We know that the term "cellulite" refers to the deposition of water and fat between the skin and the layer directly below, accompanied by reduced connective tissue elasticity and appearance of the characteristic form 'wrinkles' on the skin. Seven of the eight women suffering from cellulite. It is a situation that concerns even the thin women and not just those with some pounds more, or greater accumulation of body fat.

Created by poor local blood supply, which results in fat cells of that region not well fed. So the body instead to reconstruct and burn the fat, store them in the area with the more need to feed. The abnormal fat accumulation that leads to these fat cells increase prevent the exchange of substances and exacerbate the problem of the microcirculation. Cellulite can appear in all parts of the body, but the most common are:

• Legs
• buttocks
• inside armrests
• stomach
• belly
• feet

The causes of cellulite can be many things such as sedentary lifestyle, less physical activity, heredity, impaired blood circulation, some hormonal disturbances, the presence of obesity and poor diet, smoking, frequent and high alcohol consumption. Depending on the causes, cellulite can and should be reduced.

The woman should

• Restrict or even better stop smoking and consume alcohol
• Become more active in everyday life and try if possible to do an organized activity (gym, some sports, hiking)
• Doing a good hormonal control and consult her doctor
• Obtain an ideal body weight determined by body mass index (BMI or BMI). The ideal weight ratio should be 25. When it gives higher values in most cases, the person is classified as overweight or obese
• Nutrition is key to tackling cellulite.

Because, as noted above, the cellulite is a form of fat to be removed, first stop the transformation of food and its components (especially sugar) to fat.

Dietary recommendations are the following:

Reduce fat intake, particularly animal or saturated fat. It is the fat found in fatty meats, fried foods, mayonnaise and cream, meats, animal butters, eggs, full-fat milk and dairy products. Saturated fat must be less than 10% of our daily diet.

Fat should be limited and dominated by monounsaturated (olive oil) and polyunsaturated (vegetable oils, fatty fish. Avoid weight gain and the development of obesity, both of which contribute to the emergence and aggravation of cellulite.

Water

There should be proper water consumption, along with daily meals  for a better metabolim function. Water is an essential substance that plays a key role in human metabolism of all essential nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats). The intake of water should be proportionate to the intake of food (about 1 ml water per 1 kcal caloric intake). This proportion is certainly not where we have high temperatures such as profuse sweating by vigorous exercise.

Decrease intake of simple sugars (carbohydrates eg sugar) and take the carbohydrates from complex sources such as fiber and carbohydrates. This action will pass more slowly in the body, ad help to improve bowel function. Remember that constipation contributes significantly to the emergence or worsening of the cellulite. So there should be plenty of fruit and vegetables, whole grains and legumes.

Sugar is a form of carbohydrate that is everywhere and is directly related to the development of cellulite. Unfortunately the hidden sugars are sotred in many foods such as bread, canned food, sauces, wines, yogurt.

The sugar from food get released in the form of blood glucose. Therefore, the excessive intake of sugar is consistently elevate blood glucose levels. The simple sugars (ie foods where sugar is the normal version) is released suddenly and rapidly to traffic thereby causing abrupt hyperglycemia. In contrast, complex sugars, or slow-release sugars rise more slowly and gradually increase in blood glucose levels.

The organization of the various activities requires some amount of glucose by the body. So when our physical activity and generally meet our energy needs to glucose intake, they consumed all the existing glucose. But when glucose levels are much higher than the body needs energy, we have unutilized amount of glucose (energy) stored. The store is in the liver and muscles first, then converted to fat and subcutaneous adipose tissue.

Specifically, glucose combines with free fatty acids, creating triglycerides, which are energy reserves from the body as fat, so we have enlarged fat cells and appearance of orange peel form.

Reduced salt

The salt as we know it causes fluid retention. Foods such as salted, canned, chips, savory cheeses should be avoided and we must control the addition of salt during cooking preparation. Finally, special attention is needed on the consumption of ready meals and eating 'fast food' since in these foods, the salt content is high.

Other recommendations

• Reduced alcohol intake
• Avoiding smoking
• Intense physical activity every day: from a simple walk in the gym. Any form of exercise helps to burn calories, improve blood flow to the tissues and blood circulation and maintaining or losing weight.
