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.

    Inspect for how long the advisor has been in business and his way of operating.

    Every investor will achieve better long-term risk-adjusted results by working
    with a true open architecture advisor. Search for
    what field the mutual fund distributor was working in and
    what knowledge he/she and the team have. Whether a mutual fund distributor is being honest with you or not, this
    is the crucial criterion to check for.
