NEW BODY. NEW CONFIDENCE! Cellulite is considered a real “curse of women”. 9 out of 10 of us suffer from the unsightly “orange peel” skin mostly around our thighs, buttocks, bellies and arms. All of us want to be cellulite-free for life, but too often we start thinking about solving this problem when it is too late to banish it: a few weeks before a vacation, before an event when we want to wear a short dress, or when the weather gets nice and it is time to wear summer clothes. The key is taking measures throughout the year, continuously maintaining your cellulite-fighting routine for a confidence in your look at any time. Hormones, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet as well as other unfavorable daily habits overload our bodies with harmful toxins and contribute to the formation of cellulite. Spot the triggers and beat them in real time:
Mistake # 1 MEDICATION Today, we take more medicine than ever before, popping a pill whenever we feel the slightest discomfort. All the medication we take has components that are difficult for the liver to process, leading to an accumulation of waste, toxins and fat in our body. The result is that the liver is trying to break down painkillers, and can’t work on our fat cells.
Mistake # 2 CAFFEINE Too much caffeine - more than two cups of coffee per day overstimulates our nervous system, triggering the production of cortisol, a fat-storing hormone. Don’t forget that there is also caffeine in chocolate, energy drinks and tea! Giving up on coffee can help reduce cellulite. TIP: If you are a coffee drinker, try to substitute your morning latte for herbal tea!
Mistake # 3
Mistake # 4
WRONG SALAD
WRONG WATER
Eating fresh vegetables is good for you. But if your salad comes in a plastic box, its health benefits are compromised, since the plastic often contains hormone-disrupting chemicals, called xenoestrogens. They act as artificial estrogen, causing fat cells to swell. TIP: Make your own salad and pack it in Zepter VacSy glass containers.
The same plastic-avoiding logic applies to drinking water. Water is a key player in cellulite fight, so make sure to drink only filtered water, or water that comes from a glass bottle, since high percentage of unidentified components could overload your body with toxins. TIPS: Drink filtered water, adding some lemon juice as it becomes alkaline during the digestive process and lowers the amount of acidic toxins that cause cellulite.
Mistake # 5 NON-ORGANIC MEAT It is true that organic meat costs more than non-organic, but it’s worth investing in our body. Non-organic meat may be pumped with hormones, antibiotics and growth stimulants: harmful toxins that our body may not know how to get rid of. These toxins are stored in the liver, and it is a really hard job for the body to get rid of them. TIP: Prepare organic meat only the healthy way, using the Zepter Masterpiece Cookware, without overheated cancerogenic fats, salt, or spices. If you cannot afford organic meat, get your daily protein from fresh fish, tofu, cottage cheese, and protein-rich legumes, such as beans and peas. 1 Credit: based on article “Cellu-Toxic?”, http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/beauty/health/the-7-hidden-culprits-causing-your-cellulite
Mistake # 6 TRENDY BEAUTY TREATMENTS Among various treatments that are used to treat cellulite, the Infrared Therapy is one of the most popular. The range of anti-cellulite treatments and creams is intimidating and their results questionable. Infrared energy (heat) and radio wave frequencies go deep into the body tissue, burning fat cells underneath the skin. Infrared treatments are non-invasive, however they can be very expensive and the results are temporary, lasting only about six months. Plus, it is recommended that the treatment is performed by a licensed physician, to ensure its safety. In addition, the entire course of treatment is time-consuming, as at least 6-12 sessions are recommended to achieve the best results. A session usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes.
Total cost is usually based on a specific number of treatments. For example, should you need 10 sessions, the average prices generally begin at around EUR 1,500.
