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?
