Get rid of cellulite - proven methods
One of the most hated shortcomings of the female body is cellulite. It is called orange peel and appears not only on the hips or buttocks, and often even on the shoulders of women, and not only in the fight against excess weight or obesity. This problem can also affect women with the right weight. So, let's look at a few ways that will help you fight cellulite.
What are the types of cellulite?
Effective combat requires, above all, a thorough knowledge of what you want to fight. Cellulite is the so-called orange peel with visible lumps and thickenings on the skin. This is caused by uneven distribution of adipose tissue directly under the skin. Most often, cellulite appears on the hips, thighs, buttocks, and arms. This condition affects mainly women, few men struggle with it.
There is also a phenomenon called water cellulite, which also occurs in slender women and is considered a disease of civilization. It is caused by excess water retention in the body. This can be caused by taking hormone therapy, a passive, sedentary lifestyle, wearing high heels, irregular eating - very salty and spicy.
Cellulite should not be confused with cellulitis, which is a pathological condition. This is an inflammation of the tissue under the skin caused by bacterial activity. Cellulite usually goes hand in hand with high fever. It requires antibiotic therapy, unlike cellulitis.
How to get rid of cellulite?
First of all, it is worth looking at the lifestyle that we lead. If a woman works at a computer for 8-10 hours a day, moves little and eats irregularly, often gravitating towards sweet and salty snacks, cellulite, unfortunately, will become her problem. That is why it is worth taking a comprehensive approach to the fight against cellulite, changing your diet and starting physical activity.
Nutritionists recommend giving up a lot of salt and hot spices in favor of greens. You need to eat about 5 times a day - it is better to eat smaller portions, but more often. The diet should include vegetables, fruits, nuts and sea fish, which are a source of important omega fatty acids. The menu should be supplemented with water - it is worth drinking about 2 liters of still water per day and giving up sugary carbonated drinks. You can make your own flavored water in special bottles with lemon, orange, raspberry and strawberry.
The movement, in turn, is about health and the best weapon in the fight against cellulite. It is worth running, going to the gym, jogging, Nordic walking or rollerblading and cycling.
Another way to combat cellulite are anti-cellulite lotions and peels. Regularly used cosmetics of this type are designed to stimulate lymph circulation, which will definitely reduce cellulite. Before applying an anti-cellulite lotion to the skin, it is worth exfoliating and removing the dead epidermis, so that the active substances in the lotion will penetrate deep into the skin and have a better effect on it.
Good results can also be obtained when using massages that stimulate blood and lymph circulation. To do this, you can buy the appropriate massagers - manual or electric. The shower is also a good massager - alternately dousing the body with cold and warm water will improve blood circulation.
