FALSE - Daily aspirin for healthy people actually increases bleeding risk without clear heart attack prevention. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends against it for primary prevention in people over 60. Low-dose aspirin is reserved for those with existing heart disease. 2. TRUE - This is the standard range, though athletes may run lower (40-50 bpm is normal for them). Resting heart rate naturally increases with age. 3. FALSE - High cholesterol is a 'silent' condition with zero symptoms. You can have dangerously high cholesterol and feel perfectly fine. That's why screening matters, especially after 45.</p></td><td width="4%" style="vertical-align: top;"></td><td width="48%" style="vertical-align: top; padding-left: 12px; border-left: 1px solid #E5E7EB;"><p style="font-weight: 600; margin: 0 0 8px 0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, sans-serif;">Word of the Day</p><p style="font-size: 14px; color: #4B5563; margin: 0;"><strong>Fibrosis</strong>: Excessive scar tissue buildup in organs or tissues that hardens and reduces function — the scarring process regenerative medicine aims to reverse or prevent.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: center; padding: 20px 24px; margin-bottom: 16px; font-family: Helvetica, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;"><p style="font-size: 13px; color: #6B7280; margin: 0 0 6px 0;">Thanks for reading Issue #18.
