How to reduce Cellulite

Cellulite plagues nearly every woman. Even the most beautiful and famous can't get rid of it and there are many famous people suffering with this problem. There is also increasingly adolescent girls suffering from cellulitis.

Unfortunately there is no miracle diet that makes cellulite disappear dramatically and permanently in a woman's body, but it is important to know that there are healthy diets that help remove cellulite, improving skin's appearance and lower levels of accumulated fat.

What is cellulite

Women are much more likely to have cellulite than men by several factors including, genetics, and hormone levels.

Cellulite is the fat accumulated in the fat cells of the hypodermis. The retention of fluids and fatty tissues that are gathering under the skin will give you an appearance of orange peel due to changes in microcirculation and consequent increase of fibrous tissue.

Food

Even though this is a difficult and lengthy process, can improve the appearance of your skin, your well being and health by reducing the stored fat in the body. It is important to detoxify the body and eliminate toxins.

Fruits and vegetables are recommended because they contain multiple compounds like fiber, minerals and antioxidants that help reduce the damage to our bodies by free radicals (such as tobacco and alcohol). Foods rich in iodine are very important in an anti-cellulite diet because iodine is the major driver of the thyroid gland, responsible for the speed of metabolism.

All foods that improve circulation, help detoxify the body, to facilitate digestion and regulate bowel are advised.

Food advised:
  • Kiwis
  • Cherries
  • Sleeves
  • Oranges
  • Strawberries
  • Apples
  • Banana
  • Spinach
  • Tomato
  • Asparagus
  • Watercress
  • Lettuce
  • Carrots
  • Artichoke
  • Brown rice

The major allies in the fight against cellulite are liquids, teas, especially green tea and especially water. Liquids help to increase metabolism, detoxify, deflated, and help remove fat.

Make a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, keep your skin hydrated and you will be able to win the fight against cellulite.

The Lemon Diet

The lemon diet is already quite old, but lately has been quite widely spoken because Beyonce has lost nearly 22 pounds with this diet. The lemon diet is quite strict, and as such is also not recommended by many health professionals and should be viewed as a detox diet rather than as a weight loss diet.

This diet is deficient in many essential nutrients the body needs like: proteins, minerals, vitamins, meaning that besides losing weight you lose muscle and fat. Taken to an extreme diet can be very dangerous.

Lemon is rich in vitamin C, but not only. It is also rich in magnesium, iron, phosphorus and vitamin B and is known for its health benefits in relieving the symptoms of infections, arthritis, gout, purify the blood and is an excellent diuretic.

Benefits:
  • Detoxifies and eliminates toxins;
  • Cleanses the kidneys and digestive system;
  • Purifies the glands and cells;
  • It relieves the pressure on the arteries and blood vessels;

When it comes to the lemon diet, we talk about a total fasting diet of solid food, that just allows the intake of water and lemon for about 15 days. It is a process in which one feels hunger, headaches, tiredness, dizziness, nausea, etc...

For the process not to be as aggressive, the suggestion is that in addition to maintaining a daytime food intake low in calories take every day in the morning lemon with warm water, increasing by half a lemon a day. Thus, if in the first day you drink a glass of water with half a lemon, the second should drink with one lemon, the third day one and a half a lemon, til three lemons a day and then cut the same way until you return to daily half a lemon.

The Spring Diet

With the arrival of Spring, it is time to start dropping the bulky winter clothes and prepare your taste buds to fruits and vegetables that are coming, fresh and full of color. It's time to give color and flavor to the table.

With the warmer days we can start to eat lighter, because the body needs fewer calories to maintain body temperature and digestion slows. We need not restrict any food, but we can add more color in our meals. The freshest the foods are, the greater the amount of vitamins.

The Spring Diet offers, besides increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables at meals, vary as much as possible in their color, because the larger the variety of color, the greater the amount of nutrients.

Push your imagination, decorate and use aromatic herbs in your salads to add flavor to them, avoid sauces and fats.

Do not forget to reduce the consumption of salt because it causes fluid retention and increase water consumption to help hydration on hot days. Green tea is also a healthier choice than any soda. A can of soda has about 140 calories, the equivalent of about nine teaspoons of sugar. Green tea (without sugar, of course) has 0 calories. Take the opportunity to set aside completely fried foods and go back to cooked and grilled foods that tastes so well in this time of year.

Enjoy the longer and milder days and do physical exercise, which combined with a healthy diet based on fruits and vegetables will help you lose weight and keep the body toned.
