Wondering whether it would do you good to pop a daily aspirin for heart health? The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force now recommends a daily aspirin for men between the ages of 45 and 79 and women between 55 and 79. (ADA recommends an aspirin a day for people with diabetes 40 and over.) Check with your doctor to ensure that aspirin’s benefits would outweigh its potential side effects.
