Cellulite is a common complaint – particularly in women. This is due to the distribution of fat, muscle, and connective tissue within female skin. While it is not harmful, it can impact confidence. The easiest way to manage cellulite and reduce its appearance is with a healthy diet. Get your daily dose of skin firming foods.
Skin Firming Foods
Oily Fish & Nuts
Essentials fatty acids (good fats) are found in oily fish like salmon and mackerel. Walnuts and almonds also contain nutrients that can help to smooth the skin and metabolise fat.
Skin Firming Fruit
Bananas, berries, oranges, apricots, grapefruits. These fruits are all packed full of vitamins, lycopene, and methoxylated bioflavonoids. These compounds are full of antioxidants and increase blood circulation. This helps to correct cellulite-causing cell imbalances.
Wholegrains
Packed with fibre and high in antioxidants, wholegrains help to battle cellulite-causing toxins. As an added bonus, they keep you fuller for longer with slow-release energy. So, wholegrains are helpful when trying to maintain a healthy diet.
Green Tea
This powerhouse of a drink contains theobromine. Theobromine stimulates the release of stored fats within the body. Green tea also speeds up metabolism, inhibits fat absorption and helps with glucose regulation.
Skin Firming Foods: Cucumber
This diuretic food relieves water tension and removes toxins to help prevent cellulite.
Broccoli
This green vegetable contains a range of vitamins and minerals. It also contains alpha-lipoic acid. This substance prevents collagen from hardening helping to prevent cellulite.
Asparagus
Rich in folic acid, asparagus reduces stress. It also stimulates blood circulation to flush out cellulite-causing toxins. Asparagus has anti-inflammatory properties – it is a true superfood.
Skin Firming Foods: Spinach
These green leaves are high in Vitamin A. Vitamin A helps the production of collagen. A course of SkinBase Collagen Lift will also boost collagen levels.
