The formation of plaque along our blood vessel walls starts with chronic,
excessive oxidative stress and inflammation.
As a result, intake of pears has now been associated with decreased risk of several common chronic diseases that begin with chronic inflammation and
excessive oxidative stress.
Cardiomegaly is due to
excessive oxidative stress (from either intense exercise or excess calorie intake, especially excess saturated fats and polyunsaturated fats) combined with antioxidant deficiencies (e.g. vitamin E, selenium, glutathione, C, zinc, copper).
Although very different in origin,
excessive oxidative stress may lead to damage to lipids, proteins and DNA.
