Cellulite Fighting Foods #14: Chilli Peppers

Definitely my favorite food on this list, chilli peppers--while spicy and often hard to eat--are one of the best cellulite fighting foods to add to your diet! Spicy peppers are rich in capsaicin, a compound that gives them their sting and their rich smell. The capsaicin increases your body's internal temperature in a process called thermogenesis, which increases your metabolism. The more fat you burn, the less fat there is to build up beneath your skin and cause cellulite.   [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="768"] Source: painneck.com[/caption] Capsaicin is also an excellent appetite suppressant, stopping you from overeating and consuming too many calories. Chili peppers are loaded with Vitamin C, a vital collagen-forming nutrient that keeps your skin strong and fresh. You can get more potassium and Vitamin E from chili peppers, both of which fight cellulite. All in all, cayenne and chili peppers are some of the best foods to fight your cellulite from the inside out! Bonus benefits:Spicy peppers also fight swelling, provide relief from pain, boost circulation, improve cardiovascular health, clear congested airways, and increase immune function.
