Can Your Diet Help To Reduce Cellulite?

By James Kupe


It's totally understandable that most women dread cellulite, and it can be a soul destroying thing to look in the mirror and see it sitting there on your body day after day. And it doesn't make it any easier that while up to 85% of women will develop some amount of cellulite during their lives, but it hardly ever affects men. In this article, we're going to focus on one thing that you can take a little control over - what you eat.

Some Common Foods That Can Fight Cellulite

There are quite a few foods that can help your body reduce cellulite levels, and then there are foods that can make of your cellulite appear even worse. Your goal should be to eat foods that can help to balance your hormone levels, along with foods that help your body to reduce inflammation. Eating foods that are high in sulfur will also help to reduce the build up of cellulite in your body.

In addition to these, try to eat foods that can improve blood circulation, and foods rich in vitamin C should also form a part of your diet. Today we are going to focus on foods that tend to balance your body's hormone levels.

The Types Of Foods You Should Avoid

It's been proven that high levels of this estrogen can cause your body to increase it's creation of cellulite. Estrogen levels in your body can be increased by up to 68% just by drinking your morning cup of coffee. Other things we eat that can raise estrogen levels include most cooking oils, and anything that contains non-fermented soy.

Foods That Battle Cellulite

The best foods for fighting cellulite are those that are high in fiber and rich in sulfur. Ground flaxseed is good for you if you can add it to your diet, and even though flax itself is a phytoestrogen (which is bad), it's still recommended in moderation. That's because the lignans in flax contain anti-estrogen properties, which cancels out the effect of phytoestrogen. You do need to be careful though, because flax loses it's estrogen-fighting properties when it is pressed into oil, so stick with organic ground flaxseed and stay away from flax oils.

A Dozen More Cellulite Fighting Foods

There are plenty of other foods that fight cellulite, and these include chia seeds (which are quite high in fiber), sulphur rich foods such as cabbage, radishes, broccoli, watercress, kale, hemp seeds, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, onions, pumpkin seeds, and spirulina. You should also consider quinoa in your diet. By choosing to follow some of these food recommendations, you should see improvement in the look of your cellulite in the weeks and months ahead.
