Home Remedies for Cellulite
It is no secret that the medical profession takes full advantage of the public's loathing for the effects of cellulite development. The dimpling effect of cellulite under the skin is caused by the swelling of subdermal fat cells pushing around the connective tissues that hold the cells together. A multi million dollar industry of creams, lotions and even invasive surgery and injections will still fail to rid you of cellulite. At its best, you can only hope to reduce the amount of fat cells that are causing the problem.
The best, most effective, remedies for cellulite can be done at home. For beginners, one must reinvent their diet to include healthier food choices. Whole grain foods containing barley, rye, millet or oats all contribute their share in the battle against cellulite buildup. The secret is in high fiber, low fat foods. This can be found in fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains. Making sure to get a full daily compliment of vitamins D and E will also help strengthen the skin against the worst of the dimple effect.
A light but continuous program of exercise is another very effective home remedy for the reduction of cellulite. While you will not be required to "pump iron" and become a body builder, a full range of motion exercises like speed walking and aerobics will be quite useful in burning off the excess fat cells that are the reason for the cellulite development in the first place. Decreasing or eliminating the consumption of alcohol will also aid the cellulite reduction as alcohol slows down the digestive process and makes the body store more food as fat for processing at a later time.
One more life change can also add to the good results of decreasing cellulite dimples. Giving up cigarettes and seeking a less stressful lifestyle has also shown itself to aid in reducing the problem that underlies cellulite development.
