Having a BABY after 35 makes WOMEN more...

Gourmandize

Intelligent! Yes, a study has found that women who have children past age of 35 have much more active brains and were "mentally sharper" than others.

The study was published in the "Journal of the American Geriatrics Society," and conducted by researchers from the University of Southern California, who have examined the brains of 830 middle-aged mothers.

According to their results, a "late" pregnancy has a direct influence on the brain of the mother, particularly because of the influx of hormones during this period.

On the other hand, the same study found that women who had their first baby after 24 were better at problem-solving.

What do you think of this study? Do you think having children (or not) improves your memory?
