Welche Frau da draußen hat sich nicht irgendwann in ihrem Leben entsetzt im Spiegel betrachtet, als sie die bekannte und unansehnliche „Orangenhaut“ von Cellulite an Hüften, Oberschenkeln und Po entdeckte? Nur wenige von uns haben vielleicht das Glück, die Hand zu heben und zu sagen: „Das ist mir noch nie passiert!“ und sie sind eine sehr glückliche Minderheit. Abgesehen davon, dass Cellulite ein sehr häufiges Problem ist, sowohl für die Schlanken als auch für die Großzügigeren unter uns, ist Cellulite auch eine typische weibliche Beschwerde und bei Männern sehr selten. Dies liegt an der Natur der Cellulite, die eine Folge …

Get rid of cellulite in 5 easy steps

What woman out there hasn't looked at herself in the mirror in horror at some point in her life when she discovered the familiar and unsightly "orange peel" of cellulite on her hips, thighs and bottom? Few of us may be lucky enough to raise our hand and say, “This has never happened to me!” and they are a very happy minority.

In addition to being a very common problem for both the slimmer and the more generous among us, cellulite is also a typically female complaint and very rare in men. This is due to the nature of cellulite, which is a result of the storage of fat and toxins in the cells just under the skin, causing the typical orange peel effect. Women's fat cells are very different from men's fat cells. In women, the chambers with fat cells are larger than in men and they are also more numerous. The normal percentage of fat in a woman's body is between 21% and 35%, while in a man's body it is between 8% and 25%.

Like pretty much everything else, getting rid of cellulite is the result of a holistic approach that takes into account both the inside of the body (causes) and the outside (symptoms), where cellulite makes its dreaded presence. So, here are my 5 steps to get rid of cellulite, get healthier and improve your self-esteem:

1.Hhydrate sufficiently

2.AApply a combination of essential oils

3.Prapid oxygen circulation

4.Pprepare delicious healthy meals

5.Yearn for a good long walk every day.

1. Hydrate adequately. Our body is 75% water, which is essential for all vital functions of the system, including flushing out toxins, which, along with fat, are part of the cellulite problem. The minimum daily water intake we need is more or less one liter of water per 30 kilos of body weight. If you live in a hot climate, exercise, or feel unwell, your daily water intake should be increased to make up for the water you lose through sweating, sweating, and internal cleansing (when sick). A very important factor that is often overlooked when it comes to water intake is that we need salt so that our body can use water intake as efficiently as possible. In order for the water to enter the cells and remove excess fat and toxins, it is fundamental to have salt and start the osmosis process, which promotes the exchange of water in and out of the cells and therefore the excretion of toxins. For more detailed information about which salt to use, see my previous article titled “Is Salt Good or Bad for You?”

2. Apply a combination of essential oils. There are several essential oils that are very helpful in increasing blood circulation as well as combating fluid retention and lymphatic congestion: rosemary, black pepper, geranium, sage, grapefruit, cypress, lavender, helichrysum and patchouli. When preparing an essential oil blend, always remember that all citrus fruit oils are photosensitive, meaning they may cause irritation if used up to 6 hours before exposure to sunlight. Choose the essential oils that appeal to you most and add them to a carrier oil (I use apricot kernel and rosehip oil) and massage into the areas of skin showing cellulite in circular motions upwards toward the heart. In the same way, you can also use a soft brush to massage the lymphatic vessels and improve blood circulation on the surface of the skin. I make my own blend for cellulite with added DMSO for better penetration into the skin and a teaspoon of “brine,” a solution of Himalayan crystal salt and water.

3. Promote oxygen circulation. In other words, breathe deeply, be as relaxed as possible and enjoy 15 minutes to yourself. The best time is when you wake up in the morning. Find a nice place where you will be undisturbed for 15 minutes. Face the sun, if you have the luxury of a sunny day, close your eyes and breathe deeply, enjoying the air flowing through every cell in your body. Breathe in positive thoughts and breathe out all your worries, fears and stress. Stress has a major impact on the accumulation of fat and toxins that cause cellulite.

4. Prepare delicious healthy meals. Increase your intake of fresh fruit, raw salads, vegetables, nuts and seeds while trying to be conservative with dairy, meat and processed sugars (like cakes, cookies and ice cream). It is very important to remember that our body only has one signal to indicate both thirst and hunger. Many people with weight problems tend to respond to this “call” by eating first. A good rule of thumb is to drink a few glasses of water the first time you feel “hungry.” Wait 15-20 minutes and then eat something. You'll find that you eat less overall and are probably less likely to eat junk food too. Also pay attention to the combination of foods you prepare. Excellent combinations are:

Proteins(such as meat, fish and eggs) andnon-starchy vegetables(Lettuce, mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, spinach, asparagus, cabbage and green beans, to name a few);

Starchy vegetables(such as potatoes, pumpkin, peas, carrots, beans and corn).Proteinsandnon-starchy vegetables.

grains(such as pasta, bread and millet).non-starchy vegetables

5. Longing for a good long walk every day. The best exercise you can do to combat cellulite is cardiovascular exercise, which keeps the blood circulating and the lymphatic system active.

And last, but not least, be HAPPY, smile more often, be kind to yourself and others, think positively, make sure you always have the sun in front of you so that shadows, worries, doubts, fears and anxieties remain behind you. Stress is a huge factor, not only in cellulite, but also in heart disease and many other ailments. A positive life, on the other hand, makes the immune system stronger and ready to fight diseases. I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't be angry, sad, or worried. All of these feelings are important and need to be expressed. However, remaining angry, sad and worried long after the causes of these feelings have disappeared only harms the people who engage with them, weakens the immune system and causes nothing but distress. Smile often, appreciate the little beautiful things that brighten your day and let your loved ones know that you love them and appreciate their presence around you...

Finally, share this information with the man in your life. Even if they don't get as much cellulite as we do, the five steps we've just outlined will benefit everyone as part of a holistic approach. Additionally, it will be easier for you to improve your diet and exercise routine if you have someone to do it with you and it will be great for both of you!
