Good Health Tip From Newsweek; Find your family medical history
Newsweek has a quick tip that makes so much sense that we are running it verbatim with a strong suggestion that you print it out and write "to-do" across the top.
Your family medical history is an important part of your overall health profile. So, grab a pencil and paper and create your own "tree of life." A medical family tree, with important health information recorded below each relative's name, is a tool that may help you and your kids live longer and better. Armed with this data, doctors are better equipped to diagnose health problems, decide what medical tests to run and calculate your risk of developing certain diseases. Some key questions to ask: How old were family members when diagnosed with heart disease, stroke, cancer, depression, diabetes, Alzheimer's, deafness or other conditions? And what is known about any birth defects, learning disabilities or mental retardation among relatives?
Look below for the "printer-friendly version".
