The Skinny on Cellulite

By Karen Sessions NSCA-CPT

Is
cellulite keeping you from wearing those sexy shorts or that
mini-skirt? Do you refrain from wearing swimsuits, for fear your
cellulite will shine through?

Cellulite
is a great frustration for many women. Out of desperation, many ladies
turn to quick fixes such as creams, lotion, and potions that promise
slimmer thighs in a matter of days.

Before you can eliminate the cellulite problem, you first have to identify what exactly it is.

Cellulite
is a mass collection of fat deposits and toxins compacted beneath the
skin, which has not been eliminated by the body. Women are usually
victims of this unsightly orange-peel and cottage cheese bulge can be
on your arms, stomach, hips, thighs, buttocks, and other areas. Men can
even have cellulite and it's usually located on their neck and stomach
area.

So does that mean only
those individuals overweight get cellulite? Not necessarily. Slim women
and those in their ideal weight range can still develop this unsightly
condition. While having excess weight will be a contributing factor for
cellulite, it's not the resulting cause.

Fancy-smanchy
cellulite creams on the market may help smooth the cellulite appearance
temporarily, usually 8-24 hours, but these creams do not get to the
source of the problem to get rid of cellulite.

Some Cellulite Busting Tactics

While
banishing cellulite is not a one-shot approach, you can still have some
success in diminishing it. Don't expect to be cellulite-free in a
matter of days. You didn't develop the condition overnight and
therefore it's going to take some time to reverse the problem.

Drink Up

Drinking
water is a great way to get your body working properly. Ninety percent
of the people walking around are dehydrated. A dehydrated body cannot
function as nature intended.

Water
aids in digestion, circulations, flushing fat and toxins out, and
usually the single most missing element in most people's diet.

Balanced Diet

Many
people still have the no-fat mentality. Natural fat is absolutely
essential for a healthy diet, mind, and body. Natural fat does not
cause or contribute to cellulite. Natural fat is responsible for
nutrient transportation and absorption, building hormones, and a whole
host of other great functions. Trans fat is the enemy. Stay away from
man-made fat if you want to beat cellulite.

Exercise

No
doubt, exercise is beneficial for getting rid of cellulite, as it
increases circulation and builds lean muscle tissue. You should include
both aerobic (cardiovascular) and anaerobic (resistance training)
exercise into your daily life.

Detoxing

Detoxing
your body can greatly help in the cellulite battle. You'd be absolutely
amazed at the garbage that's trapped inside your cells and lodged in
your fat stores. A good detox should include organic foods and filtered
water. Avoid processed foods, colas, smoking and alcohol.

These
are just a few of the basics to getting a step ahead of the cellulite
game. If you are consistent and keep a healthy lifestyle, you can kick
cellulite in its dimples and never have it return.
