Cellulite!
almost never do! Cellulite is actually a skin problem not a fat problem. Even skinny people have it!
Where cellulite is located circulation is an issue. It's hormonal. Circulation tends to be weaker in the
hips, thighs, and butt area and collagen is weaker in these areas due to lack of blood flow and the
result is a cottage cheese effect. Cellulite is caused by water damage and fat cells that come closer to
the surface of the skin and become visible due to this weakening of the skin's structure. What can we
do? Adding hydrating and cell-fortifying ingredients to your diet like glucosamine, essential fatty
acids, amino acids, lecithin and antioxidants may help. A regular fitness regimen to boost circulation
may also help. Drink lots of water to keep the skin and body hydrated! You should also eat more
fruits, vegetable and whole grains to help build collagen. Consume protein in the form of lean meats,
nuts, seeds and eggs, which all contribute to building connective tissue, helping to prevent and
minimize the appearance of cellulite. If we flood our bodies with the nutrients they need we mitigate
the damage and potential for fat to migrate in the space. Stress reduction has also been shown to be
helpful. A regular exercise program can help maintain your stress level. And what about crèmes?
Most don't work, but there are some that increase blood flow with circulation-boosting agents such as
cayenne pepper, cat's claw herb, B vitamins and bioflavonoids, to name a few. I personally use
coconut oil with vitamin E as my body lotion. These really help only the top layerof the epidermis,
but they may be effective when combined with reduced stress, exercise and the proper nutrition.
Well, it's nice to know we're all in it together! :)
