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.

    Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot
    of spam responses? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?
    I get so much lately it's driving me crazy so any support is very much
    appreciated. https://Xxxadultfind.com/index.php/User:AgustinO42

    I typically stumble upon content along these lines at quite possibly the most impossible moments.

    For example at this time, I had been seeking something on an altogether different subject and I came across this website instead.

    I routinely pass time examining the web for content, but yet generally I wish to be outdoors, backpacking in the local forest.
    You'll find nothing like fresh air to make you
    feel rejuvenated. This is while i am not doing work as an in home
    massages therapist. It occupies most of my precious
    time.

    I actually often stumble upon weblogs such as this at quite possibly the most improbable instances.
    For example presently, I had been hoping to discover something on an entirely different concern and I discovered this
    site in its place. I normally prefer hunting the world
    wide web for articles, but typically I like to be outdoors, camping in the neighborhood woodlands.
    Nothing is similar to outdoors to make you feel revitalized.
    That is whenever i am not working hard as an in-home massage therapist.
    That occupies much of my personal precious time.
