A recent research conducted on about 1.5 million people, revealed that having two children reduces health risks like getting afflicted with cancer and heart disease for the parents.

The couples who are without kid or just have one kid are more prone to death from a variety of conditions studied for the reason that they are less keen on maintaining their health as compared to the ones who had two children. Parents, having large number of children, have a higher chance of suffering from diseases, as they have to take care of all of their children.

Women suffered mainly due to accidents and heart and circulatory disease and men may suffer from lung and respiratory problems.

If a woman delivered a good number of babies, then she is less likely to suffer from breast cancer.

Researcher Luis Angeles is of the opinion that the being committed to marriage brings with it the readiness to have children. Only then parenthood is benefitting when conditions were right.

About 90,000 British mothers and fathers were asked about their circumstances and the kind of happiness and satisfaction they derive out of their family life.

The results showed that marriages become happier with the arrival of a baby.
