Dietary Advice for Santa
If I had a few moments with Santa...I might bend his ear about how he might try to trim down so that as he ages, so he is putting less strain on his joints. Easier said than done (don't I know it)...and trust me, I'm not "all about" the BMI tables. I just consider other lifestyle factors helpful for assessing disease "risk" like:
I might also inquire as to his fiber intake (Santa has a LONG ride ahead of him and taking potty breaks aren't exactly in the Christmas Eve schedule...so I would suggest Santa UP his fiber and water intake to keep his intestinal tract humming along!)
Santa also needs endurance on Christmas Eve so I would also remind him to HYDRATE and maybe even Carbo-load (with whole wheat blend pasta) the day of Xmas Eve...so he has the energy (and the temperament) to keep on going through the night with toy deliveries.
He might also want to pack a thermos of hot coffee or light hot cocoa (made with skim or lowfat milk) to give him a kick of caffeine toward the end of the night. The coffee might be better because the warm milk might make him TOO comfortable and put him to sleep.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL...AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

- waist size (last I checked, Santa wasn't exactly doing well on this)
- regular exercise (don't know if Santa chases his reindeer or Mrs. Claus around the North Pole)
- making smart, healthy food choices (that you enjoy) most of the time
- eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are comfortable (so as not to over-eat)
