SHELL - by Shelley Johnson

Our body is like our shell, so remember this acronym on the top five ways to take care of YOUR shell!

S - Sleep.  Getting enough good and restful sleep is so important.  Lack of sleep wreaks havoc on the body.  We need a good night sleep every  night to restore, renew, and refresh our minds, bodies and spirits.

H - Healthy eating.  This is not rocket science; we all know what this means.  Feed your body with nutrient-dense foods filled with vitamins and minerals.

E - Exercise.  Find something you love to do.  Any way that you can move your body, burn calories, increase strength, mobility, and flexibility is a great way to take care of your body.

L - Love, Make Love.  Sex is a basic need of the body.  Like sleep, sex in a loving, monogamous relationship is designed to restore, renew and refresh our minds, bodies, and spirits.

L - Lotion.  Moisturize - do it!  Lotion, lotion, lotion - gotta love it!  Your body will love you for it!  Your skin is like the shell of your shell - take care of it!  Lotion!
