A Holistic Cellulite Remedy

Cellulite is one of those things that everyone dreads; yet it seems to be an inevitable part of growing older. The dimpled skin or orange peel effect is awful and makes wearing some clothing a no-no and visits to the beach embarrassing. The problem is worse in our body conscious and beauty obsessed society. Yet not all is lost; there is such a thing as a cellulite remedy and there are a few that are inexpensive and easy enough for you to try at home.

Holistic Health

Some of the things that cause cellulite are also the root of other problems such as weight gain, bad skin and insomnia. Good nutrition is the starting point of this cellulite remedy which targets the inside of your body. Healthy balanced meals are the key to well being and maintaining a good diet is the key to preventing and banishing cellulite.

Add many high fiber fruits and vegetables to your meals and drink lots of water. Try adding raw bran to your meals and drinks, such as sprinkling bran on your morning cereal or blending it up in a smoothie. Dehydration is believed to be one of the reasons that people get cellulite so combat this by drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.

Unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinking and eating too much coffee and salty foods also add to the problem of cellulite. Salt can cause water retention which makes cellulite worse so avoid high salt food and try and keep it to a minimum in your food. Caffeine whether in coffee or soda should also be avoided and cut out completely if you can afford to. Of course smoking should be cut out as well if you are serious about finding a cellulite remedy.

Lifestyle Changes

Keeping fit also helps to prevent and remedy cellulite. Lose weight the healthy way through moderate exercise and healthy eating. Losing weight too quickly is indicative of unhealthy weight loss methods and can make your cellulite worse. Include toning and resistance exercises with weights into your workouts. To help the exercise along you can also massage the areas where there is cellulite and press a soft bristled brush in circles around the cellulite.

Learn to relax and take time out to soak in a tub with two cups of sea salt for a half hour every now and then. This will help to condition and smooth your skin. Breathing is also an important part of a natural and holistic cellulite remedy. Most people breathe with very shallow breaths that are ineffective and do not properly cleanse the body. Breathe from deep inside your diaphragm to cleanse the body of toxins and burn fat with the oxygen you absorb. These simple steps will help you towards a holistic remedy for cellulite.
