10 Ways to Beat Cellulite!!

Got Cellulite??? Can we beat it???

So if you have some cellulite there are some easy natural ways to beat it as well. Some healthy life style habits can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Drink Well:

Drink six to eight glass of water per day to flush out any excess sodium that causes fluid retention. Drinking enough water is an easy way to improve the texture of your skin. It seems counterintuitive, but drinking more fluid, your body actually releases excess fluid that you are holding into. Not to mention that water is just damn good for you. If you get bored of water try herbal teas or adding a little pure fruit juice to it. Sticking to this regime can make our skin look plumper within days – Goodbye Cellulite!!!

Quit Smoking:

Here’s yet another reason to kick the habit. Smoking can worsen cellulite as it cuts off your skin’s food supply and floods your body with toxins. This can have detrimental effect on the elasticity of your skin, thereby worsening cellulite- and bringing on premature wrinkles and sagging. Ah!

De-Stress:

Stress heads takes note! Stress causes hormonal changes that can affect skin. Cortisol is a stress hormone that can cause thinning of skin and increased fat storage. It can also slow the production of growth hormones that create healthy skin. It is so important to get relaxation in to your day; try Yoga, cycling or walking, and make sure you get the magic eight hours sleep at night.

Exercise:

Although thin people are just likely to get cellulite as overweight people, weight gain can worsen the appearance of cellulite. If you combine a cardiovascular exercise program, with resistance training on your legs and bum, you could dramatically reduce the appearance of cellulite. This will take longer than seven days but the reduction in cellulite will be amazing. Aerobic exercise is also a fantastic way to burn calories and burn fat, thereby reducing the size of fat cells under the skin.

Eat a Healthy diet:

Eating a diet full of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats and whole grains can give your body the essential vitamins and minerals it needs to properly burn fat and keep your skin and tissues healthy. In fact healthy proteins from nuts, beans and fish, and antioxidant rich green tea, berries and garlic can help build up collagen – a connective tissue that helps plump up the skin and makes the signature peaks and valleys of cellulite less extreme. A healthy diet full of vitamin C, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids can also improve skin texture.

Body Brush :

A body brush could be your best purchase this year! Skin brushing helps remove dead skin cells, stimulates circulation and boosts your lymphatic flow. This in turn helps out the poor drainage in fat cells that cause cellulite. For the best results brush twice a day using long strokes towards your heart.

Moisturize:

There are lot of creams and gels on the market, with all sorts of ambitious claims. The truth is, for great results you cannot rely on creams alone, they need to be combined with exercise and healthy eating/drinking. Having said that, putting on any good moisturizer twice a day will help to plump up the skin on your rear. And using the specialist cellulite products will get even better results. They are designed to boost your circulation in the troubled area and increase collagen production. For best results, the creams have to be used continually.

Consume Essential Fatty Acids :

Essential fatty acids can help strengthen the connective tissues around fat cells, thereby helping to reduce cellulite. A diet richer in essential fatty acids may stop the fat cells slackening and therefore could reduce the dimpling effect. Good sources of essential fatty acids are olive oil, flaxseed oil, blackcurrant seed oil, walnut oil and fish oil.

Eat more Protein:

 Water retention can be part of the cellulite problem. Protein can help as it contains albumin, which helps absorb excess fluid. For the best effect, try eating three portions of fish, pulses and beans, poultry or tofu every day.

Massage:

Massage from trained practitioners has a host of benefits. It can help reduce stress, increase circulation and lymphatic drainage and break down adhesions. Specialist manual skin kneading combined with lymphatic drainage can result in the smoothing of skin tissue and the lamination of excess fluid.

In order to reduce cellulite, you must reduce the excess fat deposits on your body.
