How Can I Get Rid of Cellulite?

in Body, Misc, Vegan on 04/17/12

cellulite

Cellulite. No one wants it, but most of us have it. Why are so many women affected by this problem? The body/skin tissue of women is much more elastic than men’s, to adapt to the changes their bodies undergo during pregnancy. This “orange peel” looking skin condition is not restricted to curvier women nor is it dependent on weight. Cellulite is not inherited, rather, it is in women’s genetic code.

What causes cellulite?

Cellulite is an imbalance of fat production (lipogenesis) and fat breakdown (lipolysis) within the cells, leading to the formation of large fat cells that bulge towards the surface of the skin, giving it the characteristic dimpled orange peel appearance.

Keep your cellulite in check. Tips to prevent it before it strikes

The weight issue: Try to avoid rapid weight gain or weight loss. The BMI method is a good way to check what your ideal weight should be according to your age and height. Avoid drinks with artificial sweeteners as they have shown to increase sugar cravings, which are detrimental to weight control. Drink plenty of water and eat veggies, fruits and cereals that are high in fiber.

Skinny doesn’t help: Being thin or underweight also doesn’t save a woman from cellulite. Fatty cells that usually buffer the skin are almost gone, leaving “craters” that show as cellulite.

Sport is the best weapon: Though this may be the most challenging, being active is the most effective and healthy way to prevent “orange peel.” Try to exercise daily – 10 minutes for the stomach, thighs and glutes. To further improve results, use anti-cellulite creams.

Swim past it: Swimming is the most effective calorie-burning option. Moreover, cold water helps you burn fat to keep the body at its normal temperature of 98.6 degrees. Thirty minutes 3 times a week will do miracles! Don’t forget to use a anti-cellulite cream afterwards to boost the effect further.

Pinch it: It may sound painful, but massaging and pinching is a long-used method for fighting cellulite. Pinching speeds up metabolism and blood circulation to prevent fat deposits. Or you can try the BelleCore Body Buffer. I’m currently testing one out now and while I haven’t used it enough to tell you if it works (to reduce cellulite), I will say that it is intense! More like a power tool than a beauty tool – so if anything works, I would think the Body Buffer would! It’s also a great massager after workouts. Keep your eyes peeled for a full review and giveaway coming soon.

Cellulite Busting Ingredients:

  • Caffeine is one of the best metabolism boosting ingredients, and used in most topical anti-cellulite treatments.
  • Phlorizin from the fresh green of apple trees helps stop the Lipolysis in the night.
  • HMC or Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone prevent the inflexible bridges between collagenous fibers.
  • Magan boosts the microcirculation and the detoxing during the night.
  • Nagelkrautextrakt helps stop water retention and detoxifies during the night
  • Xanthoxyline from Chinese Szechuan pepper increases fat burning in cells
  • Rutin and Escin minimize fat deposits
  • Ginko Biloba strengthens water drainage
  • Yam root extract prevents the production of receptors that are responsible for lipogenesis
  • Algae improves the skin surface and gives it more elasticity
  • Silica – naturally found in oats or taken in pill form help revitalize and strengthen from the inside

    I LOVE this article. I am extremely passionate about getting rid of cellulite myself. I will say, that the diet you have has much more to do with reducing cellulite than most people think.

    Believe me, I’ve been through a lot of products before. Not until I found out that it is impossible to remove the dimples and shadows (cellulite) by rubbing a weird gel, odd lotion or goopy cream on your trouble areas and problem spots. I found this article, it introduced me into many different things about cellulite. One thing I learned, you have to know what you’re dealing with.

    You know there are many supposed ‘cellulite reduction creams’ on the market today with
    extreme claims. From what I learned (from the blog that I read). There is no possible way for any one of them, even if it is too expensive, to get rid of your cellulite. According to the blog, cellulite is not a skin problem. Its an underlying structural issue, that can only be corrected by reversing the cause of atrophied muscle fibers directly beneath your “cellulite” trouble spots.

    I can only speak from my own experience, here’s the blog cellulitefreeme.info/blog/
    I am not paid to share this blog, I am just amazed because it provides me so many amazing information about cellulite. Good luck and God bless.

    I think cellulite is not a disease. It causes by living unwise, eating high protein foods, don’t follow proper dieting ETC. But this stupid thing can be prevented by following this routine which you have mentioned your article. Thanks for share a nice article. Good Luck!

    Hey, there is the ingredient called Caralluma which is closely related to the cactus plant and it has been known that when ingested it can help fight cellulite. You can read more about it @ http://skinnyfiberingredientsrevealed.blogspot.com.au/.

    Hope this helps.
