Healthy B.P.M.

While not dangerous, cellulite is annoying, unsightly and an all-around pain in the rear end. Cellulite is bumpy skin usually found on the butt and thighs. While there are many theories on what causes it, it’s usually considered to be fat cells bulging out through tight, inflexible connective tissue. If you turn on infomercials or the home shopping channels, you’ll probably see tons of different products that promise to get rid of it. The truth is: you can’t get rid of cellulite without expensive surgeries, but there are ways to reduce its appearance. Here are just a few suggestions to bring back your smooth, supple skin.

Get Healthy. While you can’t get rid of the cells that cause cellulite without surgery, you can shrink them down by losing weight and building muscle. Just being overweight doesn’t cause cellulite, getting rid of excess pounds usually helps reduce its appearance. And isn’t that all we want?

Increase Circulation. To loosen tight connective tissue and give your skin a smoother appearance, you should take steps to improve circulation in the area. You’d need a calculator to count the products out there that swear to alleviate cellulite (even cellulite reducing pantyhose). The best way to increase circulation is with daily massage. Plus, this can be a nice way to relax at the end of the day.

Use Aloe Vera. There are many “miracle” cellulite creams on the market, but you probably already know that it’s best to avoid them. If you really want to go the “cream” route, try a good aloe vera cream. Some manufacturers say that it will help loosen up the connective tissue and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Also, regular use of an exfoliating scrub may help as well.

Get Rid of Toxins in the Body. One theory suggests that cellulite is caused by excess toxins in the body. Having well hydrated cells washes away the toxins and keeps them from building up; so drink plenty of water. Some people have found improvement after wraps and other treatments designed to remove toxins from the skin. You should also avoid adding new toxins to your system; cut back on caffeine, additives, preservatives, artificial colorings, and unnecessary medications.

None of the above methods are tried, tested or proven, and nine times out of ten, will not necessarily or totally get rid of cellulite. At best your skin will be softer and that‘s not so bad. If you try them and they do work for you that would be awesome. I have one more tip that I came across that’s really a head shaker. Hope you’re ready for this one because it’s one for the record books!!!

Jumping. Jump 100 times everyday. You do not need to jump high, but relax your stomach and leg muscles. If necessary hold your breasts.

Now that was priceless!!
