Ladies who started their period at age 12or older are more likely to live up to 90 years old! A group of researchers from theUniversity of  California San Diego School of Medicine did a recent survey by tracking over 15,000 women- who started their periods after age 12 and experienced menopause at fifty (50) years- for twenty one years and found out they were more likely to live till age 90 Although, varying from a person to the other, an average girl will start her first period around age 12 with normal puberty in girls set from age 8-13. In recent times, girls who see their first period around age 14 are seen as late bloomers!! The study also revealed that the late bloomers will most likely never have diabetes and coronary heart disease and will most likely not be smokers.

The new study basically sums up the fact that 'late bloomers' will live a longer life compared to an early bloomer! The former will definitely lay claim to this if they led a healthy lifestyle, no?
