Summer is often the time of the year where we do things that will live in our memories throughout our lives. It is a transition time between grades, schools, work, and love. It is often looked at as a break but can often lead to growth as we learn about life. It is a time for family vacations, travel, adventure, and family reunions.
Recently we went to a Family Reunion and went to a place where my Dad spent his Summers as a youth. One morning we were sitting around the breakfast table and family members were sharing the different medications and Statin Drugs they were taking for various conditions such as cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and more. When it came time for me to speak my response could have been silence since I'm not taking any of the Statins, but I replied that I take Nutritional Supplements.

Your Family History
This Summer has allowed us to look at out own life and the history of our family. There are close family members that are in poor health and soon we will only have their memories. It is often talked about that our health or sometimes lack of is due to our family history. There are certain genetic traits that can be passed from one generation to another. It counts for about 30% of our overall health. The rest comes from our lifestyle choices. We often blame our parents for our looks, hair(and lack of), disposition, health, and many other things when it fits. Blaming others is looking at life from a point of weakness. Strength can be found in noticing your faults , taking action, and finding a way to overcome them. You can change many things in your life especially your health.What do you do to preserve your family history? The things you do this Summer may one day become memories others have about you. It is important to know your family history for your health and wellness. It is even more important to know their life stories. There are so many ways to connect with and learn about your Family. The Author Michael Crichton said, “ If you don't know your family's history then you don't know anything. You are a leaf that doesn't know it is part of a tree.
