Fortunately, correct nutrition may be an important addition to professional cellulite treatment. Let’s find out what products may help you fight cellulite.
What Cellulite Is and How to Fight it
Cellulite is a skin condition which occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin. Cellulite is not dangerous for our health, but it may cause psychological discomfort.
The most common causes of cellulite are hormonal disorders, genetic predisposition, stress, and bad blood circulation caused by dysfunction of the lymphatic system. Here are 10 products which may help you reduce this unpleasant skin condition:
1. Bell Peppers
Bell peppers contain more vitamin C than citrus fruit. This vitamin, in turn, is necessary for producing collagen in cells, thus improving the condition of our skin by making it smoother and more elastic.
2. Green Tea
Studies showed that catechin (antioxidant) which is contained in large quantities in green tea, reduces decay of collagen in cells. It’s been proved that green tea leads to higher rates of metabolic processes and weight loss. Matcha is the best form of green tea for energizing, fat-busting, and antioxidant effects.
3. Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper is one of the best-known blood circulation stimulants. By the way, bad blood circulation is one of the common causes of cellulite. Since this pepper supports the lymphatic system, consuming it will aid in removing toxins from your body and reduce the presence of dimpled skin.
You can also achieve good results with topical applications. When you apply the pepper to the affected area, the oil-soluble and water compounds can expand capillaries and boost circulation.
4. Salmon
Fish from the salmon family is a great source of omega-3 fats. These healthy fats provide mobility and stability for all the cell membranes in the body. So, oily fish may be a good addition to your diet if you want to get rid of cellulite.
5. Camomile Tea
Chronic stress increases the level of adrenaline and cortisol in the body. High levels of these hormones may exacerbate cellulite. Try to replace your daily coffee with chamomile tea and you’ll feel much different.
6. Eggs
Collagen is a fibrous protein, of which connective tissue consists. So, the consumption of protein is crucial. The additional advantage of chicken eggs is that they contain proline and lysine—amino acids, which are important for collagen formation.
7. Berries
In addition to vitamin C in berries, they contain the strongest antioxidants, which reduce the influence of free radicals on the skin. As is known, free radicals damage collagen and weaken connective tissue.
8. Bone Soup
Despite the fact that bone soup is an obvious source of collagen, it’s not yet proven that consumption of bone soup increases the quantity of collagen in the body. However, you have no reason to abandon this nutritious dish, which may be a base for soups, casseroles, and stew.
9. Linseed Oil
This oil is full of lignin, phytoestrogen, which controls estrogen levels in the blood. In this way, just one tablespoon of linseed oil a day may contribute not only to reduce cellulite, but to help you to lose weight.
10. Broccoli
Firstly, this vegetable is full of vitamin C, which increases the production of collagen in the body. Secondly, broccoli contains indoles—biologically active substances that help to improve estrogen metabolism.
