Christmas Elves and Sugar As Energy: Exploring How They Get Things Done Quickly and Joyfully

  Christmastide is synonymous with joy, hope, and magic. Christmas Elves use their magic to ensure Christmas Spirit is celebrated each and every year. These beings work tirelessly. Many say that magic can't exist. Many say not many elves and too much work. What is the truth? Is there a secret to Santa's Sleigh Ride?  

Truth About History And Implications

Magic used to exist more on Gaea many millennia ago. It dwindled due to mortals disbelief when they had great belief before. This includes Christmas Spirit. It is not as high as it was but still survives to this day. What is left of magic is mostly Christmas Spirit which is part of Ancient Power AKA magic.   Much more is said on this subject in multiple articles that the list is too extensive to list here.   Before we reveal the secret to Christmas Elvin energy output, it is time to learn about Christmas Elves and their bodies in a semi-medical format.  

Health and Christmas Elves

Busy Lives

Christmas Elves are often depicted as merry and industrious people working for Santa Claus in different positions and throughout the differing areas/departments. Elves make toys, care for the reindeer and other animals, sleigh maintenance, and much more. How can they continue their duties and also be merry? What are their dietary habits?  

Balanced Nutritional Needs

Elves eat quite healthy. Their normal diet is full of nutritious foods to ensure they are healthy. They receive a perfect score in their annual check-ups each year.  

Sugar as General Source of Energy

In humanoid beings and other creatures, our primary energy source is sugar. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate. The process of cellular respiration starts when it is ingested and inside the body. It is critical for fueling bodily functions in mortal or magical species.   So, what is this process? Sugar is broken down into glucose when consumed. Glucose is used by cells to produce adenosine triphosphate or ATP. ATP is the energy currency of the cell.  

What is the secret?

Now that we've discussed some important info, we shall reveal the secret to Christmas Elvin energy output and how they manage to finish the toys before Santa lifts off.   The secret is that Christmas Elves convert the sugar into energy more quickly than humans do. This means they can eat candy canes, cookies, figgy pudding, any cake, peppermint, fruitcake and more and drink both hot chocolate and eggnog which helps them speed up their work while also inducing happiness and love within themselves.   And they know their bodies cannot survive on this alone so non-working elves (those retired or children mainly) don't usually eat sugary foods that often. Retired elves are usually only eating when called to help in extreme emergencies.   Mortals would, could, and do die if we eat this much sugar. We also get obese from eating these things and pizza and soda all the time.
