How to Prevent Cellulite

Cellulite is a condition where fat builds up in the dermis, the layer under the skin, and presses up on the skin causing dimples, or wrinkles in the skin. The “cottage cheese� look that it produces usually occurs in the thighs, buttocks, hips and the abdomen. People that are overweight and inactive are especially prone to developing cellulite. Women are more likely to develop cellulite than men because of hormonal differences in their body chemistry and their less active lifestyles. Click

Factors In Cellulite Formation

Diet, hereditary, maturity, sex, the amount of fat that you have in your body and the consistency of your skin are all contributors to the development of cellulite. Your standard of living can also play a significant role in the appearance of these annoying clusters of cellulite. People that avoid the buildup of cellulite tend to lead physically active lifestyles and have low fat dietary habits.

Checking For Cellulite

If you look at your stomach, hips, thighs or buttocks and you see ripples that look bumpy, like orange peels, that confirms the diagnosis. If the cellulite is not visible at first glance, just pinch your skin in any of those areas where you suspect

it might be and you will know if you have cellulite. If the skin appears lumpy, or looks like “cottage cheese”, then you have it.

Once you have confirmed that you have cellulite to one degree or another, don’t feel alone, because you certainly are not. Studies show that 80% of women will develop cellulite at some point in their life. Even young girls between 10 to 16 years of age can develop cellulite.

Men can also get cellulite formations, but active men tend to avoid it. As America becomes fatter, the occurrence of cellulite is increasing amongst the growing sector of overweight men and women.

Managing Cellulite

There is no doubt, that the best way to control cellulite is to eat a low fat, high fiber diet in conjunction with a regular, vigorous physical exercise program. Exercise causes your body’s metabolism to increase and burns the excess fat that contributes to cellulite development. Messaging the affected areas helps to breakdown the fat deposits so that they can be removed from the body via the sweat glands as you exercise.

Eliminating Cellulite

Dermatologists agree that staying in good physical condition and a healthy diet are major contributors to reducing cellulite formation. Let’s take a look at 2


some of the things that you can do that will help to reduce, and eventually eliminate, cellulite from your body.

Establishing a healthy diet should be the first step in your quest to rid yourself of cellulite. Cellulite is caused by fat build up, so it is only logical that you should limit your intake of fatty foods if you want to get rid of cellulite. Avoid foods that contain saturated fat because fatty foods are hard to metabolize and will end up as fat deposits in the body.

It is important that you stay away from processed foods and try to limit your carbohydrate intake. Processed foods and carbohydrates are loaded with sugar and sugar produces fat. In addition, these types of foods are complicated to digest, particularly while you are sleeping and they put a lot of pressure on your pancreas during the process. What is not completely digested is left in the body as fat.

Be sure to drink plenty of water during the day, because water helps the body to remove

toxins from the food that you consume.

Fresh fruits and

vegetables should be the mainstay of your diet because they are high in fiber and anti-oxidants. Fiber helps the body to remove fats and anti-oxidants fight the cellulite producing toxins that we ingest with our food. Try to eat smaller portions of food more often during your day, because this aids the digestive process.

Physical exercise is essential in eliminating cellulite because exercise burns fat, and fat is what causes cellulite. Regular physical exercise, such as aerobics, running and workout classes raises your heart rate and causes the body to burn fat. 3


Exercise also builds muscle and promotes proper blood flow. Increased blood circulation helps to firm the connective tissue between the cells and strengthens the cell walls in the dermis. Strong cell walls in both the fat cells of the dermis and the skin cells of the epidermis, work to limit the formation of cellulite.

Treat Your Body Right

If you eat right and exercise, your body is better able to rid itself of unwanted fats and toxins that can lead to the formation of cellulite. Research studies show that substances that contain toxins such as coffee, tea, alcohol and tobacco inhibit the body’s digestive system and slow the body’s ability to dispose of wastes, which can promote cellulite. These things develop over time, so it is important to realize that what took years to develop will take time to correct.

Vitamin supplements can really help your body to get back on right track. Once you have changed your mindset about what you consume and how you exercise, you will see marked results as you put your anti-cellulite plan into effect. You will not only rid yourself of your cellulite, you will be leading a much healthier life that will serve you well as you age.
