Just as there seem to be an endless array of over the counter cellulite products, medical treatments, and spa procedures to reduce the appearance of cellulite, there are just as many, if not more natural cellulite treatments.
These types of treatments range from supplements and herbs, to diet plans, and from exercise routines to homemade concoctions.
It is nearly impossible to mention every type of natural cellulite treatment people have tried and continue to try each and every day. While some natural remedies are quite simple in nature and include items such as mayonnaise and olive oil that is massaged into the skin to improve circulation and elasticity, others are a bit more complex and include making mixtures of vinegar, fruit juices, oils, and herbs to promote healing from the inside out.
Still, other naturopaths and cellulite insiders recommend combination programs that include herbs, diet, exercise, and massage to fully counter the effects of cellulite.
One common thing amongst most natural treatments is a healthful diet. While there is no clinical proof that a healthier diet will melt away cellulite, what is known is that it does melt fat. When this happens the appearance of cellulite can also diminish.
Even though many people would rather purchase a simple cream, lotion, or pill than have to invest the time and discipline in changing their eating habits, changing the way you eat provides a number of health benefits, including a more efficient metabolism, which can help the body burn more fat and cellulite.
By incorporating great variety in your daily diet, from foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat or fat free dairy, and lean protein, the metabolism speeds up, the body burns more calories, and in turn burns fat stores.
Getting rid of junk foods, fatty foods, sugary foods, and processed foods will further promote fat loss as these types of foods tend to accumulate quickly in the body.
In addition to healthier food choices, drinking healthier beverages is also key to burning fat and calories.
Sugary beverages add tons of empty calories that end up being stored as excess fat in the body. Drinking more water is not only sugar free; it is calorie free and helps the body to naturally rid itself of toxins.
Finally, consuming a healthier diet of smaller meals several times a day, instead of just three large meals will keep hunger at bay, will reduce cravings, and will keep you from mindlessly snacking between meal times. All of these small changes can make a large difference in your overall appearance, including the appearance of cellulite.
