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 there are using Wordpress for your site platform?

    I'm new to the blog world but I'm trying to get started and set
    up my own. Do you need any html coding knowledge to
    make your own blog? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site.
    It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times
    it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and appearance.

    I must say you've done a very good job with this. Additionally, the blog loads
    extremely quick for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!
