The new year is a good time to make sure you are prioritizing your health.

Adults should be keeping up with routine medical screenings.

For example, getting your cholesterol checked will let you know if you need to make any changes to avoid serious health issues like a heart attack or stroke.

When it comes to diabetes, keeping tabs on your blood glucose levels is important.

And a visit to your doctor can also help you stay on top of cancer screenings.

A doctor with the Cleveland Clinic said people shouldn’t put off going to the doctor even if they haven’t reached specific goals.
