No doubt that you’ve already read about home remedies to treat and
get rid of cellulite, but still are unknown the factors that cause the
problem and make it more visible.
Maybe that’s why the natural treatments or creams are not giving the results you expect. In this article, you can learn about the foods that are responsible for increasing
cellulite.
What causes and what makes cellulite worse?
The so-called “orange peel skin” is a problem faced by all women (or the vast majority) and appears mainly in the thighs and buttocks. It is very uncomfortable for every woman and there is no woman who doesn’t want to know how to get it out of the skin.
In addition to avoiding the use of very tight pants and remain seated for many hours every day, it is good to also avoid the following foods:
Candy
Yes, we know they are delicious and we can not live without them. But to have a smooth skin and to avoid unpleasant orange peel skin, we need to reduce to a minimum the consumption of sweets, especially those industrial sold in supermarkets.
Eating candy increases the amount of fat in the body and makes the problem with cellulite even worse. Biscuits, pancakes, chocolates and candies are delicious, but at the same time are high in trans fats, which are bad for the body.
Excess sugar in teas is also bad, especially if we use refined sugar because it doesn’t turn into energy, but accumulates in different parts of the body, especially the legs, hips and abdomen. So the best option would be to replace sugar with stevia or brown sugar. Also there is like a health version of sweets, which is the dark chocolate.
Fats
The food we currently eat is full of bad trans fats for our health. The hamburgers, pizzas, fries, hot dogs, chips and everything that is sold in fast food restaurants are a number enemies of our body, including our skin. They cause an accumulation of fats that soon appear in the form of unsightly holes in our thighs and butt.
Also avoid to consume whole milk (not skim), especially margarine, whipped cream, sour cream and butter.
Fried foods should also be reduced and eliminated from our nutrition. The meat group that is not advisable for women who want to reduce cellulite are red and embedded (salami, ham, sausage, bacon and sausage).
Salt
Sodium (or all foods containing sodium in large quantity) is an enemy to our health in many ways. First because it causes fluid retention, a perfect condition for the appearance of cellulite. It is advisable not to consume more than 1.5 grams of salt per day.
So choose not to cook with too much salt, use herbs to flavor the food and avoid taking salt to the table to avoid the temptation to add more to the dish. Also, opt for sea salt or Himalayan salt (pink) instead of ordinary table salt.
It is also advisable to reduce the consumption of salty appetizers like chips or some types of cheese.
Soft drinks
This type of drink is not only bad for your skin health but also for your overall health. Soft drinks have too much sugar and harmful chemicals.
Some believe that consuming zero or light version of these products is the best option, but that’s a false fact. Always choose to drink water. If you are not used to consume a lot of water, choose natural fruit juices or cold herbal teas.
Coffee
Its main component (caffeine, also present in soft drinks) can harm the skin condition. But beware! This happens when consuming coffee as a drink. Otherwise, it can be used as exfoliating scrub in order to reduce cellulite. It is advisable to take no more than 2 or 3 cups of coffee per day, with a little brown sugar, milk or cream.
Refined flours
Those with white colour that are present in most things we eat daily. Bread, crackers, rice and pasta. If these foods are not made with whole grain will be bad for your cellulite reduction plan.
This is due to the fact that this type of flour has a lot of difficult yeast to metabolize. If you’re the type of person who can not live without eating bread, choose to prepare it yourself with whole wheat flour, for example (or half with whole wheat flour and half with common flour).
If you prefer to buy bread, always opt for those dark in color with seeds.
Sauces
Mayonnaise and mustard, as well as spicy sauces and tomato sauce, are also declaring a war to your skin and are causing cellulite. You can prepare sauces using more natural herbs and spices, and can also reduce gradually the consumption of these products, especially those who you buy at the supermarket.
Instead of the industrial tomato sauce, opt for preparing natural homemade tomato sauce, for example. Do not add mayonnaise to everything you eat or if you like a lot, try to make it with egg and lemon juice (lemon can help you to not consume as much mayonnaise with meals). In health food stores you can also find mustard seeds and prepare your own recipe.
