Congratulations! Keep up the good work. You have an excellent combination of genetics + dietary + lifestyle factors. You apparently have a number of health factors in your favor. If you would like to maintain your present state of health, I suggest a periodic review of your diet, supplement, and lifestyle program to keep you in peak condition.
2. If your answers are mostly B’s, and few C’s or A's:
You are moderately good health but could use suggestions for improvement. There may be a higher risk of developing a major illness. You could use some guidance in making some positive lifestyle changes to achieve a healthier you. I suggest investing in a personal consultation with a Certified and Licensed Dietician-Nutritionist. This could be the best hour that you ever spent on yourself!

You have a number of factors affecting your health and a higher risk of major illness. The leading causes of death in America are heart disease, various cancers, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. Immediate medical intervention may be necessary. Medications may be helpful but are an incomplete solution. In addition, you could use some guidance in making some positive lifestyle changes to achieve a healthier you.
