Why are blood tests so important? Your blood can tell doctors many things about your body and health.

Common Blood tests are:

• A complete blood count (CBC)
• Blood chemistry tests
• Blood enzyme tests
• Blood tests to assess heart disease risk

Your blood can say a lot about you. Blood tests are extremely important when it comes to preventative health as well. Many people do not realize that some blood tests can show your risk of cancer and hopefully prevent it.

Get blood work done every year, even twice a year to maintain health.
