Maybe: Anytime is a good time to assess your health and think about what you might do to be healthier and make healthie choices. Many associate the new year with a 'fresh start' so that may make a good time but there is also an argument that people tend to break new year reslutions soon. Make a conscous choice to choose to be healthy , exercise, loose weight, change your diet, but make it a life change!

Good & memorable.: The start of the new year is a perfect time to think about your health and plan ahead for the year to come. What health screening might you need this year - colonoscopy, mammogram? How will you work to improve your health this year - weight loss, exercise, sleep better, reduce stress? For many, the new year is considered a new start, so it's the perfect time to embark on a new health path.
