Getting rid of cellulite is tough. Anyone who has decided to try to do so knows this first hand. But did you know there are certain foods you can consume that can help make getting rid of ugly cellulite a little easier.

In the quest to reduce cellulite in the thighs and hips women usually wind up addressing the specific area, which, if done correctly, can help dramatically. But most people overlook the fact that cellulite was created by the body from the inside. By providing your body with the
proper nutrients it needs, you can increase the effectiveness of your cellulite reduction program
.
First of all we need to understand that cellulite is an accumulation of fat, toxins and fluids which causes the skin to be uneven in appearance. These substances settle under the skin in the lower part of the body. It is more likely to develop in women because they tend to have a higher percentage of body fat and a propensity to retain more water. Because it develops slowly it usually goes unnoticed until you start to see lumps and bumps in the thigh and hip region.

Though diet alone will not completely eliminate the build up of cellulite, there are certain foods that will certainly make the job much easier. Let’s take a look at the top 5 foods you will want to add to your diet to decrease your cellulite as quickly as possible.

1) Whole Grains. Foods such as bulgur wheat, whole grain barley, whole oats, brown rice
and quinoa are all good choices. Since manufacturers are notorious at stretching the truth, be sure “whole grain” is the first ingredient when purchasing breads and cereals. Their high fiber content is an excellent way to help the body function at its best, allowing toxins to more easily be eliminated.

2) Raw Foods. When you need a snack reach for an apple instead of chips. Munch on carrots instead of cheese and crackers. Have fresh melon instead of ice cream. Adding more raw foods to your daily menu increases the amount of phytonutrients that your cells need to help them perform effectively. This allows the cells responsible for waste removal to do their job more efficiently.

3) Foods High in Bioflavonoids. Most doctors now agree that eating foods high in antioxidants are one of the best ways to help our bodies function at their peak. Bioflavinoids are super antioxidants found in many fruits and vegetables. Adding vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli and spinach and fruits like strawberries, oranges and mangoes not only aids in the elimination of cellulite, they also help to keep you in better health in general.

4) Herbal Teas. Drinking herbal teas are another great way to help eliminate the build up of cellulite. Among the best are dandelion, parsley, milk thistle and gotu kola. These teas have properties in them that purge the body of built up toxins and increase blood flow and collagen production.

5) Water. I know you hear this all the time, but having 8 glasses of water each day really
is good for you. Your body simply cannot flush out fat and toxins effectively without a continuous supply of water. If you’re like me, and you don’t like the blandness of water, making it tastier will help encourage you to drink more. Try adding some slices of orange, lemon or lime to it, or you can also add some crushed mint or lemongrass to it add both color and flavor. 

Well, now you know a few foods to add to your diet to help with cellulite elimination. I hope this help you on your quest to get those smooth and sexy hips and thighs. I hope you have found this article informative. Are your really serious about getting rid of your cellulite? Then please
