Animal fats( saturated). They are present in red meat, butter and other fatty dairy products. Give preference to poultry or fish meat and low-fat dairy products. Avoid frying, it is recommended to extinguish or fry foods without adding fat.
Sugar. It promotes the formation of free radicals, which damage cells and worsen blood flow through blood vessels.

So you better give up all sweets, sweet drinks and sweeteners. Limit the consumption of sweet fruit to three servings per day.
Salt. Its excess in the diet leads to excessive accumulation of water in the tissues, which contributes to the appearance of cellulite. It should not only reduce the amount of salt added to dishes, but also minimize its consumption, especially exclude those products that have been through many treatment cycles, where in the production process they add a large amount of salt. Therefore, refuse canned foods, smoked meat and fish and pickled products.
Cigarettes. Smoking promotes the appearance of free radicals, which lead to damage to small blood vessels, and the accumulation of harmful toxins.
