Summer or winter, we always wear skirts, dresses as they emanate femininity, seduction, sensuality. And let’s not talk about the intimate life in which physical appearance is very important.
To understand how we can combat cellulite without resorting to cosmetic treatments or even surgery we have to straighten out what cellulite is. Improperly called “cellulitis” (this would mean subcutaneous fat tissue inflammation, a serious situation indeed), it is represented by the accumulation of lipid material in the subcutaneous fat cells. By increasing the volume of fat cells, local traffic changes, the intake of oxygen and nutrients becomes insufficient and a series of fat cells break, eliminating their content into intercellular space. Here a minimal inflammatory process develops, resulting in the final secretion of connective elements, fatty tissue fibers that organize into “meshes” which bind to the deep skin stretching it. This way the skin gets an “orange peel” look of. It is thus obvious that once installed, cellulite removal is difficult, it requires time, patience and a lot will.
What causes cellulite?
Cellulite is favored by a wide variety of causes, e.g. excessive exposure to sun, sedentary lifestyle, variations of sex hormones, sex, physical inactivity, improper or chaotic diet, poor hydration, lack of vitamins etc.
Cellulite diet
A cellulite diet should be associated with mild exercise. This is the quickest way to lose weight and get rid of cellulite. You should eat foods rich in fiber and vitamins but which have significant effects on the skin and subcutaneous tissue, such as:
• Vitamin A is involved in the regeneration of epithelial cells, skin cells in particular.
• Vitamin B complex is involved in many metabolic processes, in maintaining healthy tissues. It accelerates calorie burning, maintains skin hydration and subcutaneous tissue, etc.
• Vitamin C is very important in oxidative processes. It is one of the most potent antioxidants in the body and it is also involved in collagen formation, which maintains the structure of the subcutaneous tissue.
