
    hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard
    on. Any recommendations?

    Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they
    plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out
    the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal.
    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

    I'm not sure exactly why but this blog is loading extremely slow for me.
    Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end?
    I'll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
