Aspirin is used primarily as pain and anti inflammatory mediators.
Recent reviews by the AHA ( American Health Association ) is reassessing the use of aspirin as a preventative measure to minimum the risk of a CVD ( cardiovascular disease ) in persons older that 60 years of age.
The long term use of low dose aspirin may give the user an increase risk of blood clotting and lead to someone getting a CVD. Which is exactly the opposite of what your trying to do!!
It has been found that long term use as a prophylactic can cause gastrointestinal bleeding which as lead to the increase formation of clots in the blood.
Aspirin, still has benefits as a pain and anti inflammatory reducer but may not be as beneficial for reducing your risk for a heart related aliment.
If someone wants to reduce their risk for a CVD. Is to eat a balanced diet consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meats. reduce alcohol intake and take nutritional supplements such as, Vitamin A,C,E, zinc, selenium, omega 3 fat acids.and drink plenty of water, at least 1/2 your body in fl ozs/day.
Above all, EXERCISE. Fitness is the key to longevity. Make it a part of your life.
