A top complaint for women when it comes to their bodies is the
cottage cheese-looking fatty skin known as cellulite.
Fat deposits that are just below the surface of
the skin cause cellulite. It often appears after puberty surfacing on skin in
the abdomen, lower limbs and pelvic region. According to a study by Neutrogena,
70 percent of women have cellulite. Because women have thinner skin, more women
suffer with it than men. Excess weight and a lack of exercise can worsen the
problem; however, even thin women can struggle with it. To fight against
cellulite, simple diet changes may help you avoid cellulite as well as improve
your overall health.
1. Drink more water
The theory is that toxins are thought to be the major
culprits in cellulite production. Therefore drink plenty of water, at least
eight glasses per day, to stay hydrated ensures that toxins and waste are
continuously flushed out of your system.
2. Cut caffeine
It is hypothesized that caffeine constricts blood vessels,
which constrain blood and oxygen circulation to cells. While your drinking more
water, eliminate or at least cut down on caffeinated beverages such as coffee,
tea, sodas and energy drinks.
3. Avoid alcohol
Alcohol is a toxin that hampers your system and also
prohibits your body from efficiently processing other toxins.
4. Eliminate
processed food and bad fats
Processed food contains preservatives, sweeteners and sodium
that contributes to the toxic content that your body is forced to try to
eliminate. Also fats from animal products and fried foods are not the good fats
for your body. Again, the theory that added toxins contribute to cellulite and
you want to avoid unnecessary toxins. Choose fresh vegetables, fruits and
replace bad fats with good fats found in nuts, avocados and fish.
As
I have mention before Consistent cardio and strength training is the answer to
a better body and a long and healthier life.
