The link between a bad diet and obesity is well documented and there are 100’s of diet plans out there designed to help you shift the fat. Being overweight is not great, but are you aware that a bad diet can also affect your cardiovascular health?

An infographic from the University of Arizona illustrates this very clearly. The infographic was produced for students studying for an MSN online, but the information it contains is applicable to everyone. For example, did you know that cardiovascular disease will affect one in three U.S. adults by 2050 if things carry on in the same fashion? It’s not too late to improve your diet and make better lifestyle choices. If I can do it, so can you.
