We are all relatively healthy and at a healthy weight. My father is the only member in my family that really has any health problems - He has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. He has these things because of his diet and lack of an exercise routine. Although, he is starting to walk each night and eat healthier. 
Our family history isn't something we talk a lot as a family. I know my grandfather had prostate cancer (but I obviously don't have a risk for this, as I am female). My other grandfather died from a massive heart attack, but with a good diet and exercise routine (and a healthy heart!) I believe that cardiac care depends a lot on diet and exercise. One thing in my family history that does scare me is Alzheimer's Disease. My great grandfather had it and now my grandmother has dementia, with Alzheimer's coming next. I am scared for my risk of this disease, so I do my best to do puzzles and certain games to keep my mind working. ]]> 2016-09-12 16:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206404 taylorjhanson https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206772 My genetic predisposition isn't very risky. As I said before in my family history, my grandfather had prostate cancer, but I am not at risk for this because I am female. I am worried about my father, uncles, and brothers getting this too - but so far, the signs are looking good. Other than that, my family is in very good health. My grandmother even lived until 100 years old! My father has a bit of high blood pressure and cholesterol, but that comes from his diet and exercise. My mother, who eats healthy and exercises regularly like me, is in extremely good health! The only other disease that I am worried about in within my heredity would be Alzheimer's Disease. My grandmother has the beginning stages and we have seen some decline in her memory, so that's scary for us as a family. I have actively been trying to keep my mind working as much as possible in order to keep it in good health. ]]> 2016-09-12 16:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206772 taylorjhanson https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206881 2016-09-12 16:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206881 taylorjhanson https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206898 2016-09-12 16:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206898 taylorjhanson https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206917 2016-09-12 16:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206917 taylorjhanson https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206945 2016-09-12 16:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123206945 taylorjhanson https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123208555 My protective factors (health-promoting and life-style factors) that will keep me healthy are very important to me. I workout 4-5 times for about an hour or more a day. I try to eat as healthy as I can by eating many vegetables, fruits, protein, and whole wheat grains. I try to keep my body as physically well as I can :) Also, I think psychological health is important as a protective factor, and I feel as though I never let stress get the best of me.]]> 2016-09-12 16:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123208555 taylorjhanson https://padlet.com/taylorjhanson/q85a20ju8x/wish/123209983 According to the website http://www.yourdiseaserisk.wustl.edu/, I tested my disease risk for heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and stroke. I chose these because I have heard my parents talk about each of these, so I thought I might have a family history or risk - but for all, I had a relatively low risk. I believe I have a low risk because of the lifestyle I choose to live.
