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'm impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both equally educative and engaging,
    and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the
    head. The problem is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i'm very happy that I came across this during my search for something regarding this.

    Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll
    just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the
    whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for newbie
    blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
