Scientists: Having children will live longer

British scientists have calculated and analyzed all possible ways prolong the life of man. About the study, which the British conducted together with colleagues from Harvard University, reports the Daily Mail.

In particular, it was revealed that there are key habits of a person and factors that may well add to his life span of 8-10 years.

This is proper nutrition, proper and adequate sleep, reduced alcohol intake. The study involved 660 volunteers, whose age at the time of the experiment exceeded 50 years.

After a series of laboratory tests, scientists confidently stated that the lifespan increases and having children. People who have a child live almost three years longer than those who did not give birth to children.

But it was not possible to find connections with large families - both those with one child and those who gave birth to three or more children have equal chance of extending your life, that is, the "increase" does not depend on the number of children.
