Disturbing blanket info, again!

I sure hope that we have all learned to take most what goes on on the net or even on in those magazine shows that should be taken with a grain of salt.
The latest "new" info is about mothers and childbirth.

"Giving Birth Later in Life Is a Sign of Longevity"

And the story goes on to say,
"Researchers at Boston University and Boston Medical Center studied women who lived to the age of 95 or older and compared them with 151 women who died at younger ages. What they found was interesting: Women who gave birth naturally (without fertility assistance, such as IVF) after the age of 33 were twice as likely to live to the age of 95. And women who gave birth after the age of 40 were four time as likely to live to the age of 100."

Now this sounds wonderful to all those women who have been delaying any baby interests until they have established themselves in any of their careers. No more of that their baby-making clock ticking those years away! Waiting is better and more beneficial for all!

No more fears of such chromosomal anomalies such as Downs or other possible genetic concerns due to modern medicine and even if anything does happen all is well these days! Genetically speaking, we are capable of handling everything and anything!

But the fact that it actually says that it will in fact cause the mother to live longer is a bit farfetched in my opinion, but I am no doctor.

I can only speak from my very personal own experience so here  I go... my own mother had me at age thirty-nine and my dad was forty-three, not that the father is in this equation for this longevity study. 

It is true I was a product of a second marriage, my mom was a divorcee and my dad was a widower, and it is true my mom had had my half brother when she was twenty and had been married too young to a philandering musician, she said, at only eighteen. I was twenty and seven and half months myself when we married and had our first son a month before my twenty-second birthday, and I was very young too, but with a different outcome relationship wise...a decent guy, and of course I  am still with him!

Any-who, back to when you have your baby or babies later in life increasing your life span, my mom died way too young in my mind,  at only seventy, a week before her seventy-first birthday! Dad died at age seventy-nine and than some...

So you can see why I disagree.

My  mom was born in 1911 and dad was born in 1907, and I always found it interesting that the famous actress Lucille Ball also was born in the year of 1911, same as my mom, and here is another interesting fact, both of her children Lucy and Desi Jr. were born while she was near forty and in her early forties! Her daughter is almost exactly a year younger than me.

 "In 1929, Ball landed work as a model and later began her performing career on Broadway using the stage name "Diane Belmont". She assumed many small movie roles in the 1930s as a contract player for RKO Radio Pictures. Ball was dubbed the "Queen of the Bs" (referring to her many roles in B-films). Ball met and eloped with Cuban bandleader Desi Arnaz in 1940. In 1951, Ball was instrumental in co-creating the television series I Love Lucy with her husband, Arnaz. On July 17, 1951, at almost 40 years of age, Ball gave birth to their first child, Lucie Désirée Arnaz.^[3] A year and a half later, she gave birth to their second child, Desiderio Alberto Arnaz IV, known as Desi Arnaz, Jr.^"

"Born	Lucille Désirée Ball August 6, 1911 Jamestown, New York, U.S.
Died	April 26, 1989 (aged 77) Beverly Hills, California, U.S."

^{I'm just saying... food for thought, ya know! As you can see neither Lucille Ball nor my Mom lived anywhere near ninety-five or one hundred! Readers beware!}

^{Sure my parents did not act their age, they acted much much younger and said it was due to me, and we all know that Lucy never acted old either... but even so it had no affect on their longevity having us kids in their older ages.}

^{But as far as living till an older age due to having your children later in life I'm not convinced that should be a criteria to consider, but you are free to do as you wish.}

^{Too many things go into it to consider all your heredity, lifestyle even if healthy, bicyclist have died, and walkers, joggers and physically fit people and so many accidents can still happen just so many things that cannot be controlled as well...life itself is a crap-shoot! Excuse the expression, and my cringe factor has definitely been alerted!}

^{Just have your children, because you want them and will love them and care for them and be there for them... you all know why we do...have them, had them...}

^{That's all!}

^{I can remember a weird comment from my uncle in-law, Hubby's Mother's brother when we announced to that side of the family that I was expecting,so very happily, and he said: "what's the big deal, any teenager can do that!"}

^{Is it any wonder we never became close? Bud dump bum...}

^{But sometimes too much planning is too much planning and fitting these tiny people into your schedule sounds way too cold...you fit into theirs...by the way...}

^{Reasons, there are many and timing, sometimes is not exact, but wonderful and always works out somehow!}

^{Anyhow, I can remember when I did a short stint in nursing school, they were teaching then that anything below a three hundred cholesterol was good in their nutrition class!}

^{My parents had died not too soon before and all they had was high cholesterol under three hundred if I recall... but neither that high! They were not obese, smokers, or ate anything but healthily, fruits and veggies and lean meats, etc... and yet they died...from strokes.}

^{I do believe that is the reason I quit that school, it was still too raw with my parents deaths and I think I argued that their information was inaccurate. Today, it is said to be best to be under a total cholesterol of two hundred, and below that is much better!}

^{Oh well...}

^{I did learn in that short time and did quite well with medical terminology where I did receive an "A"!}

^{This was after LIM, which was right after high school, and nursing school was as a mom in the late 1980's while in Florida on the other coast, since my Mom's DOD was 1982 and my Dad's DOD was 1986, get it? Too soon...then.}

^{Moving on...}

^{Raw nerves are touched by blatant studies that cause us who know of a different experience that not all you read is fact and reader beware is an absolute, even with so-called reputable studies. Think about how many recalls in automobiles in that industry and FDA mistakes have been made. People are fallible.}

^{Onward we go... and so I will close tonight with this can of worms opened for all to discuss... although, my compatriots are more than likely too old to consider this newest theory, but perhaps their offspring should openly discuss this... or even with your grandchildren...  if not too elderly, ha!}

^{Another opening for conversation that is either taboo or interesting.}

^{Love to all and to all a very good night!}
