CREEPY "alternate narrative" ...
Recent articles published by LiveScience.com (Pregnancy may speed up 'biological aging,' study suggests) and NationalGeographic.com: (Just one pregnancy can add months to your biological age) appeared... without reflecting the "reverse process" found in the research above... namely...
But blood samples from 68 participants, collected 3 months after giving birth, revealed a dramatic about-face. Although being pregnant had initially aged their cells between 1 and 2 years, O’Donnell says, their biological age now appeared to be 3 to 8 years younger than it had been during early pregnancy—with different epigenetic clocks algorithms providing slightly bigger or smaller estimates. The effect appeared to be slightly muted in people who had a higher body weight prior to pregnancy, whereas it was enhanced in women who reported exclusively breastfeeding.
