Study found genetic variants mean in women who give birth after the age of 33 live longer: Remaining fertile later in life is linked to a slower ageing process

It could be true................

A new study has found women who give birth naturally later in life are more likely to live longer

Women who give birth later in life live longer and as a could provide an insight into slowing the ageing process, scientists have said.result Genetic variants that mean women remain fertile for longer may be the key, researchers said today.

The study found women who had their last child after the age of 33 were twice as likely to celebrate their 95th birthday, compared to those who gave birth for the last time by 29.

Lead researcher Dr Thomas Perls, from Boston University Medical Center in the US, said the findings do not mean women should delay having children.

He said: 'Of course this does not mean women should wait to have children at older ages in order to improve their own chances of living longer.

Can healthy dose of sunshine reduce your blood pressure? Study finds link between low levels of vitamin D and hypertension

Antihypertensive drugs have common side effects such as coughing, dizziness, facial flushing and constipation, experts believe some people might benefit from vitamin D supplements instead

Getting some sun on your skin not only improves your mood but could also reduce your blood pressure, say experts.

A study found a strong link between low levels of vitamin D, absorbed by the body from sunlight, and higher levels of blood pressure.

Researchers believe it is the first study of its kind to suggest that taking vitamin D supplements could be an alternative to drugs for tacking high blood pressure in some patients. 

Around 30 per cent of people in England have high blood pressure, known as hypertension, which is the single most important risk factor for early death.

Going on fruit and vegetables is the key to preventing chronic diseases like diabetes and asthma

Eating plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains helps prevent people from developing more than one chronic disease, new medical research shows.

The world-first research conducted by the University of Adelaide examined the link between diet and 11 chronic diseases, including anemia, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, arthritis, hepatitis, coronary heart disease, asthma, stroke, fracture and cancer.

It found that people who eat a higher amount of fruit are less likely to develop any chronic disease, while a high intake of vegetables helps prevent people with one chronic disease from developing a second.

People who eat a higher amount of fruit are less likely to develop any chronic disease, new research from the University of Adelaide shows

The study, done in conjunction with universities and health organisations in China and Canada, is published in the Clinical Nutrition journal.

While links between good diet and disease prevention are well established, this is the first study that had linked poor nutrition to the development of multiple chronic diseases, otherwise known as 'multimorbidity'.

The researchers studied more than 1000 Chinese people over a five-year period.

Women who have four or more children have double the risk of heart disease

Large families: Pregnancy itself can place more strain on the cardiovascular system

Giving birth to four or more children can double a woman's risk of heart disease, research has found.
Once a woman has given birth three times, the more pregnancies she then undergoes, the higher the risk of thickening arteries  - which can lead to a heart attack. 
Aspects of pregnancy have previously been linked to heart disease, so researchers set out to determine whether the number of live births is associated with early signs of cardiovascular disease.
Being pregnant sparks a cascade of changes that can place more strain on a woman’s cardiovascular system.
For example, the volume of blood being pumped through the heart increases by 50 per cent.

Big boys don’t cry BUT deep down they’re more emotional than women, ACCORDING TO NEW STUDY

They like to show a hard exterior but that emotion is just waiting to come out

He might like you to believe he's as hard as nails, but don’t be fooled by your man’s tough exterior.

Enlightening new research has found that men are in fact more emotional than women.

The experiment found that when men and women watched the same heart-warming videos, it was the men who experienced stronger physiological reactions.

But true to type, when asked about their emotions, the women admitted feeling more emotional than the men did.

The research which was carried out by psychology research institute, Mindlab, and commissioned by the Royal Mail, dispels the myth that men don’t experience the same range of feelings as women.

Watching TV 'has no benefits for toddlers': Children who spend longer in front of the screen 'perform worse academically'

Toddlers who watch lots of TV do worse at school – and even sets left on in the background can be harmful, a leading expert has warned.

Lynne Murray, a professor of developmental psychology, said that two large-scale reviews from the US made it ‘absolutely clear’ that watching television has no benefits for under-twos.
And if you look at the research in detail, children who spend a lot of time in front of the screen have poorer vocabulary and do worse academically – even when other factors such as socio-economic class and parenting are taken into account.

Warning: Leading expert Lynne Murray has warned that toddlers who watch lots of TV do worse at school and even sets left on in the background can be harmful

In her new book, the Psychology of Babies, Professor Murray said that the respected American Academy of Pediatrics advises against under-twos watching TV at all.
Not only are loud, fast-moving programmes difficult for the young mind to follow, they can disrupt play and prevent children interacting with siblings and parents.
