Fighting Cellulite With Diet And Exercise

The best way to combat cellulite is to take control of your weight and body fat. Reducing your portions and exercising will decrease your body’s fat cell size and improving the health of your skin. Start with a healthy diet, full of fruits, vegetables, and food with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These foods do not contain the toxins of processed foods, so your body is able to process them better and absorb the essential nutrients they provide. Avoid foods packaged with sugars, starches, and preservatives. To help increase blood and lymphatic drainage, establish a daily exercise regimen. Weekly aerobic exercises and weight training have been proven effective in reducing cellulite. Once you get used to working out and eating well, you should see a significant transformation in your energy levels, body shape, and confidence all at the same time.

Fighting Cellulite With Proper Hydration

You’ve heard it before but I’ll say it again — keep your body hydrated! Water helps keep your cells and skin hydrated and functioning at their best. This regenerates healthy skin cells and removes toxins from your body. Avoid sugary or carbonated beverages that dehydrate your body, and drink more water throughout the day. In time, you’ll find water to be the tastiest drink you can put in your mouth.

Fighting Cellulite With Self-Massage

Self-massage can stimulates the microcirculation to your skin and lymphatics, while relaxing your skin’s connective fibers and underlying muscle. Scrub cellulite-ridden areas with a loofah to encourage your skin to relax. Follow this with a hydrating massage to increase external circulation in these areas.

Fighting Cellulite With Clinical Treatments

There are many other cellulite treatments which propose to reduce the appearance of cellulite. These are expensive and require multiple treatments to complete. Unfortunately, the majority of these miracle treatments have limited long-term benefits and lack of proven effectiveness. If something sounds too good to be true, chances are it is.

Fighting Cellulite With Liposuction

Liposuction is designed to remove focal fat deposits that have not responded to a healthy dietary and exercise routine. Before you consider getting liposuction for cellulite, get your body to a healthy weight. Maintain a good diet and exercise plan, and see what areas of cellulite go away on their own. If you notice that some areas will not change even after weight loss, you may be a candidate for liposuction. Some people have genetically predisposed fat deposits that are resistant to exercise and diet. The appearance of cellulite may improve, worsen, or remain unchanged after liposuction in these areas. Talk to a plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate for this procedure, or if there are other cosmetic surgeries that can reduce your cellulite. Make an informed decision prior to your procedure, and you will end up with great results that you’re proud to show off.
