Heart disease and poor diet, artwork
Heart disease and poor diet. Artwork of an obese man eating fatty and fried foods while having his blood pressure monitored. The broken heart symbol (upper left) represents heart disorders that can result from a poor diet such as the one shown here. Coronary heart disease, a form of atherosclerosis (fatty deposits accumulating in the arteries), can block the coronary arteries and lead to a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Smoking (cigarette at lower left) is also a risk factor for heart disease and other conditions such as lung cancer

EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking artwork titled "Heart Disease and Poor Diet" captures the detrimental effects of an unhealthy lifestyle on our cardiovascular health. The print showcases an obese man indulging in fatty and fried foods while his blood pressure is being monitored. Symbolizing heart disorders resulting from a poor diet, a broken heart looms above, reminding us of the consequences we may face. Coronary heart disease, depicted as fatty deposits accumulating in the arteries (atherosclerosis), poses a significant risk. It can obstruct the coronary arteries, potentially leading to a devastating heart attack (myocardial infarction). Additionally, smoking is highlighted as another perilous factor for heart disease and other conditions like lung cancer. The cartoon-style illustration portrays a white background with various elements representing an unhealthy lifestyle: doughnuts, pizza slices, cigarettes, and sugary drinks. This composition emphasizes how these choices contribute to obesity and its associated health complications. Through this powerful image, Science Photo Library aims to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a balanced diet and adopting healthier habits. By highlighting the risks posed by poor nutrition choices and smoking, viewers are encouraged to consider their own lifestyles and make positive changes for better cardiovascular health.
