HAVE TWO KIDS

A longitudinal study done by researchers from SFU and UBC found that the number of children a woman has could slow the rate at which her body ages; researchers also suggest that women are likely to get more social support from family and friends when they have more children, increasing their metabolic energy and using it to maintain the body. But though that may seem like you should keep poppin’ out those babies, the damage of the financial stress of more than two kids quickly outweighs the benefits.—
