Posted to Is There a Way to Prevent Cellulite? on 28 Aug 2012
1. Physical exercise: Yes back to the basics, exercising does help prevent cellulite. It greatly decreases the blood concentration of insulin which means less fat and less cellulite.
2. Do not eat a lot of salt! It promotes fluid retention and raises the possibility of leakage into fat cells
3. Eat fibre! Lacking fibre increases pressure inside your capillaries, which again leads to fluid leaking out of your blood and into your fat cells
4. Do not eat fast absorbing carbs, for example too many sweets.
5. Keep your blood flowing from your legs to your heart: A good way to do this is stand up and raise you calves off the ground up and down (like a calf raise workout) for 5-10 minutes. This is a good exercise for not only students, but for those of you who work at a desk all day. If the lower limbs are not exercised enough, blood will build up in your lower limbs, which promotes leakage into your fat cells.
6. If you’re stuck inside all day, seriously take the stairs and avoid elevators to get a bit of movement in during the day.
7. Avoid tight clothing such as wearing skinny jeans everyday. Tight clothing can actually damage your leg muscles and make it difficult for the blood to get back to your heart.
8. Avoid high heels on a daily basis. If you are at a 9-5 job where you are entitled to wear heels all day, take them off under you’re desk and bring a pair of comfy shoes. High heels have the same effect as tight clothing!
9. If you are a smoking, smoke less, if you are a drinker, drink less: smoking decreases tissue oxygenation and alcohol increases fat formation.
10. Depression, anger, frustration, anxiety and stress can add to cellulite, so try to relax in every day life.
