health discussion 8

Discussion 

• Research your own personal family history for diseases. Outline your family history and see what major health risks run in your family
• How does it make you feel to know the additional risks?
• Were you able to identify possible factors related to your family members’ disease, such as smoking, lack of physical activity, and poor diet?
• If you had a choice to know more about your individual lifespan—which diseases they’d get or when they would die—would you want to know?
• If you are at a greater risk for cardiovascular disease, what might you do to overcome these odds?
