The Best Way To Fight Cellulite
September 1, 2008
When it comes to cellulite, there are no miracles to be expected. However, a combination of good eating and exercise habits, stress reduction and occasional spa treatments, may help one get smooth body skin. Massage helps in effective blood circulation and definitely assists in cellulite reduction. Skin exfoliation leaves it soft and silky, while increased circulation also gives a natural energy boost.
The only way to prevent and fight cellulite is to detoxify and purify the body with a combination of exercise, a healthy diet, tension reduction and proper circulation.
The best way to fight cellulite is to go on a detoxifying diet, eating lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods. It also means eliminating coffee, soda, cigarettes and alcohol. A low-fat diet, high in fibre and complex carbohydrates, is important because the body can break down, use and get rid of these foods, easily. The body finds it harder to eliminate sugar, starch, salt, spices and animal fats. A low-fat diet reduces toxins and assists in getting rid of toxins that get trapped in the tissue. Drink plenty of water, up to two litres a day, to assist the body in getting rid of unwanted toxins and waste.
Exercise is extremely important when it comes to aiding proper circulation. It also firms up muscles and tissue surrounding them.
Massage not only pampers, but also helps fight and prevent cellulite. It also restores the body’s natural tendencies by manipulating muscles, and stimulating the circulatory and lymphatic systems to break down fatty tissue. Massage targets areas that are difficult to stimulate with good old exercise e.g. the inner knee and upper thigh. Simply, try massaging each leg in circular movements, kneading the flesh as you go, for a couple of minutes each day to break down fat and get rid of toxins.
Use a massage brush or glove to brush skin a couple of minutes each day to boost circulation. Start at the feet, brushing the skin in upward movements. Doing this daily before your shower helps revitalize and improve the skin’s appearance.
Tension not only stresses muscles, but also causes the connective tissue covering the muscles to seize up. Tension blocks tissues and prevents good waste elimination. Relaxation and breathing help the body relax and function properly. Proper breathing eases tension, oxygenates the body and helps purify it.
