Benefits of Caffeine and Aspirin

Benefits of Caffeine
Caffeine, which has its fair share of supporters as well as detractors, has benefits that considerably outweigh its oftentimes bad reputation. When taken or used in moderation, there are mild stimulating effects on both the cardiovascular system and digestive system, while providing a heightened sense of alertness and activity in the brain. Many people throughout the world use caffeine in moderation on a daily basis for its ability to increase mood and elevate mental alertness. The result is often enhanced production on the job and an increased ease in performing tasks requiring concentration. There is little debate that these effects are popular and do in fact have a positive impact in the lives of many people.

Benefits of Aspirin
Aspirin is perhaps one of the most widely used drugs in the world and has been in existence in some form or fashion since the 5th century. After early abandonment of production of the drug was revisited in the late 1890’s, the world was provided with what some people call a true wonder drug. Aspirin is best known to be an effective blood thinner. The thinning of the blood makes the blood less sticky and can seriously reduce the risk of both strokes and heart attacks. If a single aspirin is taken during or immediately after a stroke or heart attack, severity and permanent damaging effects can be greatly reduced. Aspirin is also widely accepted as having mild pain relieving properties. Studies have shown that aspirin has been recognized as having the ability to slow the progress of colon cancer and may even eliminate some other forms of cancer. An aspirin a day has also been linked to slowing such dementia as Alzheimer’s Disease.
