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 think that everything typed was actually very logical.
    But, think on this, what if you were to write a killer headline?

    I am not saying your information is not solid, however suppose you added a
    post title that makes people desire more? I mean IPS Matavén - Having more children could slow aging is a little plain. You might look at Yahoo's home page and see how they create news titles to get people to click.
    You might add a video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about everything've
    written. Just my opinion, it might bring your posts
    a little bit more interesting.

    blog loading? I'm trying to figure out if its a problem on my end
    or if it's the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility
    issues. When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
    it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, awesome blog!

    very logical. However, what about this? suppose you were
    to create a killer post title? I ain't suggesting your content isn't solid., however suppose you added a post
    title that makes people want more? I mean IPS Matavén - Having more children could slow aging is a little
    boring. You ought to glance at Yahoo's front
    page and watch how they create article titles to grab people to click.
    You might add a video or a picture or two to get people interested about what you've written. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more interesting.
