How to win the battle with cellulite

Many times people asked me how to get rid of the cellulite. It is important to understand the factors that aggravate cellulite:
Dehydration. Drinking more water will not only help reduce cellulite but also increase your energy, improve digestion and overall well-being. Avoid coffee, alcohol and black tea consumption as they dehydrate the body. It's recommended to drink 8 cups of water a day.
Lack of circulation. Wearing tight clothing will reduce the bloodflow to the tissues, and will accentuate cellulite.
Lack of exercise. Incorporate in your daily life physical exercise, both cardio and weights training, eat vegetables, reduce your salt intake, quit smoking and your body will thank you. Consult with your doctor if the problem is severe. Sometimes cellulite can be a symptom of a more serious medical problem that has to be identified and addressed by your doctor.
Reduce your fat tissue. Cellulite is fat. Simple as that. The less fat you have the less cellulite you'll have. When you are losing weight, it's important to focus on losing fat, not just weight. Many people want to get lean and they are losing muscle in stead of fat mainly because they don't eat properly. If you want to be successful with your weightloss you need a good plan that incorporate exercise, nutrition and rest.
