Easy Methods For Cellulite Reduction And Prevention

This article will give a brief list of ways to adjust your diet and lifestyle for cellulite reduction and prevention.

The point of these foods is to tighten up the skin and the muscles so that they remain strong. This will help keep the cellulite far beneath the skin where it will not be visible. It is when the cel bodies and cel tissues weaken that fat is able to break through closer to the surface of the skin and be more visible to the eye. That is what causes the “cottage cheese” type appearance of the skin.

So you see, it is not necessarily tied to being overweight. It is tied to skin and muscle strength.

So your two objectives are first to tighten up those cel walls, and second to reduce overall fat in the body.

You should look for food that contains vitamins, fibres, and minerals. Avoid foods with “empty” calories, meaning calories that do not provide any nutritional value. Such foods will help regulate the process of energy production in the system, besides diminishing the absorption of fat of foods and controlling the restoration of tissues, keeping your skin healthy and stunning.

Drink eight glasses of water minimum a day. Hydrating the body and making sure all the tissues and cels have enough water is important so they may continue to work well and remain strong. This will also help with toxin elimination in the body for cellulite treatment. Water is also a great way to lengthen the duration of time you are eating which can help you “fool” the stomach. It can also get rid of cravings so you won’t overeat but it won’t get rid of hunger so you know when your body will genuinely need some nutrition.

Going on with this point, think about eating for sustenance. This means your body will get hungry when it needs nourishment. It’s important to satisfy hunger versus satisfy cravings. Cravings are things your body wants, not what it needs, and can lead to consuming food that won’t help you in your cellulite reduction plan. Most people eat too much at meals, and what the body cannot use at that time it will store as fat.

Eating for sustenance also means eating many small meals throughout the day instead of fewer large meals. Think of it this way: your body is constantly burning calories, so to be effective you should frequently feed it calories. Any extra calories your body cannot use at that time will be stored for later use (a.k.a. fat). This will help your body get nutrition and calories when it needs it to keep them functioning optimally AND store less calories as fat.

Another tip is to eat slower. Be sure to chew properly and slowly. If you are eating a sandwich, put it down between bites. If you are using utensils, put those down between bites. When we are holding our utensils or food, we will tend to eat it faster. The brain sometimes takes 20 minutes or so to receive signals from the digestive hormones that food is being consumed. This means no matter how much food you eat whether it is exactly the amount your body requires or three or five times the amount your body requires, your brain may not know about it until the 20 minute mark after you’ve started eating. So you could be filling yourself too much but not feel full until the 20 minute mark.

Here are some extra tips to prevent cellulite:

– When considering protein sources, think of leaner protein sources such as egg whites, white meat, lean red meat, and soy. Choose grilled or baked over fried.

– As another tip, avoid greasy foods and oily foods altogether.

– Choose having food that lack refined sugar. Some of these are the pasta, potatoes and fruits. If you feel like eating a candy, prefer a cereal bar.

– Avoid using excessive oil during the preparation of the food.

– Consume fibrous foods: this is a great source of energy and also will cleanse your digestive tract.

– Try to reduce your sodium/salt intake.

– Also when you prepare meals, reduce the salt you use. Remove the salt shaker from view.

– Do not take sodas and alcoholic beverages, because they only provide calories and possess no nutritional value. Prefer juices or water. Occasionally, red wine may be okay for its antioxidant values.

Lastly, recall dieting is only half of it. Exercise is just as important if not more important. Exercise for strength, cardio, and flexibility. This will help you lose fat, build muscle, and build strong skin and cel walls.

Your one-two punch of what you eat combined with how you eat will definitely be a great step towards cellulite reduction and overall health. Add in the exercise and you are on your way not to just fighting cellulite but overall health.
