Rovenia Brock Family Quotations

The older relatives in your family hold the keys to the information you're looking for, so it's important to be sure you learn as much as you can from them before they're gone. But remember, medical conditions were often a source of shame to older relatives in certain ethnic and racial groups, so it may take some cajoling to get them to open up and share what they see as family secrets.

You can't change your genes, but you can change your lifestyle and, in turn, reduce your risk factors. Family history doesn't have to be your destiny.
