Should You Take Aspirin Every Day? Here ’s What the Science Says
Aspirin is best known as an over-the-counter painkiller. But acetylsalicylic acid, as it’s called chemically, has many other health benefits, as well as side effects, in the body that have only become clear in recent years. Here’s what the latest science says about the health benefits and side effects of aspirin, as well as which conditions it may treat and those it doesn’t appear to improve.

Three years ago, the World Health Organization declared red meat such as beef, lamb and pork to be carcinogenic when eaten in processed forms, including sausages, bacon and beef jerky. Health officials have also declared that unprocessed red meat like steak and burgers are “probably” carcinog...

Publication date: November 2018Source: Canadian Journal of Cardiology, Volume 34, Issue 11Author(s): Douglas Wan, Jeff S. Healey, Chris S. SimpsonAbstractAtrial fibrillation has a high disease burden—both in prevalence and associated consequences. Despite anticoagulation being an effective treatment in atrial fibrillation, stroke prevention is slow to reflect evidence-based practice.

A large part of this suboptimal treatment is due to the underutilization of direct oral anticoagulan...

Is Working Remotely Bad for Your Health?
Imagine rolling out of bed in the morning and, rather than racing to get out the door and into morning traffic, you could go for a run or make yourself breakfast.
