Fighting off cellulite can be a tough battle, but if you're willing to go the distance than there are a few things you can do to really make a difference in those cottage-cheese dimples.
The first thing you need to do is understand what exactly cellulite is.
Cellulite is made up of fatty deposits under the skin's surface, which then severely restrict the flow of blood to the cells at the surface.
These cells shrink without their needed nutrients and the result is that the fatty deposit below bulge up in a very visible way.
Fast food, junk food and overly processed foods can all contribute to the formation of cellulite.
This is because these foods are high in two very bad things: trans fats and sugars.
Trans fats are hard for the body to process so avoiding them by eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and lean protein is a great first start.
Sugar is bad because it will restrict the flow of blood to the skin cells at the surface.
In turn these cell shrink and the fatty deposits below will bulge.
Eat whole grains and drink plenty of water in order to help yourself out.
Secondly, exercise can help a lot.
While it won't completely cure or get rid of cellulite, exercise will definitely increase the flow of blood to the muscles and tissues that need it.
In turn, this keeps skin elasticized and full of collagen, both of which will keep skin thick and strong and less likely to bulge.
Lastly, find a good cellulite cream to add into the mix.
A well-made cream can make a huge difference the battle to reduce cellulite.
It will incorporate both a temporary fix and help with the long-term solution by penetrating deep into the skin to repair the cells there.
Say goodbye to cellulite dimples and hello to smooth, wonderful skin.
