Recent research suggests that coffee offers more health benefits than risks for most people. However, women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant and women over 65 should probably limit their coffee intake because for them, the risks may outweigh the benefits.
The recommendations in September 2015 from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent group of medical experts, state that people between the ages of 50 and 59 years who are at an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, and who are not at an increased risk of bleeding, should take 81 mg of aspirin daily (which is typical dosage of “baby” or low-dose aspirin).
Patients who received colonoscopies and had noncancerous or pre-cancerous growths (polyps) removed, were half as likely to die from colon cancer.
Often called a “wonder drug,” aspirin reduces aches and pains, fever, and swelling, and lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke. But few of us ever imagined that it might also lower our chances of developing several types of cancer, and help keep cancer from spreading.
Evidence is growing about the many ways in which eating nuts, seeds, and legumes can improve your health. These foods have been linked to healthier hearts and a lower risk of diabetes, but now studies show they may also cut your risk of getting cancer! Here’s what we know and don’t know.
New research shows that eating red meat and processed meat increases the risk of colon cancer or of dying from colon cancer.
