A Quick Guide to Cellulite Removal
Cellulite is not restricted to overweight people, and most women out there already know this by now. However, what they do not know is that it does not necessarily denote a sedentary way of life and that it can be eliminated in other ways than by just vigorous exercise. One of these ways is a healthier diet, which, of course, must go hand in hand with exercise and not replace it completely.
Today’s media portrays celebrities as slender and cellulite free. Being constantly bombarded with these idealized images can make women feel inferior. But the fact is that many of these female celebrities have their own weight issues and almost all of them suffer from cellulite. This is because 90 per cent of women will have cellulite at some stage with the risk of the condition increasing as they age. It occurs most often on the thighs, bum and stomach because this is where the body naturally stores more fat.
With the right treatment cellulite can be removed, at least partially. It all comes down to choosing a treatment that works for your particular set of circumstances. Don’t be fooled by any marketing campaign that says you can get rid of cellulite overnight or in a few days. The fact is that it takes awhile for any treatment to work, possibly months.
When undergoing a cellulite treatment, procrastination and lack of motivation will be your biggest enemies. You will need to keep going even when it takes you weeks to see any results. One of the best ways to stay motivated is to imagine what you will look like when you have completed the treatment and put in all that effort.
Probably the most important thing you can do to reduce cellulite is change your diet. There is nothing new or exciting about these changes. Avoid those foods which have lots of fat or sugar, and no more junk food, sweets or chocolate. Increase your consumption of the good foods like lean meat, fruits and vegetables.
A diet is not complete without an exercise program. You should be aiming for exercises that will get rid of the fat but also work and tone the muscles in the areas that are a problem. The program that you do should also be something that you enjoy. If you don’t like the gym then don’t go. Go for a walk or workout at home instead. You need to set things up in such away that it will be something that you enjoy doing so that you will stick with it.
Bad circulation can increase the risk of cellulite. This is because toxins can become trapped inside the fat layer. The cells react by becoming hard and lumpy. Massaging the area with a cellulite cream can soften up the cells and make them more smooth for less dimpled skin. The cream can assist the body in removing the toxins and help burn the fat away from underneath the skin
The causes of cellulite are many, but experts underline that one of them, the most frequent, is not eating right. While we’d be tempted to think this refers to junk food, it is not just about it that nutritionists are speaking of. “When you do not eat enough fiber and cellulite is a problem, your diet may contain more of the foods that can cause cellulite,” says John Degram in “Cellulite Treatment.”
He recommends replacing those fats with fiber and the right type of fats (extra-virgin olive oil, butter and unprocessed coconut oil for cooking, for instance). “Any salty or fatty foods will go straight to your hips and thighs if you do not use fiber to prevent this from happening. Fiber acts like a scrub brush for the body. Fiber will improve circulation and improve your skin’s appearance from the inside out,” Degram points out.
Other two ingredients that should not lack from our diet if we want to rid ourselves of the pesky orange skin effect are duck and oysters. “Both are highly praised in traditional French cuisine for their skin-smoothing properties,” write the girls from All Women’s Talk.
One last tip towards successfully fighting cellulite is learning to stay away from foods that contain ingredients we’re not familiar with (yes, that includes fast food too). “It’s important to know that cellulite stems from numerous sources; the greatest of which being toxins and calories from ‘harmful’ foods. These toxins and calories get stored in your body’s fat storage cells, which eventually leads to the accumulation of cellulite. By removing and keeping these toxins out of your system, you can potentially avoid cellulite build-up,” experts say on About Women.
If we’re to take the above eating tips and associate them with physical exercise and perhaps a weekly professional massage, focusing mostly on the problem areas, experts guarantee that we will never even consider going under the knife again, or throwing our money on God knows what expensive and inefficient cosmetic product. Moreover, come summer, we’ll finally be able to buy and proudly wear that swimming suit we’ve always wanted.
