What To Serve Santa!!

Every year we lay out the food for the big guy. What’s should we be leaving for him on his passage across the globe? What are the healthiest choices we could make for him?

(please note the dietary restrictions … NO reindeer burgers).

1. Ginger Cookies

GINGER HEALTH PROPERTIES – derived from the ginger oils
Can reduce nausea caused by motion sickness of wild sleigh rides.
Can eliminate harmful intestinal bacteria while protecting good bacteria. May improve Santa’s cholesterol levels – in case anyone is worried about his LDL counts.

Raw ginger is thermogenic – increasing metabolic activity for those long evening flybys over Chicago. And dried ginger has been given in traditional medicine to alleviate colds, coughs, inflammations, headaches and even flatulence (so be sure to give some to the upwind reindeer!!).

2. Chocolate Chip Cookies and Milk

CHOCOLATE CHIP HEALTH PROPERTIES
Anti-platelet, Anti-biotic, Raises good Cholesterol, lowers bad cholesterol, prevents DNA damage that can lead to tumors. Not bad, eh?

Vitamin D … Santa is sun deprived up there in the North Pole, so be sure to give him a small glass of milk. Make your own cookies for him, because they have egg yolks that contain even more Vitamin D.
Or combine the Vitamin D and chocolate with a mug of steaming cocoa – it’s the cocoa itself that makes the chocolate good for you (and Santa).

3. Cranberries and carrots for the reindeer!!

Cranberry HEALTH PROPERTIES
Traditionally, cranberries were used medicinally to relieve a variety of ailments: like urinary tract infections gum disease, ulcers, heart disease and cancer.

SO, the bottom line is that Santa wants anything made with love. When you make your chocolate chip cookies or Ginger Snaps or cranberries and carrots for Rudolph and the rest, do it with love and it will be received that way.

Santa knows.
