An important part of cellulite prevention is to understand what it is and what you're dealing with. Cellulite is described as collections of fat that are pushing against the connective tissues under a person's skin. While fat is one of the main causes for cellulite, there are several other factors that should be considered: Genetics Hormones, primarily estrogen Diet and lifestyle Gender Age Skin thickness Poor functioning lymphatic system These alternative factors explain why cellulite is prevalent in many women, even the ones who appear to be at a healthy weight. By gaining a better understanding of cellulite, you can begin making changes in your diet or lifestyle to help prevent this skin condition. Cellulite Busting Exercises: The dead lift is a great way to shape your butt and help prevent cellulite from forming. Place your weights on the ground in front of you and spread your legs shoulder length apart. Bend over and pick the weight up, bend your knees slightly. Stand up with the weight and straighten your legs. Reverse Lunge The reverse lunge strengthens and stretches your upper thighs and tones your buttocks. If you want to make the workout harder and more effective, get your TBar or Sandbag involved while you do the lunges. Stair Steps If you have a flight of stairs in your home or even a few steps that lead to your basement, you have everything you need to do this exercise that is proven to fight cellulite and give you a booty that is to die for. Jump Rope Jumping uses all of the muscles in your legs. Jumping rope is fun and easy for most people to do. You can buy a jump rope at most toy stores and sporting good stores. Try to do as many reps as possible in one minute, rest for a minute and then jump for another minute. Improve your time each workout. Running Running is an easy workout that you can do anywhere.

Cellulite busting foods:  Water  Water is the key for reducing cellulite. Drinking Water helps flush out toxins in the body which will significantly help reduce cellulite over time. Cellulite Busting Foods #1: Fruits and Vegetables Below is a list of the most effective cellulite busting fruits and vegetables and you need to add these to your daily diet. Please note that you should aim for at least 8-10 servings per day to see the results you’re looking for: Berries – raspberries strawberries blackberries blueberries Apples Oranges Papaya Avocado (also a source of healthy fats) Grapefruit Broccoli Bok choy Spinach Cauliflower Brussels sprouts Cabbage Peppers Mushrooms Onions Kale Cucumber Celery Tomatoes All fruits and vegetables can be eaten on a cellulite reduction plan, but the foods in the list above will give you the best ‘bang for your buck’! Cellulite Busting Foods #2: Lean Proteins Once these fruits and veggies are in your plan (and they should form the basis of your diet)… Then it’s time to focus on adding plenty of lean proteins. These should preferably those that are either very low in fat or high in omega fatty acids. Omega fats are critical for keeping your body running properly and ensuring muscle growth is formed while fat burning is increased. Protein rich foods also serve to boost your metabolism, so you can earn top marks for promoting a faster rate of fat loss overall. The main protein rich foods to focus on include: Chicken breast Turkey breast (white meat) Salmon Mackerel Cod Tilapia Perch Shrimp Crab Lobster Scallops Quail Lean steak Bison Venison Egg whites (with the occasional whole egg) Cellulite Busting Foods #3: Dairy In addition to animal based protein sources, you’ll also want to focus on eating a few dairy products as well. You’ll want to keep your intake of dairy to around 1-2 servings per day, but do make sure it’s in there. When dieters consume low-fat dairy products as part of their diet plan, they show increased rates of fat loss from the abdominal region in particular… So you don’t want to miss out on the potential benefits it holds. Plus, it’s also a great source of protein as well as calcium, two vital nutrients you need in your diet plan. The best sources of dairy products to focus on are: Cottage cheese Greek yogurt Hard cheeses Be careful that you don’t choose other dairy products or you’ll be taking in an abundance of saturated fat, which is definitely not what you want! Cellulite Busting Foods #4: Healthy Fats After your protein is in place, then we turn to healthy fats. Healthy fats are going to be vital for providing a long-term source of energy to your body… As well as making sure that you keep your hormonal levels where they need to be and skin health optimal. Diets that are too low in healthy fats, especially the omega fats, can bring about cellulite faster… So you’ll definitely want to ensure you are getting enough! Keep in mind that foods containing healthy fats are quite calorie dense, therefore it is essential to monitor your portion sizes properly so you aren’t over-consuming and gaining weight. The best sources of healthy fats include: Nuts and natural nut butter Seeds Flaxseeds and flaxseed oil Olive oil Coconut oil Avocado Salmon, mackerel, and sardines - Some of these healthy fats also contain protein, so will help you get your intake of that nutrient up as well. Cellulite Busting Foods #5: Complex Carbohydrates Finally, we come to complex carbohydrates. You don’t want to overdo these as they can lead to weight gain if you aren’t careful… But taking in a few of the best sources in moderation can help boost exercise performance. It will also help with muscle building, which will be critical to firming up the areas where you have cellulite present and reducing its appearance. The best sources of complex carbohydrates include: Steel cut oatmeal Brown and wild rice Quinoa Couscous Barley Sweet potatoes Munch on these only around your workout period or first thing in the morning and you’ll gain the best benefits. So there you have the main foods that you should be focusing on to help banish cellulite from your body. Beauty Treatments & Things That Will Help Banish Cellulite: Gelatin Used as a major source of dietary protein, it’s an easy way to restrict the amino acids associated with premature ageing – and also note that Cellulite is actually just a collagen deficiency. (Dr. Catherine Shanahan) Dry Body Brushing Give yourself a good dry body brushing. This relaxing form of exfoliation helps to stimulate circulation, detox the lymphatic system, shed dead skin cells and reduce cellulite. Creams & Moisturizers: Look for a cellulite skin cream that includes ingredients like retinol, & Q10, which thickens and improves circulation in the skin; caffeine, which can reduce the size of the fat cells that cause cellulite; and alpha hydroxy acids, which improve the overall texture of skin by helping to rid it of dead cells. These creams are most effective when combined with a targeted diet and exercise program. Exercise can reduce body fat while building and toning muscle, which may be the key to actually getting rid of some of your cellulite for good. While further study is needed to support the benefits of drinking more water to reduce cellulite, some nutritionists and skin care specialists suggest that increasing your water intake can help prevent cellulite. This theory is based on the assumption that cellulite is a combination of toxins, water and fat. While this is an unsupported prevention method, healthy water intake is important for maintaining a healthier lifestyle and better diet, which are important factors for cellulite prevention. Quit Smoking: Aging is amongst the various causes of cellulite, and smoking is one of the main reasons why people have that aged, weathered look in their skin. Those guilty of this unhealthy habit should find ways to quit smoking immediately to help prevent cellulite. Smoking has also been associated with capillary constriction, thinner skin and damage to connective tissues, causing the lumpy skin effect of cellulite. Better Blood Circulation: Poor blood circulation can heighten the risk of cellulite through the weakening of tissues, leading to the improper storage of fat under the skin. Since the body is unable to absorb the fat properly, it is pushed up closer to the surface of the skin, creating the appearance of cellulite. Cutting off proper blood circulation can also cause the accumulation of harmful toxins that break down connective tissues in the body, leading to cellulite. This helps explain the accumulation of cellulite around the thighs and buttocks due to sitting down for a prolonged period of time. Here are several ways you can improve your blood circulation: Massages Hydrotherapy Stretch, move about, or take a brisk walk Eat foods that improve the cardiovascular system and promote blood circulation like salmon or avocados Exfoliate the skin Have A More Active Lifestyle: A sedentary lifestyle can increase the chances for the formation of cellulite; it limits blood circulation, increases fat deposits, and hardens the skin's connective tissues. While exercise is very useful for preventing cellulite, you don't necessarily have to pay a trip to the gym every day. Start by changing your habits and incorporating healthy activities into your daily routine: Develop healthy office routines, like getting up to stretch every so often or going for a brisk walk during break time. Start getting into activities to help you enjoy the outdoors like biking or hiking. Take up a new sport or hobby that gets your body moving like volleyball or dancing. Build Muscle: Although many women might be hesitant to accumulating more muscle, having a toned, tighter body can help prevent the formation of cellulite. In some cases, living an active lifestyle, regular exercise and a healthy diet are not enough to prevent cellulite. Doing a little weight training with some light lifting can help build firmer muscles to replace unwanted fat. A firmer physique, especially in areas where cellulite commonly forms, is a great way to smoothen and tighten the ruffled, lumpy skin layers. Eat Healthier: Obesity and being overweight can dramatically increase the amount of cellulite around your body. Along with living a more active lifestyle and weight training to develop muscles, eating healthier and making sure your body receives necessary nutrients is essential for preventing cellulite. Fake Tan: A tan always makes you feel better & can help disguise cellulite. Share Your Tips Below .... ..
