Hello Doctor, My family has a terrible record when it comes to health. My grandfather and father are suffering from diabetes, heart disease and some more common disease. My mother too is suffering from migraine and weakness. Although they all are being treated by professional doctors. I am very cautious about health. I am 24 now and I really don't want to suffer from diseases as I grow older. So kindly suggest me some healthy lifestyle and tips to live a long healthy life. Thanks.
