Why Many People May Not Need Aspirin Today
The FDA approved low-dose aspirin in 1998 to prevent platelet clumping in high-risk heart patients. Recent studies show that aspirin may not be needed to reduce heart attack/stroke risk in today’s healthier American population groups. Low-risk adults who control their vascular risk factors may no longer need the anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory effects of daily low-dose aspirin.

Reduce Your Risk of Arterial Stiffness
Arterial stiffness occurs when arteries lose youthful suppleness. This loss of arterial elasticity is a powerful predictor of mortality. Human studies show that vitamins D and K inhibit arterial calcification and stiffening.
