We literally have aspirin today because people in 400 BC were using bark and leaves from willow trees to cure headaches. If you saw someone doing that now you'd surely unknowingly call them crazy but we now derive the same exact active ingredient for 99% of the world's aspirin (“Breaking news: the internet causes autism”).I believe that aspirin is the best invention ever made. Aspirin has been in the world for thousands of years and has helped cure headaches, is good for the heart, and can help with most pains that you have in your body.
To begin, aspirin is the best invention of all time because it helps cure headaches. Everyone has headaches. As told by Mary Bellis, asprin or acetylsalicylic acid is a derivative of salicylic acid that is a mild, nonnarcotic analgesic useful in the relief of a headache (“History of Aspirin”). If you have ever experienced a headache, aspirin can quickly get rid of it.
Secondly, aspirin is good for your heart and can help prevent heart attacks. Anyone can have a heart attack so why not take asprin so you could have less possibilities of having one. As stated by Julia Layton aspirin prevents heart attacks by keeping these blood clots from forming. (“Why is aspirin good for your heart”).That is a reason why it would help everyone in the world.
Thirdly, aspirin cures many things like body pain. It can be used for arthritis pains and is very helpful. Also if you have a pain in your body like your back or joints, aspirin can relieve the pain for hours. Lansing State Journal states that aspirin inhibits the release of prostaglandins and thus interferes with the message of pain (“How does aspirin relieve pain”). Everyone in the world takes it including athletes and celebrities.
On the other hand, people who oppose the use of aspirin might argue that aspirin could be misused. Rarely has a person overdosed on aspirin. Aspirin is very safe to use. Taking Tylenol leads to a risk of liver failure and puts more people in the hospital every year more than aspirin ("Most Popular painkiller is lead cause of acute liver failure").
In conclusion, many don’t want to take aspirin but it’s the safest way of curing pain. While doing that you are also having a less possibility of getting of having a heat attack. In my opinion, I would take aspirin instead of any other medicine because it’s the safest and healthiest for my body.
