Beauty is Now

It ain’t easy being beautiful is it?

One of the body issues women struggle with is cellulite. Cellulite, apparently loves women and women’s bodies. For some reason, men don’t get cellulite as much as women do. Cellulite – the lumps and bumps formed by fatty deposits accumulating under the skin and pushing against the connective tissue to form that oh, so beautiful dimpled look of the thighs.

Losing Weight

Because cellulite is caused by fat gain, especially when the gain is rapid, a diet low in fat can decrease the appearance of cellulite, if not cellulite itself. In 2006, a study of 29 women with cellulite was done. The study showed that weight loss did not necessarily eliminate cellulite. In fact, 17 reported an improvement in their cellulite, while 9 reported an actual worsening. Over all, the appearance of the dimples improved. While some still had cellulite, the depth of the dimples were less, and therefore looked better.

Fish oil and Flaxseed Oil
Fish oil and flaxseed oil have help to build collagen and elastin. Collagen and Elastin helps the skin to look plumper and more toned, so the appearance of dimpled lumps decreases. Studies show that increasing fish oil or flaxseed oil in the diet, can produce a marked improvement in as little as 2 months.

Glucosamine
My mother takes glucosamine for her arthritic knees. Glucosamine also has a positive effect on cellulite. Glucosamine helps to keep the cells nice and plump and hydrated. Like collagen and elastin, plumper cells produce a less dimpled effect.

So if you want to lose some cellulite, exercise and try some of the above supplements.
