Do you have cellulite?
Then you are not alone. Most women do, and one of the most common problems I get is how to remove cellulite. Cellulite is the most you experience, and you may find it unsightly. If you want to get rid of it, or at least reduce its appearance, make sure you keep reading.
Cellulite is usually found on the buttocks and thighs and is caused by the fat deposits under the skin pushing up towards the surface of the skin. Cellulite occurs not only in overweight or obese women, but also in women who are considered "thin". Despite what it often said in media that cellulite is not caused by the toxic accumulation of your body. Although cellulite is genetic, your lifestyle has a greater impact on the appearance of your cellulite than you think.
There are a few things that might affect how much cellulite you have, such as:
--How fast your metabolism is
If you have a slow metabolism the chances are that your cellulite is worse.
--If you are not physical active
--If you are not exercising regularly, your cellulite might get worse.
--If you are dehydrated
--If you are not drinking enough water, your skin will become dehydrated. Dehydration might make cellulite worse.
--If you are fad dieting
Fad diets might not provide you with the nutrients your body need to keep your body and skin healthy. In addition, some fad diets can also leave you dehydrated.
--If your diet is poor
A poor diet might not provide you with the nutrients your body needs, or provide you with too much of some, like sodium and unhealthy fats.
--If your total body fat is high
Although cellulite also occurs in women who are considered ‘thin’, a reduction in total body fat often have a positive effect on the appearance of cellulite.
--If you are a woman
It is true that not only women have cellulite. It is, however, less common in men as they have thicker skin.
--If you are older
We are all getting older, and that is a simple fact. With age, our hormones change and also the amount of collagen we produce. This might result in a worsening of the appearance of cellulite.
As mentioned above, there are few things we can’t really change, of course we can not stop aging. However, this is not all doom and gloomy. Your lifestyle may have a significant impact on the appearance of your cellulite.
Below are my top 5 tips to help you to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Reduce your total body fat
Cellulite is fat deposited under your skin, although this type of fat is not harmful to your health, but many women do not like its appearance. The best way to reduce the appearance of fat is to reduce the amount of fat.
Get“back to basics eating”
Rather than following the latest fad diet, implement lifestyle changes that will ensure that you provide your body with all of the nutrients it requires. A diet full of vegetables, fruit, fibre, lean protein, and healthy fats will make wonders to your skin and the appearance of cellulite.
Get physical
Being physically active will help reduce the appearance of cellulite by improving your muscle tone and circulation, as well as firming up the skin.
Hydrate
Hydration is really important to improve circulation, but also to keep your skin healthy. If you are dehydrated your cellulite might appear to be worse, so make sure to fill up that water glass.
Try dry brushing
Although dry brush does not reduce the amount of fat below the skin, it helps to improve circulation and stimulate lymph fluid flow. A few minutes each day is all it takes.
