How to conquer the enemy? Cellulite!

One of the questions that asked a lot: Cellulite?!

Nearly %90 of the women are affected of cellulite not matter their body size or weight are. So cellulite is a universal truth and there is no need to be ashamed of it. It does not look or feel pretty, I know but there are steps we can take to diminish the look.

What is cellulite?

In a nut shell, cellulite is a consequence of a push and pull movement.  Fat cells push into the middle layer of the skin and pull off the connective tissue which causes the orange peel or dimple look. Cellulite is not associated with only one body type but everyone can have it. Even if you are very very thin you can have cellulite. Why does it happen? There is a wide range of reasons from genetics to hormones as well as your diet, speed of your metabolism and natural thickness of your skin.

Can we prevent cellulite?

Yes but needs commitment. Eating healthy, high fiber and low fat foods (organic, natural), avoiding high fat-high carbohydrate foods ( i.e. fast foods, soda, pastries, sugar, anything extreme), drinking a lot of water especially with lemon  can help prevent cellulite also weight gain. Exercise regularly also helps you to avoid cellulite.

Don’t forget: You are what you eat!

Is there an absolute cure for cellulite?

I always suggest the natural and easy solution. Changing your life style will help you loose weight, get rid of cellulite and live a healthier life. Eating a healthy diet and exercising is a part of the regimen. Exfoliating the areas of the body with cellulite and massage to help to increase the stimulation will break up and release the fluids from the area and make dimply looking skin appear more even. During the process you also get rid of dead skin cells making your skin healthier. In the next article, we will be talking about DIY Cellulite scrub :).

There are also more drastic and expensive solutions like laser treatment even liposuction. If you are considering these options please consult your doctor who is an expert in the procedure and learn all the details before you proceed.
