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! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with
    hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform.

    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    the game shortly, and will most almost certainly search for
    a far better option.

    Persons right this moment have a need to study further pertaining to a lot of these topics, even though there will never ever quite

    time is remaining to expend to getting to know these particular most significant theories?
    As an individual applying perinatal masage therapy, coupled with making websites and working
    with many nodes, time is definitely a commodity i will never possess

    understand this powerful issue more honestly.
    Thanks to you for dispensing this unique very important source.
