Heaven Help Me(Ch 12)

Jo’s fingers are interlaced with Alex’s as they wait on line for the coffee cart. Jo takes out her wallet, but Alex swipes it, shaking his head.

“I owe you.”

“What, for the sex or from that one time I got you coffee, like a million years ago?” Jo teases, grabbing her wallet back. “I’m a big girl, I can handle my own coffee cart finances.”

Alex rolls his eyes in his usual ‘over it’ manner, “Just let me be a freakin’ gentleman, okay?” Jo bites her lip, putting her wallet back in purse. She kisses his cheek, but his scowl remains.

“Ugh, you really need your coffee this morning, don’t you? It’s kind of funny how we as doctors preach that ‘coffee is harmful for you’ and ‘it’s an addicting substance’ when half the doctors I know rely on it to get through the day.”

Alex steps up, “Can I have a black coffee and a lemon scone, please?” he asks the vendor, then turning back to Jo, “Stop with the existential coffee crisis, or I swear I’ll be grumpy forever.”

Jo grins, “Fine,” she pauses for a moment, looks down at her watch, then perks up, “Oh! I have to be in the lab in five!” she says anxiously.

Alex hands her the scone, “Go make magic happen. Love you,” he pulls her in for a proper kiss. Jo quickly kisses him back, before rushing off, scone in hand.

“So you and Karev, huh?” Bailey asks Jo as steps into the lab, after changing into her scrubs. “Is that why you’re,” Bailey checks her watch, “seven minutes late?”

Jo drops her stuff on an empty bench, slipping her white coat on over her scrubs.

“No, uh, just lost track of time. And does everyone know everyone’s relationship status here?”

“Word travels fast,” Bailey hmphs as she looks down a microscope. “Oh, Wilson. Come look at these samples! Your idea to neutralize the-“

“It worked?!” Jo exclaims happily.

Bailey looks up at Jo and grins, “Looks like we may have just gotten ourselves some electric skin.” Jo squeals in excitement.

Bailey’s pager beeps loudly, and she looks down at it. “Chiefly duty calls, I’ll be back later Wilson.”

Jo waves her off, “Okay! Yay us!” She finds herself also being paged, an emergency patient in OR 8. So she makes her way to it.

“Wilson, get in here. No, not over there, I have to go. Forty-five year old male, presented with acute abdominal pain, someone bring up the CT for her please? Turns out he has a huge tumor on his gall-bladder.

You can remove it in a half a second, but I’m being paged. I’m not sure if it’s metastasized yet, just take it out. Thanks so much, Jo,” Meredith Grey swiftly makes her way to the scrub room in a whirlwind of information.

Jo takes a deep breath, clearing her mind of sweet scones, and even sweeter kisses, along with neutralized cell parts and electronic skin. She asks a nurse, “Clamp, please,” and she’s in her happy place.

***

“It is officially wedding month. Today is July first. Jo, are you listening? July first!” Amelia rattles on, and Jo dips an apple slice in the plastic peanut butter cup resting on her lap.

“There’s like two and a half weeks till your wedding. Besides, you two have been dating for years, you have a three-year-old son. Please tell me you’re not nervous,” Jo moves the peanut butter to the table, leaning into her elbows.

Amelia rolls her eyes, “No! But it’s so stressful. I ran from my last wedding. I mean I had a-“

“Brain tumor.”

“Grape-fruit sized! But still, I have yet to have a successful wedding. I want it to be nice; like the kind that people remember fondly and smile about. You know?”

“No. My first marriage ended in me fleeing. We had a courthouse wedding, because he told me he couldn’t wait. That was how he tied himself to me. I’ve never had a nice wedding,” Jo shrugs. Amelia grins cheshire-esque.

“What?” Jo deadpans.

“Well, you could have a nice wedding to Karev someday. Everyone knows you’ve been getting cozy. But he had a njce first wedding, so you have to top that. It was in a church.”

“He got divorced a little over a month ago. Somehow I’m sure that he’s not thinking of wedding bells just yet. Plus, it’s hard to top a church wedding. Did they have nice flowers?”

Amelia grimaces, “Meredith tells me they were pink.” Jo drops an apple slice into the peanut butter.

“Well its a good thing he and I are very new. So wedding bells are not ringing.”

“Yet,” Amelia adds cheekily. “However, I do have wedding bells ringing, and you’re best woman. Tell me all of my fiancé’s juicy secrets.”

Jo laughs, “Link won’t girl talk with me. Sadly, he has no juicy secrets.”

“What’s the point of being best woman without finding out the groom’s deepest secrets? I mean I know them, but still,” Amelia squints.

Jo shrugs, munching on another peanut butter apple splice.

***

“Hey!” Alex brings Jo in for a sweet kiss as they meet up outside the hospital doors.

“Hey,” she says softly into the kiss. Once they break, Jo bites her lip, big eyes.

Alex looks at her puzzlingly, “I know that look. What are you not saying?”

“Nothing, just tired,” Jo shrugs, folding her arms. Alex gives her a pointed look. So she relents, and starts walking toward his car.

“Would you ever want to get married again?” Alex looks taken aback for a moment, but ponders the question.

“I dunno. I thought that Izzie was the love of my life. Now...I’m just happy with you. I don’t know what my future looks like.”

“Yeah,” Jo inquires, “but do you want kids ever? Or a house, or I don’t know, Alex. Do you want something serious again?” She bites her lip again. Alex turns to Jo, stopping.

“Is this you asking if I’m serious about you? Because god Jo, I am. I meant I when I said I love you. I don’t know what I want right now. Is that okay?” Alex’s eyes soften in their gaze at the female doctor.

Jo shakes her head, “Yes, of course. It hasn’t been that long since...anyways I just want to know- I don’t know. I just wanted to know if we’re serious. And we are,” Jo smiles, yet the left flicker of her eyes is offsetting.

Alex grabs her by the waist, kissing her more fervently this time.

“Love you.”

“I love you.”

Sugar is considered to be the most horrible food you can eat particularly when it comes to maintaining a healthy body and losing weight. Many people say that sugar is addictive, toxic, and fat generating and that eating too much of it can cause far worse health problems like an impaired type2 diabetes, heart disease, and immune system. Although having sugar in a moderate amount is less likely to lead to these serious health issues but most people over consumes the sugar in their daily life. This overconsumption of sugar is precisely what leads to type2 diabetes, weight gain and the other unhealthy side effects. According to an estimate people around the world, consume more than 500 calories daily due to sugar. A study indicates that American eats about triple the daily-recommended amount of added sugars.

How Much Sugar Can You Eat Per Day?

 If you are healthy, taking normal amounts of sugar along with regular exercise does not harm. It is better you follow a healthy diet with added sugar kept to a minimum. Although it is very difficult to say the ideal amount of sugar one can consume, those who are complaining of obesity and heart disease should consume less than normal. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), people who do not have diabetes can take the maximum amount of sugar.

Men: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons).

Women: 100 calories per day (25 grams or 6 teaspoons).

We use sugar from morning until evening. Today we recommend you that you can use naturally sweets food instead of sugar. To add sweetness to food, we use sugar, which is harmful to us.

Why White Sugar Is Dangerous?

White sugar is also called refined sugar. Sulfur dioxide, phosphoric acid, calcium hydroxide, and activated carbon are used to refine sugar. After refining, the vitamins, minerals, proteins, and enzymes in it are destroyed, only sucrose is left. White sugar or refined sugar is called 'foodless food' as it contains empty calories but does not contain vitamins or minerals, so it does not have much benefit for health. Excess sucrose damages the body. There are 60 types of diseases like heart diseases, cancer, blood pressure and of course diabetes that may happen due to the use of added sugar.

High-sugar diets can increase inflammation, oil production in the skin, androgen secretion and all of this can elevate your risk of developing acne and pimples.

Thus eating too much sugar leaves signs of aging in your face.According to research conducted at the University of Holland, the more amount of sugar in the body you will grow old faster. Studies have revealed that individual with higher blood sugar tends to look older than those with lower sugar levels. In fact, for every milligram per liter rise in blood sugar levels the perceived age of that individual rose by at least 5 months. Breakdown of skin tissue causes wrinkles on your face and you look older.

No. 4 Can Increase Cellular Aging:

Various researches have also found a direct correlation between sugar intake and cell aging. Consuming excess sugar can accelerate the shortening of telomeres, which in turn increases cellular aging. Telomeres are a type of chromosome which taken as a measure of cellular aging. The mechanism behind the accelerated destruction of cells, tissues, and organs was studied in diabetic individuals and is known as glycation, where a sugar molecule dangerously binds with the proteins. Hence, consuming refined sugar and carbohydrate in the diet is to be regulated to reduce the negative impact of aging.

Sugar increases the problem of high blood pressure and thereby puts the additional burden to your heart.

No. 6 Sugar Is a Stepping Stone To Diabetes:

A study performed over 90000 women subjects, the women who consume a high sugary drink every day had an 83% raised risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those who consumed sugary drinks less often. Intake of excess sugar leads to obesity and insulin resistance, both of which are risk factors for diabetes.

No. 7 Can Lead to Fatty Liver:

In those who eat more sugar, the brain cells get old quickly which leads to slowed cognitive function and deficit in memory and attention. The nervous system is also adversely affected. Excess intake of sugar causes vitamin B deficiency in the body and vitamin B complex is important for the proper functioning of nerves.

No. 10 Sugar Makes Feel Hungry:

Sugar makes you feel hungry. A study conducted by researchers of Yale University has found that the people who consume more sugar compared to others tend to feel hungrier afterward. Sugar blocks leptin secretion and increases insulin to huge levels. Leptin is a hormone responsible for sending our systems the signal that we are full and should not be eating more. However, when we take sugar, this hormone is blocked and we tend to feel more prone to eat more. Not only that, but it also raises insulin levels in our brains and this makes any attempts to burn fat and lose weight extra hard. As sugar only provides empty calories, a high-sugar diet can negatively affect your energy levels by causing a spike in blood sugar followed by a crash.

No. 11 Sugar Can Make You Depressed And Moody:

Sugary food and Sugar-sweetened beverages have high levels of sugar are one of the main causes of tooth decay. Eating sugar does not actually harm your oral health, but it is the acid produced when the bacteria in your mouth break down the sugar. Sugar attracts these destructive bacteria and Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sorbrinus are most commonly found in the human mouth. These bacteria feed on the sugar you eat and form dental plaque (a sticky coating on the surface of teeth). The sugar converted to acid dissolve your tooth enamel and eventually turns into the cavity and worsens the condition.  Sweet foods like chocolate or candy are more prone to be stuck in these dental cavities.

ADDICTIVE NATURE OF SUGAR

Now it becomes necessary to discuss what is going to happen if you quit sugar for just 30 days. According to some studies, when people quit eating sugar they suffer from withdrawal symptoms and they describe having strong cravings for sugary food especially for things like chocolates, sugar, and sweet carbohydrates. These studies also point out that consumption of any of these things can trigger relapse and indulge eating. All these things happen due to the effect of sugar has on the human brain. The reason why eating sugar makes you feel good because sugar activates the pleasure and reward center of your brain and stimulates the release of dopamine (the happiness hormone).

Now, if you have been stimulating these neural pathways constantly for long-time and then, all the sudden, quit eating sugar, it could cause intense sugar cravings because your body is not used to the absence of sugar. Therefore, in this way, sugar has an addictive effect just like other drugs. According to experts, sugar is seven times more addictive than cocaine. There is a strong desire to eat sugar and carbohydrate foods when it becomes addictive. The more sugar you eat, the more the desire to eat it increases. The researchers have conducted studies on rats to find out their dependency on sugar. The findings of that study show that the dependency pattern is correlated to several aspects of addiction, like the cycle of having cravings, binging and subsequently having withdrawal symptoms. So, if you are planning to quit sugar, be prepared to face the sugar cravings early on.

HOW COULD YOU STOP SUGAR ADDICTION?

Fortunately, this craving will fade away quickly. Usually, in just 3 to 5 days these sugar craving symptoms drop down significantly. So prepare yourself to go through this phase of desire to satisfy your sweet tooth, as this will end in a short period. The best way to save yourself from the unhealthy effect of sugar is to control your desire for sugar. Limit your sugar intake in moderation. To start with, stay away from consuming sugar for a set period. Reduce sugar intake gradually. Initially, you may develop headaches, fatigue, and laziness, but after a week, these symptoms will disappear.

            So, say no to sugar and go for alternate sweeteners, which we will discuss soon.
