Cellulite can blight your life. It is very unsightly and women, especially, are prone to developing cellulite – especially round the buttocks and thighs.
After a winter of hunching over the fire, eating comfort foods and taking very little exercise, when the better weather appears and we throw off our winter woollies and try on the miniskirts and bikinis, we are horrified by all the unsightly lumps and bumps and wrinkles round our nether regions especially.
However, don’t despair; there are many cellulite remedies, most of which are simple and only require a little thought and some self control.
There are also many creams and preparations on the market which, used in conjunction with simple exercises and sensible diet, can be of great benefit. Although cellulite might not disappear completely, it can be camouflaged.
Some of the main causes of developing cellulite can be overweight, poor diet, lack of exercise and in post-natal women, high levels of oestrogen in the body, which cannot be got rid of by the body’s waste system.
If your mother had cellulite, the chances are you will develop it also. However if you cut down your intake of caffeine and alcohol and eat, as far as possible, high fibre foods, fresh fruit and vegetables, (onions are supposed to be very good in helping to reduce cellulite) you will soon see the benefit and you will also feel so much better and more energetic that you will enjoy exercising! Try to cut down on your intake of extra salt and fat, drink lots of water and give up smoking!
Massaging, either at home or in the salon helps to increase the circulation and thus breaks down the cellulite. There are lots of lovely creams and oils on the market, which are helpful, smell lovely, and make you feel good as well as diminishing cellulite. If you feel like really pampering yourself, treat yourself to a massage. There are some salons which specialise in the treatment of cellulite.
Exercise is always beneficial, not only in the reduction of cellulite but also in the improvement of general fitness and health and if you persevere, you will soon find that the cellulite has diminished, your whole body, as well as your bottom and thighs are nice and firm and you feel fit and happy and in order to show off this ‘new you’ you will just have to go out and buy yourself a stunning new bikini because you will not have a trace of cellulite!
