ALBAWABA - U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that he takes a daily aspirin regimen that surpasses his doctor's recommendations, as reported in a Reuters interview.
In a conversation with The Wall Street Journal, Trump explained that his choice stems from worries about blood circulation and cardiovascular well-being. "They say aspirin helps thin the blood, and I don’t want thick blood flowing through my heart," he was quoted as saying. "I want thin blood flowing through my heart."
At 79, Trump is the second-oldest president in American history. His age and health have become a focal point of public interest lately, fueled by reports of bruising on his hands, a precautionary MRI scan in October, and instances during public events where he seemed to momentarily close his eyes.
Medical advice referenced in the report suggests that individuals over 60 might benefit from daily aspirin, potentially lowering their chances of a heart attack or stroke. The Mayo Clinic recommends a standard low-dose aspirin, which is 81 milligrams.
Yet, Trump's physician, Sean Barbabella, informed the newspaper that the president's daily regimen includes 325 milligrams of aspirin, a preventative step against heart disease.
The White House has previously characterized the MRI as a standard, precautionary procedure, and attributed the bruising on Trump's hands to the frequent handshaking that comes with public appearances.
This information surfaces amidst continued examination of the president's health as he serves in office.
