As we grow older, our bodies also start showing mileage bringing changes that often do not leave us happy. Cellulite is one of those body changes that may require more effort to combat as the years go on.
By exercising regularly and eating foods that may help fight cellulite, it is possible to reduce the appearance of cellulite on your body. Following are foods that may help fight cellulite as provided by Women Health.
Oranges, lemons and grapefruit
Oranges and lemons. The skins of these fruits might mirror your dimply tush but these antioxidant powerhouses are rich in free-radical-busting vitamin C that boosts collagen production. Why is that good? Collagen is used to make the connective tissue in skin, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels and so plays an important role in keeping your bum smooth as a baby’s. Lemons are also great for flushing out all those cellulite-causing toxins from the liver.
Chamomile tea
Stress symptoms? When it comes to conquering cellulite, you might want to do something about those. Long-term effects of living highly strung include increased levels of adrenaline and the stress hormone cortisol, which a 2000 study published in the Journal of European Academy of Dermatology showed increases the appearance of cellulite.
Cayenne Pepper and chillies
These are powerful weapons for fighting cellulite. The capsaicin found in the interior walls of the chilli and other hot peppers ignites your body’s metabolism and clears inflammation in the GI tract, therefore assisting with the assimilation of nutrients. Use it in place of salt, which can exacerbate the cellulite situation by promoting cellular water retention and reducing bloating.
Avocado
Fall back in love with the avocado all over. High in good fats and fibre, as well as looking and tasting great, they’re a secret weapon against cellulite. Fibre plays a pivotal part in helping the body to flush out cellulite-forming toxins and balance glucose levels. As if you needed another argument for the benefits of avo-toast.
