CELLULITE?!

There is a huge myth about Cellulite that I'd like to clear up first: 90% of women have it, and bad news but nothing will 100% "cure" it.
 
Cellulite refers to the layer of fat underneath the skin that can take on a dimpled appearance because of criss-crossing bits of fibre and connective tissue that go through the fat layer. We all need this layer of fat to stay alive and keep our temperature regulated.
Women are more likely than men to have Cellulite because of the way fat is stored in their bodies (more near the butt, thighs and hips).
People's skin type and thickness will also influence the appearance of cellulite, most women have it, it's just not so visible for some. So, even slim people have cellulite, because yes, even slim people need a layer of fat in order to survive.  
 
If you ask me, creams/lotions/pills that are advertised to reduce Cellulite - the majority won't work. Like fitness and health - there is no quick fix... And to be honest you could rub anything on your legs several times a day and improve the skin - it's called improving blood circulation! Most creams can only treat one component of cellulite –- usually the fat component. Very few are designed to affect the circulation and connective tissues that contribute to cellulite development. To the best of my knowledge, only one cream treats all three aspects of cellulite. And NO cream can treat dimples
HOWEVER, if you absolutely must try one, please opt for a cream with the following ingredients:

• Retinyl Palmitate - to firm and tone the skin
• Caffeine - a natural diuretic which flushes away excess water
• l-Carnitine - an amino acid that metabolizes fat
• Coenzyme-A - to release trapped fat cells
• Bupleurum Falcatum Extract - which creates a natural lipolysis to eradicate fat.

Tips to reduce the appearance of cellulite...

Eat lots of fruits and leafy greens. Opt for Organic food wherever possible because it contains no toxins like pesticides.

Avoid junk food, soft drinks, processed foods, artificial colors and flavors, and saturated fats such as butter and animal fats.

Avoid toxins like alcohol and cigarettes.

Drink a lot of water to hydrate your body and flush out toxins. Eight to ten glasses a day are recommended.

Brush your skin daily, preferably before bathing. The best is a Tampico Skin Brush made with natural agave plant fiber. This simple technique stimulates blood and lymph flow, removes dead skin cells and encourages new cell growth. (Skin brushing is also inexpensive. You can get a good quality body brush for $6-$8)

Maintain your healthiest weight through healthy eating and regular excercise.

Finish your daily shower with a cold rinse to tone your skin and keep hydrated.

The best excercises for improving cellulite are walking, swimming and weight training.
