Reduce Risk of Sudden Death

just some good info for you guys to consider. I copied this from the site.

Reduce Risk of Sudden Death and Disability With Baby Aspirin

The most common cause of disability and death in the United States is an abnormal clot that develops inside an artery to cause a heart attack (blocked blood vessel in the heart), or a stroke (blocked blood vessel in the brain). Aspirin has an immediate and lasting effect on blood platelets, making them less likely to clump together and making blood flow smoothly. Taking a low-dose aspirin tablet (81 mg) each day has been shown to be beneficial in the prevention of heart attacks, strokes, and transient ischemic attacks (little strokes).

More than 50 randomized trials have documented the safety and effectiveness of aspirin as a cardiovascular drug.1 Low-dose aspirin is advised by legions of physicians as well as a 70-member panel convened by the American College of Chest Physicians, which recommended aspirin for all people over 50 with one risk factor and no conditions that make aspirin use inadvisable. This translates into the majority of people over 50, since risk factors for heart disease include male gender, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, cigarette smoking, lack of exercise, and family history of heart attack or stroke.2

In fact, aspirin is commonly considered a “miracle”drug and it is expected to have many undiscovered health benefits. A study done in 2003 in people with a high risk of dementia showed that a combination of aspirin and B-vitamins reduced the biochemical factors associated with cognitive impairment.3
Cardiovascular Health With Low Dose Aspirin

While there are many nutrients that can reduce the risk of an abnormal blood clot forming inside a blood vessel, it is still beneficial for most people to take aspirin in the low dose.

One of my customers, who is an MD of the Ob-Gyn variety, pointed out an interesting fact about low-dose aspirin therapy.
In men, low-dose aspirin therapy is more associated with reducing the incidence of MI's/Heart Attack's.
In women, low-dose aspirin therapy is more associated with reducing the incidence of stroke's/ CVI's.
Of course, exercise, diet, hydration, genetic factors among many, many possible factors can be contributing or preventative as well.

good to know. thanks!

i just stumbled on the article and found it helpful so I thought I would share it. Most people already know about it but maybe someone doesnt. I would be curious to know how many actually do take a low dose daily for healths sake.

Started taking the "baby" aspirin about 2 weeks ago. Heard good things and its an easy pill to add to my daily regimen of vitamins.

Started taking the 81 mg aspirin this morning and have run into a few posts regarding it
