It's summer, dresses and shorts are getting shorter, and there's a moment when you have no choice and you have to take a walk on the beach (if nothing else, to get to the sea and swim) and suddenly you seem to see cellulite that wasn't there until the day before yesterday or , if he was there, he didn't seem as scary as now when you undressed in the bathroom...
Well, here's how things stand. The good news is that cellulite shouldn't worry you. About 90 percent of women have it, but in some, thanks to a lucky combination of circumstances, it is less noticeable than in others. If you are not one of those lucky women, you should know three things: cellulite is not something worth banging your head about to the extent that it will ruin your vacation, that is the first and most important thing. Second, no matter what you do, you can't get rid of it completely, and the sooner you come to terms with it, the better. And, thirdly you can make it less visible. Here's what you should do:
Watch your diet
It is a common misconception that cellulite will disappear if you lose weight. They won't. But the fight against cellulite begins - on the plate. Your diet should be rich in proteins (meat, legumes, nuts), lecithin (eggs, tomatoes, spinach), healthy fats (fish, olives, avocados, nuts), fruits and vegetables that promote the melting of fat deposits (grapefruit). .
Drink enough water
Water is the best drink in the world, clearly. You need, say, a liter and a half, two during the day. And more if it's very warm.
Practice
If you take in more calories than you burn, you will put on fat that will manifest itself as cellulite in certain areas. In this particular case, cardio training is more effective than strength training.
Massages work "miracles".
OK, maybe not exactly miracles, but they sure do help. If you don't have money for massages, keep in mind that you can expect pretty good results if you massage yourself. It is only important to be persistent and not to skip the "treatment".
Peeling
Exfoliation should become part of your weekly routine. It won't magically erase cellulite, but your skin will look more beautiful, and it will certainly have a positive effect on microcirculation, so you "killed two birds with one stone".
Coarsely ground coffee and sea salt are a good choice of exfoliating "agents" if you are struggling with cellulite.
Showering with cold and hot water, alternately
Anything that improves circulation is your "friend". Instead of standing under a hot stream of water or bathing in a hot tub, alternate between hot and cold showers so that you always end up with a cold stream. Also, it is not bad to move the cold shower upwards in circular motions, from the ankles to the hips. Circulation and metabolism will accelerate.
Sauna
If going to the sauna is not prohibited for you for health reasons, it would not be a bad thing to try. The high temperatures we are exposed to in the sauna improve blood flow and lymph flow, the skin becomes smooth and tight...
Staying in the sauna also stimulates the work of the sweat glands, thanks to which the body is cleansed of toxins. One trip to the sauna a week will be quite enough, reports Mondo.
