Workouts - 12 Tips to losing Cellulite fast

By Paul Stephen Lubicz – The Wellbeing Manager

Cellulite forms when there is a circulation problem in the body. When cellulite is present, it means the lymphatic system, the bodies main vacuum cleaner cannot do its job properly and there is internal clogging.

Here are some great tips to aid in the fight against cellulite:

You are what you eat

In an anti cellulite programme the most vital aspect is a nutritional eating plan. Now the term diet I rarely use. I much prefer eating plan as I don't believe in diets. Choices and options of foods are a better phrase. Often when you say diet it sets up people for a binge or depravation. So lets all change the word diet to eating plan that works for you. After all it is all about choices and options as we are all individuals.

The anti cellulite food intake cleanses and detoxifies the whole system to enable toxic wastes to be eliminated and it prevents more cellulite from forming in the future. When a pure and natural food intake is eaten, the liver and large intestines are extremely efficient at getting rid of wastes very quickly. The more natural the food the quicker the digestive system breaks it down. The more artificial the food intake the longer it takes to go through the body. Much of the waste material that is not handled by the liver or large intestine gets re-absorbed back into the body where it starts to do damage. It is when too much waste materials accumulate that we notice cellulite deposits. The more the system is clogged the more sluggish the circulation becomes the worse the cellulite problem is likely to be. So eat all natural foods, organic preferably. Keep it simple lots of fruit, vegetables, I strongly recommend that you make an appointment with a qualified dietician.

Water

Drink at least 2 litres a day after all your body is made up of over 70% water. Most of us are dehydrated. Being dehydrated contributes to cellulite deposits. Water flushes and cleanses the system which we need to keep clear and unclogged. Water is a fantastic way to successfully re-hydrate the body & help flush out toxins & accumulated wastes from the system.

Alcohol cut it down or out

Alcohol enters the blood very quickly and alters blood chemistry. When alcohol enters the body it can overload and over work the liver & kidneys. It then cannot efficiently handle the excess waste materials. The eliminative organs have enough to do handling ordinary waste materials produced by food intake. If the system has to deal with alcohol as well its not surprising that our system finds it hard to cope & that much waste matter stays in the system.

Nicotine cut it down or out

The 1st effect of nicotine is that it uses up oxygen. Whenever there is reduced oxygen in the body cell function is impaired & circulation is effected. Our bodies cannot function without oxygen. Nicotine is a powerful pollutant & is an anti nutrient. It robs our system of Vitamin C & Zinc.

Coffee cut it down or out

Coffee interferes with certain minerals in the diet, particularly iron absorption. It puts extra stress on the adrenal glands by over working them, which then releases (adrenalin).Our bodies do not need them for daily functioning. Try drinking herbal teas as a replacement. They are nourishing & refreshing & will not rob your body of valuable nutrients

Massage

Get a lymphatic drainage massage. This type of massage can be hard which pummels and kneads away at cellulite deposits at the same time activating lymph nodes. A qualified lymphatic drainage masseur does this by pressing on lymph points all over the body and applying pressure to them. Be sure that you are cleared by a medical practitioner when starting any new wellness program.

Breath

Practise deep breathing for relaxation when ever you have the opportunity. This helps more oxygen get into the system and improves circulation. Go to a Yoga Pilate's class. In a Pilate's, Yoga type class you will teach you body awareness' and connect with your core leaving you with a greater understanding of and connection with your body allowing you to maximise each breathe.

Destress yourself

The less stress and anxious you are the less cellulite will be formed. When the mind is tense & anxious, extra stress hormones (adrenalin) are released into the system & they stay there. The more chronic the stress, the greater chance of making a choice that doesn’t fit in with your wellness program takes time out for you and your emotional wellbeing.

Exercise

Exercises can be effective once you have managed to work though the 1st 8 tips. Any exercise will help you de-stress, tone and shape the body. I recommend starting with something basic but most importantly enjoyable like walking in a park. Try to exercise the body without putting undue stress or strain on your joints. Never attempt a vigorous workout if you have been sedentary. Slowly & gently ease into an exercise routine. Be sure that you are cleared by a medical practitioner when starting any new wellness program.

Aromatherapy Oils

You can take an alternative approach and use aroma therapy oils. The essential oils used in Aromatherapy work in conjunction with your food intake and will not work unless you stick to these 12 tips. They will enable waste matter to empty itself into the lypymphatic system. These are the oils that natural therapists will recommend. I suggest that you consult an experienced aroma therapist on the best quality brands.

Note: only use pure essential oils as the cheaper brands contain kerosene.

• Lemon
• Juniper
• Rosemary
• Clary sage
• Cypress
• Patchouli
• Geranium
• Black pepper
• Sandalwood

Note: never use the same oil for more than 2 weeks as they loose there potency once the body gets used to them. For example use cypress for the first two weeks then switch to rosemary. The body likes to be surprised and stimulated.

Dry Skin Brushing

Dry skin brushing must be carried out with the cleansing & anti cellulite food intake plan. There is no point in working hard to unclog the system from the outside if you are filling it up with rubbish on the inside. The brush must be hard and made of natural, non synthetic fibres. Use a long handle brush of Mexican cactus fibre. The handle should detachable & made of natural wood with a strap across the back of the brush. Start by gently brushing the areas with cellulite and as your body gets used to it you may scrub little harder. If the brush has hard bristles you can soften them by soaking it in water. Be careful with yourself. You do not want to make your skin bleed. We want to stimulate the system by brushing gently.

Learn to be happy with your self image

When you look at your self in the mirror especially focusing on the areas that we aren’t so appreciative of have self respect of your body. Reminding yourself that you are doing the very best for YOU to enable YOU to loose the cellulite and fat cells that may have been there for awhile. Be positive on a daily basis which will empower you to be the best you can be.

Slowly and gently embrace all these 12 tips into your lifestyle ensuring that these healthy changes become a lead to a healthier more balance way to live!
