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.

    Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you're using?

    I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a
    difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most
    blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    Incredible! This blog looks just like my old one! It's on a completely different topic but it
    has pretty much the same layout and design. Excellent choice of
    colors!

    I am curious to find out what blog system you're
    working with? I'm experiencing some minor security
    problems with my latest website and I would like to find something more safe.
    Do you have any suggestions?
