Aspirin for Your Heart? Not So Fast…

For what seems like years, the mainstream has pounded us with that idea that taking a daily aspirin can shield you against heart attack or stroke.
So, it’s not shocking that nearly 29 MILLION Americans – many of them seniors – take a low-dose aspirin every day in hopes of preventing a serious cardiac issue.
But while daily aspirin may be knowns for heart health… a shocking new research study has found that taking a daily aspirin may be DESTROYING it!
If you’re currently taking a daily aspirin for your heart (or have been told you should), you’re going to want to keep reading…
According to new findings from a broad, international research study, taking daily aspirin is now associated with an INCREASED risk of new heart failure!
Isn’t that the very thing we’ve been told for years that aspirin was supposed to prevent?!
The study leaders found that among more than 30,000 patients who were at risk for developing heart failure, the risk for those taking daily aspirin was 26% HIGHER than those not on a daily aspirin regimen.
YIKES!
But unfortunately, this latest finding on the so-called ‘benefits’ of daily aspirin isn’t new.
In early November, we reported that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) – an independent panel composed of experts in disease prevention and evidence-based medicine – said that if you DON’T have a history of heart attack or stroke, you SHOULD NOT be taking daily aspirin just because your reach a certain age.

In a nutshell, the risks of taking a daily aspirin far outweigh any benefits!
For example, according to the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, aspirin for older adults with low risk (and no prior history of heart attack or stroke) are at a greater risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Another study suggests taking aspirin daily may promote cancer progression and lead to early DEATH among older adults.
Researchers say aspirin is associated with a 19% higher risk of being diagnosed with cancers that spread. There’s also a 22% higher risk of doctors finding an advanced cancer.
So, what does this all mean for you? Especially if you’re been taking a daily aspirin for your heart?
The good news is that there are plenty of heart-healthy supplements out there you can take that are amazing preventatives for heart issues that carry none of the side effects of aspirin.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) packs a wallop of heart-healthy benefits. Research has shown that CoQ10 has significant benefits for people with cardiovascular disease including a reduced risk for repeat heart attacks and lowering blood pressure.
Remember, if you are on a daily aspirin regimen, be sure to have a conversation with your doctor or cardiologist first.
