Cellulite Fighting Foods #9: Green Tea

What doesn't green tea do? It's not just a great weight loss and detoxifying drink, but now it's a cellulite fighting food as well! Green tea is a weight loss tool simply because it can speed up your metabolism, meaning your body will burn more calories on a daily basis. The more calories you burn every day, the less your body stores in the form of fat--the fat that becomes cellulite.

The antioxidants in green tea will help to refresh and hydrate your skin, as well as combat toxins. Green tea also contains theobromine, a compound that causes your body to release stored fat. Theobromine works with the caffeine in green tea to boost the effectiveness of your body's natural fat burning. Bonus benefits: Green tea can improve brain function, fight cancer, enhance physical performance, reduce the effects of aging, kill bacteria, and improve dental health.
