Aspirin: Tiny but Mighty

Aspirin’s small but packs a punch for your heart. The AHA says a low dose (75-100mg daily) thins blood, cutting clot risk post-heart event by 20%. It stops platelets sticking—think fewer blockages. Your doc decides if it fits (ulcers or bleeding risks might say no). Take with food to ease stomach gripes; don’t stop without advice. Studies show it’s a secondary prevention star—years of life gained. Pair with exercise and fish oil for extra oomph. Tiny pill, big win—your heart’s flowing freer!
