So what really
is this cellulite? Think of the legs and butt as quilts.
The quilt's top piece of fabric is your skin, stuffing is your
fat and the stitches are the fibrous attachments that course
through the fat and attach to the underside of the skin. Now
the fewer of these fibrous attachments one has, the more likely
the skin will lie smoothly and that is the key to cellulite
control..
To fight cellulite,
salt and fatty foods should be avoided as much as possible.
Avoiding red meats, full fat dairy products and refined carbohydrates
such as white flour, bread and rice also help combating cellulite.
Eating raw fruit and vegetables, drinking
more water and eating less junk foods also make a significant
difference.
Then
comes bottom brushing. The dry brush massage technique exfoliates
the skin and promotes detoxification from the skin.. It also
helps keep pores open and stimulates circulation in underlying
tissues.
The massage takes about 10 minutes and
is best done upon rising and before bed. Get a long handled,
natural bristle brush or a loofah mitt. Use a long flat motion
starting at the feet and working upwards in circular movements
towards the heart. The effect can be enhanced by "skin
gymnastics" - alternating between a hot and cold shower.
Cellulite workout also helps because
cellulite is an issue of having too much fat and too little
muscle. Putting effort into the right exercise program can
produce big changes in your cellulite situation and major
improvements in your appearance.
Tips on Cellulite
With summer around the corner and thousands of cellulite
creams and treatments to choose from what should you do?
Be careful with cellulite creams which make those unbelievable
"50% cellulite reduction" and "lose inches"
claims. Watch out for ideal "before" and "after"
photos. Even with paid clinical studies backing results
you shouldn't expect to have the same results.
Going to expensive cellulite massage clinics will get
you visible results but these results are temporary and
costly. Massaging is still the best way to smooth away cellulite
bumps, why not massage at home and save money.
Be careful with ephedra containing diet pills; many other
safer fat burners are available with ingredients like chromium
picolinate, vitamin B6 and ginseng. These also help stimulate
metabolism to aid in burning away fatty deposits.
Be weary of products which claim "no exercise required"
this is a no-brainer, a good diet and exercise program will
definitely help you achieve the best possible results in
eliminating cellulite.
Cellulite is an ongoing battle; using a combination of
diet, massage, cellulite gel and fat burning pills will
gradualy get you long lasting results. Don't trust any one
product or treatment to give you incredible results.
