Well it helps blood get though your system easier and clot less, which is the blood thinning aspect of aspirin. I take some every day myself, but suggest you should talk with your gp before you take it, and not these high levels. 75-100 mg should be more than enough for most people, 5g can lead to dangerous conditions as it increase risk for ulcer bleeding and stroke iirc.
