How come many mothers of large families, actually tend to be beautiful or seemingly "glowing" almost?

At 84, she had a figure that was better than most of her daughters. No bulges, no sagging. No cane, no hobbling as she walked across the room, no dentures. One of her kids said she watches what she eats, exercises and is in church several times a week.
She has the right formula and multiple child births has not has not worked against her. |
Yeah, I wish more people would point that out, that so many people for whatever reasons, choose to let their families grow more naturally or fail to ever get around to selecting a "satisfactory" means of "birth control," and contrary to the myth, it doesn't "wear out" their bodies, as a natural function of human life is to create more human life.
The natural function of the human reproductive system, is of course
reproduction, which it should be welcome to do naturally, without contraceptive potions and poisons, without supposedly more natural rhythm, just pushing out babies just as fast as the body is able or tries to make them, the natural flow of human life unhindered.
I think large families are quite cool, and represent hope for the future, investment into the future, and a profound respect for the ways of nature or simplisticity, at least in the realm most likely to benefit humans. Besides when families get "that big," that's yet another reason to shun "birth control," as they are already seemingly beyond the "point of no return," "the horse has already escaped the barn," or whatever metaphor best fits welcoming the natural growth of large families or spreading or persisting baby booms.
