7 Ways to Reduce the Appearance of Cellulite

 

Cellulite is almost like a curse for us women. Cellulite is fat that gets deposited under the skin and get trapped in the cells of the skin.

One fact you have to accept is that you cannot completely get rid of cellulite. You can only reduce its appearance and make its appearance less obvious.

Here are 7 ways we can reduce the appearance of cellulite:

• Hydrate

Water is very essential for the body. Water flushes out toxins and other impurities in the body. So it becomes essential to drink lots of water daily.

Water helps in reducing the appearance of cellulite as it doesn’t let the skin shrivel up and make the cellulite more obvious. It also prevents the further occurrence of cellulite.

• Exercise

Nothing melts cellulite better than a cardio workout. Running, cycling, walking uphill etc… are all rigorous forms of exercise that help melt the type of fat called cellulite then forms in the lower part of our body, mainly the butt and thighs.

Do not expect results overnight. It takes time to see a visible difference.

• Sleep

Your body needs it rest to recover from the cell and tissue damage of its daily activities and it does that while you are asleep. A normal person needs on an average of 7-8 hours of sleep a day to function normally.

Lack of sleep makes a person over eat and snack a lot of unhealthy food, thereby increasing the fat in the body and leading to weigh issues.

• Eat healthy

It not be said, but cutting the fat out from ones diet will help in reducing the cellulite in the body, which is caused by fat deposits under the skin.

Eat a well-balanced diet that contains the right amount of protein, lean meats, whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

• Detox

Flush your body of all the toxins present in it. Water is the medium to flush it all out. You can even do it by switching over to an all fruit and vegetable diet for a week.

Consume foods with alkalinity so that it can draw out all the impurities and cleanse you completely, including unwanted fluids and fats.

• Tone up

When you reduce the fat content in your body, it also becomes important to tone up. Toning the body is essential to target the stubborn areas of cellulite and also give a smooth appearance to your skin.

• Skin massage and brushing

Brushing the skin with a bristled brush helps in increasing the circulation in the cellulite area and also helps break down the fatty deposits that give it the dimpled appearance.

Do this a couple of times a week and see your skin appear smooth.
