One of the most common reasons to take an aspirin is to avoid a heart attack. How aspirin works is it thins your blood which reduces blood clots, and can prevent a heart attack.
Doctors typically recommend adults start taking an aspirin a day at the age of 50 to protect you against a heart attack and stroke. Recent studies have hinted that aspirin could help reduce blood pressure as well as reduce the likelihood of a second stroke.

Scientists recently turned to aspirin for help in battling cancer, Daily Mail reports. It’s not fully understood yet; experts believe that aspirin may prevent platelets from protecting cancer cells in the body.
A recent study found that if you take an aspirin a day for ten years, it can cut your cancer risk. The research showed that not much cancer protection happens for the first five years of taking an aspirin a day, but after the five-year mark to the ten years, aspirin can protect you from a variety of cancers.
“It takes five years but the benefits are quite striking. A low dose of 75 mg of aspirin is something to consider for people in this age group, apart from those with bleeding risks. What’s needed is a change in mindset to recognise the benefits of aspirin in combating cancer.If you put all this together, then aspirin is the second most important thing in preventing cancer.”
Aspirin was found to be useful for women who were at high risk for a miscarriage. Many women have disorders such as Hughes syndrome, which causes them prone to clotting and make them prone to recurring pregnancy loss.
The typical treatment for recurring miscarriages is a daily dose of aspirin and blood-thinning heparin. Another reason for pregnancy loss is high blood pressure, Taking just one aspirin a day can reduce your blood pressure, and reduce your risk of losing the baby by a quarter.

The consumption of an aspirin a day doesn’t come without risk, either. Aspirin can cause internal bleeding, loss of eyesight, and life-threatening strokes. If you have Crohn’s disease, aspirin can be dangerous.
Before beginning an aspirin regime or any other medicine, please consult your doctor beforehand. Only your personal physician knows your history, and whether the medication is right for your condition.
Are you surprised that aspirin may be able to prevent you from cancer? Have you ever taken it for a migraine or other intense pain?
