Brainstorm reasons for and against taking a daily low-dose aspirin.
According to Berkeley Wellness, there���s evidence that a daily aspirin ���protects people already diagnosed with cardiovascular disease (CVD).��� However, there is insufficient evidence that a daily low-dose aspirin is as effective for primary prevention; it is not as necessarily effective for people who have ���not been diagnosed with CVD.��� Additionally, high BMI may also alter the way aspirin is metabolized, further complicating the data. Finally, there���s evidence that suddenly stopping aspirin can actually increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Thus, not everyone should be taking a daily low-dose aspirin - consult your doctor!
