Stress Heart Attack

We can burn carbs, protein, and fat for energy. Since carbs are easy to burn, we burn them first. This is called oxidative priority.
Burning carbs causes excess production of free radicals.
To neutralize free radicals, one way is to steel and elctron from nitric oxide (NO).
If NO is being used up by neutralizing ROS, it cannot be used to activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This leaves a situation of over activation of the sympathetic nervous system... a state of chronic stress, and this state can lead to a stress heart attack.
