Healthy people are again being advised not to take daily aspirin to help to prevent heart attack or stroke, because of the increased risk of bleeding

The Telegraph reports that healthy people are again being advised not to take daily aspirin to help to prevent heart attack or stroke. The increased risk of potentially deadly stomach bleeding because of taking aspirin greatly outweighs any benefit the aspirin might confer.

An excellent, completely safe way to lower the risk of heart attack or stroke is to cut down on salt and salty food. Pharmaceutical drugs always carry risks of adverse side-effects, which, as in the case of stomach bleeding, can sometimes cause death. "The known deadly side-effects of prescription drugs are the fourth leading cause of death in the industrialized world" (see article about the Pharmaceutical Business) so it's obviously safer to avoid potentially harmful pharmaceutical drugs if you can, especially if there is a good, drug-free therapy. Cutting down on salt/sodium benefits your health in a multitude of ways.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, stroke, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs, hunger or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
