How might nutrition and exercise influence whether or not an individual develops a disease for which they have an inherited higher risk?

Exercising is very vital and essential  however even if you exercise a lot you can still have a disease through your genes or an inherited disease. You can't stop from getting an inherited disease you get it through your family members...

Explanation:

Although there are many possible causes of human disease, family history is often one of the strongest risk factors for common disease complexes such as cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and psychiatric illnesses. A person inherits a complete set of genes from each parent, as well as a vast array of cultural and socioeconomic experiences from his/her family. Family history is thought to be a good predictor of an individual’s disease risk because family members most closely represent the unique genomic and environmental interactions that an individual experiences (Kardia et al., 2003). Inherited genetic variation within families clearly contributes both directly and indirectly to the pathogenesis of disease. This chapter focuses on what is known or theorized about the direct link between genes and health and what still must be explored in order to understand the environmental interactions and relative roles among genes that contribute to health and illness

Nutrition and exercise are directly related to certain genetically influenced diseases, such as obesity. Individuals who inherit genes conferring a higher risk of obesity may be able to avoid any issues through good nutrition and exercise habits.
