If you are going to
be successful in fighting and removing any cellulite
in your body, it is going to take some perseverance
on your part. All the muscles in our bodies are covered
with a fatty padding surrounded by liquid. This liquid
supplies the padding with nourishment and takes away
the waste products. There is also a network of fibers
which holds together the padding. If all these elements
are working well, our bodies have smooth curves.
Problems start arising if the waste products are
not removed properly. They can build up, saturating
the padding with liquid. This liquid thickens and
hardens into pockets which puff up to produce that
“orange peel” look of cellulite.
There are several natural, safe treatments available
which you can order on line from the internet to remove
cellulite. However, even the very best of treatments
will need some changes in your lifestyle in order
to give you the results you are looking for. You are
going to have to look hard at your diet, your liquid
intake, how much exercise you take, your sleeping
patterns, how relaxed you are and whether you have
any constipation or digestion problems.
The first thing you need to do is to detox your system:
• No alcohol or cigarettes
• No coffee or tea
• No spices
• No fat, cream, fried or oily food
• No diet liquids or pills
• No sleeping pills, diuretic pills or stimulant
pills
• Avoid salt
So instead of all those items listed above, change
to:
• Drinking clear plain water throughout the
day (at least 8 glasses) but not at mealtimes.
• Eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables
at each meal every day.
• Eating as much fresh salad as possible without
any commercial salad dressing. Use some olive oil
with vinegar or lemon juice instead.
• Adding a helping of fish (broiled or baked)
or lean meat (broiled or roasted) to at least one
meal per day.
• Avoiding sauces and gravies.
• Eggs can be boiled or poached. Use low fat
cheeses and yogurt without any preservatives.
• Eating your meals at normal meal times but
eat slowly and chew your food well.
• Drinking vegetable or fruit juice with a teaspoon
of powdered brewer’s yeast 20 minutes before
your meals will help speed up the detoxing program.
• Your diet should be as healthy and natural
as possible so that you avoid all processed, refined
and convenience food.
The aim is not to lose weight but to detox your system.
However, if you are overweight, you will probably
lose weight at the same time.
The wonderful thing about the detox diet above is
that it is immediately going to help the areas which
make you prone to cellulite.
• If you have been suffering from constipation
and digestion problems, then all that water intake
and those fresh fruit and vegetables are going to
help, and in time, eradicate such problems. If constipation
is serious, use a stool bulking product to get you
on the right track and add a fiber supplement to your
diet.
• Then you are going to embark on an exercise
program. This can be as simple or as complicated as
you wish. We suggest you start off with something
easy such as a 20 minute brisk walk every day. As
you find this becomes too easy, progress to something
more taxing. It is important for you to get up a sweat
so that your skin is also getting rid of toxins and
waste products. The exercise will also assist with
any constipation and digestion problems, help you
to sleep better at night and even make you more relaxed
and less tense or stressful.
Detoxifying the body is vital when starting any anti-cellulite
treatment and therapy.
