It is summer time and no one wants to have the unsightly orange peel appearing under their swimwear or shorts. Though there are many cellulite treatments and remedies available in the market ranging from creams to surgical procedures, the best remedy is to change ones diet and lifestyle, which is the safest way to get rid of cellulite. Here are some ways to do it:
Fluids: Staying hydrated not only makes the skin look healthy and supple but it flushes out the toxins, which have accumulated under your skin. Drink plenty of water, fresh fruit juices, eat water rich foods such as cucumber and watermelon, and avoid drinking alcohol, tea and coffee.
Fresh fruits and vegetables: these are rich in vitamin C, which prevents the breakdown of collagen, which makes the skin weak, and lose its elasticity.
Whole grain foods: these foods do not increase insulin levels, which signal the body to store fat. Whole grains are high in fiber, protein and complex carbohydrates all of which help fight cellulite.
Fish: these contain healthy fats and omega 3 fatty acids, which help restore the elasticity of the connective tissue, thereby making the skin appear smoother and reducing the effects of cellulite.
