Mommy dearest...

You can thank your mom for your long legs and strong nails, or groan over the slow metabolism and grey hair genes you got stuck with, but either way, mom's a wealth of information when it comes to your health.

Here are five questions you should ask her for your own well-being:

1. How tall was mom at 21?
2. Did she have a rough pregnancy?
3. How are her eyes?
4. Any mental health problems?
5. What about her skin?
