Researchers suggest the number of children born to a woman influences the rate at which her body ages. Health sciences researchers found women who give birth to more surviving children exhibited longer telomeres. Telomeres are the protective tips at the end of each DNA strand and are indicative of cellular aging. Longer telomeres are integral to cell replication and associated with longevity. According to Nepomnaschy, the study findings contradicts life history theory which predicts that producing a higher number of offspring accelerates the pace of biological aging. "The slower pace of telomere shortening found in the study participants who have more children however, may be attributed to the dramatic increase in estrogen, a hormone produced during pregnancy," says Nepomnaschy who also spearheads the Maternal and Child Health Laboratory at the SFU Faculty of Health Sciences. "Estrogen functions as a potent antioxidant that protects cells against telomere shortening." The social environment that the study participants live in may also influence the relationship between their reproductive efforts and the pace of aging. "The women we followed over the course of the study were from natural fertility populations where mothers who bear numerous children receive more social support from their relatives and friends," explains Nepomnaschy. "Greater support leads to an increase in the amount of metabolic energy that can be allocated to tissue maintenance, thereby slowing down the process of aging." www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/01/160108083731.htm

not buying it just eating properly is the only medicine anybody needs but diet is contextual to your dietary history

One with kids and one without you would need quads to test it, because the two that ate junk, would age quicker regardless of kids or not

I would say it must be obvious. The more children you've got, the more strongest bodies your descendants will have. A pair of three of them is good. A brother, and a sister, or two brothers, or a sister, and two brothers. There are many combinations of brother-sister models.
Btw, does it matter on life age how many boys, or girls a women have?

I can see why this is true, the study that stuck for me regarding longevity of life, was one that said humans live longer because of one main reason: the meaningful connections we have with other people. And what is more meaningful then a relationship with your own children. www.inmandala.com/applied-philosophy

It's cheaper to just do a cycle of Epitalon and THYMALIN if you want to increase the length of your telomeres and not a single diper involved with this option too
