Aspirin Use

According to decades of research, it has been said that, people, especially women who take low doses of aspirin daily had a reduced death rate, especially from heart disease. I recently read an article about this, and although I had heard this before, I never really knew much about it. Although there are health benefits to taking aspirin, it has been suggested that there are some women who benefit from taking it daily more than others, specifically for older women who have a risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. If you are interested in learning more about this, there is a lot of information that can be found online at http://www.healthday.com/. And, since aspirin does have side effects, it is something that has to be individualized for each person considering it.
