Aging women benefit from aspirin

Posted on Mar 27th 2007 3:06PM by Rigel Celeste
Aspirin has been on the good side of the news before, mostly for helping people recover and reduce the risk of a recurrence after strokes and heart attacks. But this new data suggests it might be a good idea for healthy aging people, women particularly, also to ask their doctors about taking a low-dose aspirin. It just may help them stay healthier longer.

But don't start popping aspirins like little life-saving M&Ms -- too much of its "good thing" can cause ulcers and bleeding (and as with any medication, it may interact negatively with other prescriptions you take). Then on the bright side again, it is one of the most inexpensive medications out there (and these days that's special!).
