I was a flight instructor in my 30's. A flying student, a bit younger, was a Medical Doctor who was learning to fly so he would be able to pilot himself around Costa Rica on a project for Fed gov to aid them in setting up emergency medical clinics across their country. He asked me my family's medical history, A stroke and heart disease were on the list. He advised me to take a full-strength coated aspirin ever day beginning at age 40. I'm 36 years into that project, and it helped me through a minor heart attack/stent event 8 years ago. My blood still clots fine - I'm thinking excessive clotting is not rare - you hear of so very many stroke victims.
Finally, an Alte piece that is actually about aging. Thanks!
Yup
