737 FMC "descend now"

I recently flew with a captain who criticised me for using the "descend now" function in the FMC (737-800). She argued that it increases wear on the engine as it gets two cool dows - one when you execute descend now and one when it goes to retard.

I have never heard this before. Does anyone else have a take on it?

Cheers
