The truth is, nearly all women have cellulite. It sort of looks like an orange peel. It is not related to obesity and can be found in both skinny and overweight women. It normally stores itself on thighs, hips and the buttocks. It is more common in women than men. Let’s be honest: It is very hard to get rid off! Even though it is extremely difficult to get rid of entirely, here are some tips to minimize it.

1. Drink H2O: Drink 6-8 glasses of water per day to keep your blood circulating and reduce toxin accumulation. If water is too boring then try herbal teas or add a slice of lemon to your water. Watermelon is really good as well as it is 90% water.

2. Exercise: Putting on a few pounds on can make your cellulite appear worse. A combination of leg toning exercises with cardio activity is the best for keeping that cellulite off. Try to exercise daily if possible.

3. Eat more protein: Water retention can be a part of your cellulite problem. Protein can help as it contains albumin, which helps absorb excess fluid. Try eating fish, lean meats, chicken, tempeh or tofu.

4. Quit Smoking: Smoking can worsen cellulite as it cuts off your skin’s food supply and floods your body with toxins. This can have a detrimental effect on the elasticity of your skin, worsening cellulite. Smoking will also damage your skin by causing premature wrinkles.

5. Body Brush: A body brush helps remove dead skin cells, stimulates blood circulation and boosts your lymphatic flow. Use 3x a week to help with cellulite.

6. Essential Fatty Acids: Their benefits are enormous. In terms of cellulite, they help to strengthen the connective tissues around fat cells making them less dimply. Take 2-3 teaspoons of fish oil daily.
