Most women are no stranger to the word âcellulite.â In fact, this skin-dimpling appearance is thought to be a problem for 80% - 90% of women post-puberty.
Unfortunately, there's no outright cure for cellulite - the fat deposits which appear just below the surface of the skin and give that cottage cheese, dimpled effect.
But, wait - there is good news! There are ways to fight and decrease its appearance by incorporating just a few simple changes to our daily routine.
Letâs take a look at some easy cellulite-busting suggestions!
Stay hydrated
One of the easiest ways to lessen the appearance of these persistent dimples is by increasing our water intake.
If you donât like the taste of pure water, add a slice of lemon or fresh mint, or switch a few glasses of water for rooibos or green tea instead
You should aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day
Get moving
Get up from your desk at least once a day, take a short walk over lunch, and choose an exercise class, activity or workout DVD that you enjoy
Cardiovascular exercise increases the blood circulating throughout your body and in turn enhances skin circulation
Incorporate weight training into your exercise routine and youâll help decrease the appearance of cellulite by building muscle
Eat right
Indulging and giving in to that greasy burger and chips, or that double helping of gooey chocolate cake on a particularly bad day isnât going to do your body any favours. Even worse, it does nothing to help the appearance of your skin.
Rather stick to healthy and fresh foods, especially fruits such as papayas and mangoes that are thought to help prevent tissue damage. Dark berries are said to boost antioxidant levels, stimulating collagen production - which may lessen the appearance of dimples
For veggies, try broccoli and peas as they help fight inflammation of the connective tissue
Stop stressing
Stress and cellulite are not friends. When youâre stressed, youâre more likely to indulge in alcohol, caffeinated drinks, high-sugar or salty foods, or cigarettes - all toxic-forming substances which are bad for us. Not only that, your muscles tense up when youâre stressed and this stops the free flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the skin.
Yoga and meditation are two beneficial ways to decrease stress
Meditation helps you feel more calm and relaxed, while yoga has the added benefit of toning and stretching your muscles - helping your skin tp look smoother
Even though we canât banish cellulite for good, we can still fight it. By fighting it, weâre allowing good habits to form that are so much better for our bodies. And the best part? Weâre left feeling more confident and happier with our overall body image. Take that, cellulite!
