It is advised that you write down the names of your closest blood relatives who have had health problems. <strong>Ask about chronic diseases, which family members were diagnosed, and what the outcome was<\/strong>. Record this information and be sure to update it every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to know which conditions run in the family in order for you to take preventative steps to ensure a healthy future.
