Cellulite-It is an equal-opportunity offender!

What is cellulite?

Its the uneven, lumpy skin usually seen on your hips, thighs and buttocks!  It occurs when the skin overlying certain areas of fat is pulled downward to the deeper tissues by connective tissue bands and creates an uneven surface.  It affects women more than men because we have different fat, muscle and connective tissue distribution.  It can be caused by hormones, poor diet, an unhealthy lifestyle, accumulated toxins, genetics, weight gain and inactivity!

Thankfully its not harmful but man its a nuisance! 

Are you getting tired of the stubborn cellulite, especially now before the shorts and swimsuits come out?

I am going to share three simple lifestyle changes can have a big impact on your battle with cellulite.

1. Start your day with a glass of warm lemon water immediately after waking. Squeeze one organic lemon into a 16 oz glass and enjoy as you would tea! Lemon helps to break down the food that you will be consuming during the day as well as remove any toxins from your body. Proper hydration improves your skin’s health and helps reduce the appearance of cellulite, wrinkles, and blemishes.

2. Up your cranberry intake. Consuming between 8 and 12oz of cranberries or cranberry juice per day helps to emulsify fat and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Frozen cranberries can be enjoyed as a mid-day treat or throw a bottle of Cran-Water in your bag while on the go. Make your own Cran-Water by filling up a bottle with 4 oz of cranberry juice and 28 oz of water, twice daily. Cranberries are loaded with vitamins such as A, B1, C, and E, all essentials to the removal of toxins in your lymphatic system.

3. Substitute your cooking oil, swapping out canola oil for coconut oil. Coconut oil is not only more beneficial for overall health, but studies have shown that coconut oil aids in the breakdown of fat cells that make up cellulite. Add a tablespoon to a fruit smoothie or whip up some banana coconut pancakes. Switching from canola oil to coconut oil has multiple benefits for you, your skin, and your health.

Bonus tips: Add 3 tablespoons of coconut oil to a warm bath.  Sweating out toxins is crucial to the reduction of cellulite. The coconut oil will not only make your skin feel incredibly smooth but will increase the release of toxins during your bath. Make sure to stay hydrated before and after your soak.   

Move your body!  Exercise can help you reduce body fat which will help make the cellulite less noticeable.  Choose an exercise routine that will focus on the area that you are prone to cellulite.

Start Dry brushing!  This technique stimulates blood and lymph flow, removes dead skin cells and stimulates new cell growth.  

Anyone can suffer from cellulite; it is an equal-opportunity offender.

The best results come from consistency and determination with a healthy daily routine. Stick with one, not only for your cellulite but for your overall health!
