Ugh! Cellulite...
Believe it or not, 90 percent of women at one point or another develop cellulite! But there are ways of minimizing, delaying and possibly even preventing this cottage cheese-like condition. Keep in mind, cellulite is a skin problem, NOT a fat problem. Even skinny people have it. Where cellulite is located (hips, thighs and booty area) circulation is weaker so collagen is weaker due to lack of blood flow.
So what can you do to get dimple-free skin? Focus on eating more fruits, grains and vegetables to help build collagen. Consume protein in the form of nuts, seeds and eggs, which all help build connective tissue, helping to prevent and minimize the appearance of cellulite. And very importantly, put yourself on a regular fitness routine to help combat stress. Stress and lack of exercise can be huge culprits!
As far as all the cellulite creams out there, the jury's still out. The main thing, if you are going to use a cream, find one that's circulation-boosting. You can read more about creams and the fight against cellulite in the book "The Cellulite Solution", by Howard Murad, MD.
