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 know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog
    and was curious what all is needed to get setup?
    I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% positive.
    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of unique content I've either authored myself or
    outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all
    over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd certainly appreciate
    it.
