Taking aspirin daily has little benefit for most healthy people and may contribute to a risk that goes up with age, US task force says
After years of recommending regular aspirin to prevent heart attack and stroke, scientists now see little benefit for most healthy people, and say it may contribute to a risk of bleeding in your stomach or brain that goes up as you get older.
The US Preventive Service Task Force has finalized its latest recommendations on low-dose aspirin regimens and now says people over 60 should not start taking a daily aspirin for primary prevention of heart problems, in most cases. If you are between 40 and 59 years old, the USPSTF leaves it up to you and your doctor to decide whether you should take a daily aspirin in specific circumstances.
"We always preach that DNA is not your destiny, meaning there are so many things we can do from a lifestyle perspective that can reduce chronic illness and your risk for a heart disease and stroke," Buchinsky said. He suggests a good diet with"real food" 90% of the time and 10%"fun food." Aim for at least 150 minutes of physical activity a week, get plenty of sleep and target stress. Don't smoke, and keep drinking to a minimum.
