What is cellulite and how to fight it?
About what cellulite is, literally every woman knows, because more or less all are faced with this phenomenon. Although the problem of cellulite affects women more often, men also did not escape this fate.
But, since the fatty deposits in them are located at a different angle( horizontally, while in women it is vertical), visually it is not so noticeable in men.
Causes of cellulite ^
There is a firm belief that the causes of cellulite are exclusively in excess weight, and to get rid of the hated "orange peel", women massively sit on all sorts of diets and starve themselves.
When the desired weight is finally reached at the cost of incredible efforts, deep disappointment comes, because, despite the fact that many extra pounds have gone, cellulite remained in place. Moreover, often fight against cellulite is led by thin and athletic women who have never had excess weight.
Doctors warn that endless games with weight "lost weight - grew fat", when women chase weight there - here, gaining extra pounds over the winter and trying to get rid of them quickly by the beginning of the swimming season, only exacerbate the situation and create stressful conditions for the body. It is extremely important to keep your constant weight, not allowing sharp jumps.
The popular Russian Soviet actress Vera Alentova, who looks remarkably elegant and slim in her 70s, says that in order to remain always beautiful and slender, you need to maintain the weight that you had in 20 years, without any swings. The actress is very strict to herself and does not allow any indulgence - with the addition of a couple extra pounds, immediately sits down on an apple-cottage cheese diet and quickly restores her 20-year-old weight.
The fact that the orange peel is a cosmetic problem only externally, in fact, the causes of cellulite lie deep inside. And although it is often called simply subcutaneous fat, one must understand that this is not the usual fat, which can be eliminated with the help of diets alone, massages, wraps and physical exercises. Presence of a cellulitis specifies that in an organism there was an imbalance and the problem which has arisen inside, has already left outside.
The human body is arranged very wisely, and under stressful emergencies, it will always be able to choose the lesser of two evils to protect itself from overloads. As is known, the main organs responsible for the evacuation of toxins, slags, poisons and other harmful substances, so-called filters, are the liver and kidneys. With a normal diet and lifestyle, these bodies are coping with their task perfectly, in time removing all unnecessary and dangerous out.
But often due to improper malnutrition, the intake of antibiotics, an unfavorable environmental situation, the intake of toxins so increases that the liver and kidneys can not bind and withdraw all this mass. And in order to prevent these harmful substances from re-entering the bloodstream and the dangerous process of intoxication( poisoning with toxins) began, the body decides to hide them somewhere.
Fatty tissue is just perfect for such a role and is an excellent depot for storing toxins and wastes that, being locked there, can not hurt. But the more dangerous substances come from the outside, the more such fat stores for toxins are required. Toxins, getting there, do not lose their destructive properties.
Yes, they do not enter the general bloodstream, but instead start to destroy the subcutaneous fat layer, causing its inflammation. First, swelling develops, then the subcutaneous layer swells, resulting in uneven skin, the same "orange peel", which is called cellulite.
How to get rid of cellulite ^
Cellulite prophylaxis is:
- organization of the proper drinking and food regimen,
- normalization of bowel function
- rejection of bad habits.
In the fat layer accumulates over the years such a huge amount of toxins that, if they all came out of there immediately, a person would immediately die of intoxication. With a very famous and popular way to get rid of diseases and cleanse the body - prolonged starvation, these toxins begin to leave the body.
Therefore, in no case can you start a long starvation without consulting a doctor and without cleaning the pre-intestinal tract through which these toxins will mainly come out. Otherwise, if the bowels work poorly, all toxins and poisons that accumulated over the years will pour into the liver and blood mass, causing a person to die.
When starving without doctor's supervision, a person can die not from hunger, as many think, but from poisoning with his own poisons, which were stored for a long time and accumulated in fatty cellulite, called cellulite. Fasting is the best way to get rid of many serious illnesses, even if they are considered deadly, and at the same time get rid of cellulite, but, as already mentioned, doing it yourself is dangerous.
But it is very useful to have regular short-term, or day-long fasting, which also has a remarkable health effect, being not so extreme and gradually accustoming the body to starvation if you decide to use it in the future.
From all this, it follows that the presence of cellulite depends entirely on:
- than how we eat;
- than breathe;
- how much alcohol, nicotine and medicines we poison ourselves;
- , the important role for the normal work of the whole organism and the prevention of cellulite is played by what kind of water and how much we drink.
It is proved that the human body, 75% of which consists of water, needs at least 2 liters of water daily, namely water, and not various carbonated drinks, which are diuretic and very harmful due to the presence of various chemicaladditives.
Since water is the best natural solvent, it can dissolve toxins in itself, removing them from the body, which means that there is no need to hide them in fat stores, thereby provoking the development of cellulite.
One of the main reasons for the appearance of cellulite is unhealthy nutrition:
- The development of cellulite is promoted by eating fatty dishes, fatty meats, smoked foods, marinades, butter and confectionery.
- The most harmful products are fast food, which have become very popular these days, especially among young people. In the absence of useful micronutrients, vitamins and fiber in these products, they contain in excess various dyes, sweeteners, taste improvers and other harmful substances that contribute to overeating and obesity, because a person eats more than he needs and still remains hungry.
- Trans fats, which are considered to be products-killers, due to their extremely unfavorable effect on the human body, are especially dangerous.
- Try to consume only useful products, such as porridges, which are a storehouse of minerals, vitamins and fiber, which gives satiety for the whole day, health and beauty of the skin and hair.
- In your menu should be a lot of greens, legumes, as well as vegetables and fruits that inhibit the development of cellulite. In addition, what is extremely important, these products will ensure the uninterrupted operation of the intestine, which can regularly and fully remove toxins, without resorting to the help of fat stores and not allowing cellulite to develop.
The speed of the development of cellulite also strongly depends on the way of life. If you want to be healthy and fit, give up smoking, excessive drinking and do not take antibiotics and other medicines without extreme necessity. Try not to be in stuffy smoky rooms, sleep as much as possible all year with an open window, so that fresh air can flow through the night.
Regular half-hour walks before bedtime are very useful, which will ensure the supply of oxygen and improve sleep. It is necessary to understand that cellulite did not appear in one day, but over many years of your wrong actions and bad habits, so the fight with it will not end as quickly as we would like.
But, armed with knowledge about the causes of cellulite, desire and patience, you are able to cope with it. Ultimately, you will definitely achieve what you want and your hips will become beautiful and smooth.
In addition, during the fight against cellulite, acquire new healthy habits in nutrition and lifestyle that will become the norm and with which you do not want to part.
