7 Ways You Can Get Rid of Cellulite
By Patricia Wagner
Ladies, take a good look at your legs and thighs in the
mirror. Are these areas covered with dimples? You'll
probably agree that dimples that appear when someone smiles
are cute, but dimples on your body are ugly!
Did you know that cellulite consists of pockets of fat
located just beneath connective tissues under your skin?
These fatty deposits swell underneath constraining
connective tissues -- giving that dreaded orange peel
effect. You might be surprised to learn that even if you
are slender, you can still have cellulite deposits.
It isn't a dangerous condition, but it is embarrassing.
It's very common among adult women.
Cellulite is hereditary, so if your mother had it -- you'll
probably accumulate dimpled fat deposits as well.
There are a number of factors that contribute to the
formation of cellulite -- such as not drinking enough
water. Eating too many junk foods will also contribute to
it, so be sure most of your calories come from healthy
foods instead of junk food. Avoid smoking because that can
result in more cellulite. Get plenty of exercise too.
Medical science constantly discovers new ways to treat a
variety of diseases -- including ways to fight cellulite.
It's tough to get rid of cellulite and there is no magic
cure for it, but there are some treatments that just may
work for you.
Here are seven ways that you can fight cellulite:
1. Include cardiovascular exercise in your exercise
routine on a regular basis. Your heart needs to be beating
fast enough to increase your circulation to help reduce
your cellulite deposits.
2. Eat healthy foods and drink healthy drinks. For
example, avoid sugary soft drinks and drink clear water
instead. Don't choose pizza and other fattening main
dishes on a regular basis, but eat lots of fresh fruits and
vegetables instead.
3. Try different cellulite lotions or creams to see if they
work for you, but check the ingredients first to see if you
are allergic to any of them.
4. A machine was invented in France a while back that uses
rollers and suction to gently fight cellulite. It's called
the endermologie machine and some believe that its deep
massage treatment increases circulation and releases toxins
from your body when your connective tissues are stretched.
This method requires a number of treatments. Although an
individual treatment is not that expensive, the cost can go
up because numerous treatments may be required before any
of your cellulite deposits disappear.
5. A treatment from Austria -- called vacuum therapy --
may work for you. You'll have to wear a specially
designed suit while you spend about a half an hour on a
treadmill. The muscles of your abdomen will get a real
workout in this method. If you suffer with a heart
condition or circulatory problems, this treatment is not
for you.
6. It may be that you are not overweight at all but still
have cellulite deposits. If that's the case, you might
want to try the ionithermic body treatment method. This
method employs thermal clay combined with electrical
impulses and specially-made pads.
7. The most expensive treatment is cosmetic surgery, such
as liposuction. And that's because a plastic surgeon is
required.
So there you have it -- 7 treatment options. So if you
have cellulite, you are not necessarily sentenced to have
it for the rest of your life. Because of medical research,
help is available.
