It’s hard to be you when you’re heart is sick! Although you may not feel the exact same way that the above picture depicts, there are still hindrances and repercussions that will slow your body down and inflict costly damage. Your heart is like a pump. However, when a water pump becomes rusty or is unable to effectively disperse fluid, what good is it!? Similarly, there is no way you can operate at a 100% level when one of your core organs is unable to effectively pump oxygen to muscles throughout your body. Whether you want to or not, you will end up developing some of the symptoms listed below with an eventual diagnosis of heart disease:
On the other hand, there are also preventative measures that can ensure you will avoid these repercussions! A few being exercise, and plentiful fruit and vegetable intake. However, many of these symptoms are acquired over the course of many years of poor lifestyle choices, as well as genetic predispositions—and it is never too early to start forming good habits that build up your body and decrease your chances of obtaining this debilitating disease.
So don’t be a drag, and keep your heart pumpin’!

Nice use of color in your drawings! This video was really cute and had great information.
I really liked the way that you explained how the heart works and what heart disease does to impact that. Your drawing board was also entertaining and really easy to understand.
Great drawings to go along with the explanations. Very well done.

There were some really great pictures of both the heart and arteries – both realistic and descriptive. The recommendations suggested were really great and the pictures fit well. The pace of the video was really great and I could hear the audio very well. Good job!

Nice Job. I thought it really explained what heart disease was in a simplified way. Great drawings and creativity.
Your drawings were so good! Really creative and good use of color and information. I loved your cow and you really spelled out the information well for your audience
Your team can definitely draw better than I’l ever be able to do. Awesome ideas and great artwork. Really stood out and it’s simple so children can understand it which makes it easier for them.
I am in absolute awe of the artwork! The only thing that I would have done differently is add a little music to the background to help grab and keep the attention of the kiddos. Otherwise it was AMAZING!!!
