How To Treat Cellulite With Topical Applications & Nutrition
If you want to know how to treat cellulite effectively you first need to understand which factors contribute most to the development of cellulite. Apart from the more technical aspects of how cellulite develops one needs to also understand that you can prevent further development of cellulite by taking pro-active steps and making some changes in your lifestyle as well as diet plans.
Factors Contributing To Development Of Cellulite
Genetic inheritance unfortunately plays a role and with more than 90% of women affected by cellulite in one or other way, it becomes apparent that females are more at risk of developing orange peel than men are. Apart from such, however, one needs to look at factors which are in your control if you want to know how to treat cellulite effectively.
Water Intake
By improving your water intake you will help the body to get rid of toxins. As cellulite is a combination of toxins, fats and water which have not been eliminated from the body, drinking more water will help to flush out the unwanted fats and toxins.
Nutrition
Even if you eat three meals a day and don’t eat healthy you risk increasing cellulite formation. Processed foods, alcohol and caffeine intake as well as sugary substances and starch contribute to cellulite formation. If you can, reduce the intake of the above and change your diet to include fibre and loads of vitamins, minerals and proteins which have not been deformed by processing or overcooking.
Supplements
Herbalife offers a range of supplements to support nutrition which in turn will help to improve skin condition, remove toxins, and ensure healthy cell working. Our weight management products such as the Formula 2 Herbalife Multivitamin Complex for support of nutrition and the protein supplements such as the Formula 3 Personalised Herbalife Protein which can be added to our nutritional shakes, which can also serve as meal replacements, the Formula 1 Nutritional Shakes, and fibre support in the form of Herbalife Fibre and Herb can give you the inner nutritional dietary support you need for a healthier and cellulite free body.
Other Factors Contributing To Cellulite Formation
If you smoke you increase the formation of cellulite as such damages the connective tissue under the fat cell structure. Once the collagen, which is the connective tissue, is damaged, the fat pushes through and creates unsightly dimples on the skin. Diet pills, some birth control pills and other medication can cause water retention which in turn reduces toxin flushing and thus more fat build-up leading to weakening of fat cell structures and eventual overflow into the connective tissue.
Inactivity
If you still want other means on how to treat cellulite you can start by becoming more active. Sitting behind a desk for hours on end reduces blood flow. This in turn means a slower metabolism and thus less toxin removal. In addition, the connective tissue is hardened causing unsightly cellulite.
