Simple New Year Changes for Keeping Cellulite Deposits at Bay

What comes in your mind when you hear the word cottage cheese? What about orange peel? Are you imagining a weird cottage cheese and orange peel salad or are you thinking about the tops of your thigh, a relative’s thigh or a celebrity's thigh?

Women over 30 have a 90% chance to be afflicted at one time or another by cellulite. Millions each year are spent fighting cellulite on anti-cellulite creams alone. And wait, there’s more than just creams to tempt us. There are a lot of choices as far as anti-cellulite treatments go.

You can get rid of cellulite deposits by electric currents; you can have injections of homeopathic substances in your bottom; you can be hit by rollers, suction pads and all manner of other implements. You can also sit in a space-age pod; you can be cloaked in seaweed and cling film; you may also want to drink anti-cellulite tea; you can stick to caffeine-loaded anti-cellulite patches on your skin;

Those were pretty impressive lists of treatments for something many scientists claim doesn’t exist, and which the British Medical Journal labels a “non-disease”. As far as cellulite is concerned, in the medical profession, it has two schools of thoughts.

First cellulite is the polite term of saying “fat”, this is a huge con created by the cosmetics industry to part us from our money. You should know that, “Cellulite is no different from any other sort of body fat”, “babies have cellulite too”, and you’d better be off saving your money and walking up the stairs than bothering with any of the hundreds of anti-cellulite creams or treatments on offer. That’s what the doubters think.

Second, it consists of those in the beauty and cosmetics industry spending an awful lot of time, money and energy trying to find a cure. We’re not talking here about those greedy multinationals, but otherwise some respectable types such as doctors and scientists.

Eat a clean, alkaline, unprocessed diet

In order to remove toxins from your body, you must first draw them out from where they have accumulated cells, tissues and organs.

You have to consume alkaline forming foods. The largest part of your diet should consist of fruits and vegetables.

The key here is to steadily increase your fresh produce consumption so that you don’t magnetize out more toxicity than the body can remove. Otherwise, the toxins will just re-circulate and then re-settle. If you want to minimize cellulite and flood your body with alkalinity, get into fresh vegetable juicing.

Hydrate and Flush

Drinking enough pure, clean water and organic hydrations from fresh fruits and vegetables will flush out toxins in your body. Water is important to life and it is also important in reducing and preventing cellulite.

Just look at the effects of dehydration: shriveled, lumpy, aged. This doesn’t make a cellulite free body with smooth, supple skin.

You have to drink pure water every day when you wake up. If you don’t like water straight up, put some lemon or lemon slices.

Avoid coffee and tea as much as possible. But if you can’t resist them, drink enough water and fresh vegetable juice to counter its dehydrating effects and acidity.

Swap your salt

Swap your refined salt for Celtic sea salt or Himalayan crystal salt. Refined salt is acidic and it leaches minerals from your body.

Moving and Sweating

When you exercise, you are also expelling toxins through your skin. This is another avenue of elimination that is best not ignored if you want to get rid of cellulite.

These are few of the tips to reduce cellulite. Choose one to start and make it a daily habit. Just keep doing this and you’ll see the results.
