Cellulite

Symptoms

Cellulite often appears as dimpled, lumpy skin on the thighs, buttocks, or abdomen. It can give the skin a cottage cheese or orange peel-like texture.

What causes cellulite

The development of cellulite can be attributed to factors such as:

  • poor and irregular eating habits
  • a diet rich in fat and calories
  • sedentary lifestyles
  • alcohol consumption
  • smoking
  • increased stress levels.

When our metabolism is disrupted, we become more susceptible to not only cellulite but also other health issues like high blood lipid levels, hypertension, diabetes, and gout. These conditions further worsen circulation in small arteries and lymphatic vessels. Additionally, various medications, hormone treatments (such as contraceptives), and vitamins can also contribute to the risk.

How to manage cellulite

Consider using an infrared sauna once or twice a week. Infrared saunas are effective in reducing cellulite because they enhance blood flow and warm the body’s tissues, aiding in the disintegration of fat cells. They employ heat waves that penetrate deeply into the body, dissolving fat accumulations within the connective tissue beneath the skin.

Stay away from heavily processed foods, additives, sugary treats and drinks, white flour, and dairy products and engage in physical activity regularly.

Consume ample lemon water, ideally freshly squeezed from lemons, 4-5 times a day. It’s highly effective for detoxifying the fat cells beneath the skin.

Curiosities

Ideas of the perfect body have evolved over time, yet methods like “slimming” and laxative treatments have stood the test of time. They hinge on reducing food intake and upping fluid consumption, often involving herbal remedies, therapeutic baths, specialized massages, and occasionally, more drastic measures like slimming corsets and belts. For further insight into ancient beauty practices, delve into Eszter Szakonyi’s book “Timeless Beauty” (2013).
