CELLULITE
FACT AND FICTION – 97% OF WOMEN HAVE IT !
There can be confusion about Cellulite …. The market has been flooded with miracle creams, lotions and potions. The surgical intervention industry is booming and has profited greatly by our desire to be free of it, and to provide the ‘quick fix’. The facts:
SOME DO’S AND DONT’S TO PREVENT THE NEED FOR A DETOX Ø Plenty of fibre in your diet will help keep the digestive system cleansed and flowing
effectively. Brown rice, whole-wheat bread and
vegetables are good sources of this.
Ø A slow release of energy from foods which are
low on the glycaemic index will ensure you don’t
get over hungry, which may tempt you to make
poor food choices.
Ø Keep away from the quick hit foods, such
a biscuits, chocolates, pastries. They give
you quick energy boost, but it doesn’t sustain
you. Hunger and fatigue are likely to follow, again
encouraging you to reach for another fix.
Ø Low fat sources of protein provide the building
blocks for repair, making enzymes, hormones
and anti-bodies. Remember pulses, nuts and
seeds also contain some protein.
Ø Anti-oxidants are foods which neutralise the
effects of free radicals. Free radicals are
rampant chemicals, with a destructive
nature. Diets rich in anti-oxidant foods have been
shown to protect against cancer, heart disease,
delays ageing, and prevents cataracts. Fruit,
vegetables, seeds, nuts, oils, whole grains,
beans and lentils all contain these super
-nutrients.
Ø Drink plenty of fluids; this can include water, fruit
juice, herbal and fruit teas. If your urine is golden
coloured it is a sign that you are low in fluid.
Your urine should be virtually clear with no strong
smell.
