5 Ways To Reduce Cellulite
1. Dry Brushing
Using a body brush or dry brushing increases the blood circulation while exfoliating the skin and stimulating the lymphatic system of the body. It is advisable to dry the affected area at least once a week to get the desired results. Also, keep it in mind that doing too many strokes at a single area may cause the muscles to go sore and skin to become dry.
2. Adequate Hydration
One of the many benefits of drinking an adequate amount of water is keeping cellulite at minimum. The water is known to flush out various toxins out of the system. If the body lacks water, the toxins are left unattended in the body. However, do not consume more than the required quantities of water either, which may cause swelling below the cellulite layer. You can either drink water or focus on eating foods with a higher water content.
3. Regular Workouts
One of the easiest ways to reduce cellulite is to work out regularly, especially the HIIT workouts. This is because when you opt for harder workout activities, your heart rate becomes higher and you burn fats at a faster rate. But we will not recommend the exercises to people with any physical ailment or heart disease. Consult your doctor before introducing any new workout in your routine and do not perform any activity without supervision of a skilled practitioner or trainer.
4. Lymphatic Drainage Massages
These types of messages not only enhance blood circulation but also cause relaxation of the fibres. These massages help in getting rid of cellulite. It is important to find the proper masseuse for the process who knows the process and is well learned with the techniques.
5. Include Protein In Your Diet
High protein food stimulates the production of collagen because of the amino acids present in proteins, which enhances the skin's elasticity and keeps cellulite away. They firm up the muscles and also keep fats in place. So including meat, fish and seafood, eggs and nuts in your diet will enable you to reduce the cellulite.
