TARGET AREA FOR THE WEEK: CELLULITE
If you've ever had it or are struggling with it today....It is not a friend of mine.....
Many women share their dislike of it, how gross it looks, and what does it consist of anyway?
Cellulite is a combination of fat, toxic waste and water the body was unable to expel from the body....
Here are some reasons why we develop these gassy bubbles....
1. HEREDITY and GENETICS: Your chances to develop cellulite is strongly predetermined by genes. It predominately affects 90% of women.
2. POOR DIET: A poor diet consisting of PROCESSED FOODS, SPICY FOODS, CAFFEINE and ALCOHOL contributes to cellulite because the TOXINS they produce get trapped in fatty tissue...
3. NOT ENOUGH WATER: Plenty of water consumption with help flush toxins out of the body...Because cellulite is a mixture of fat, toxic waste and water the body has failed to eliminate. Consuming plenty of water can (help diminish cellulite.)
4. SMOKING: Smoking promotes celllulite by DAMAGING the CONNECTIVE TISSUE in your body. This is what causes the DIMPLED EFFECT in CELLULITE...So if you're smoking, here's another excellent reason to STOP!
5. SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE: A sedentary life style leads to poor circulation and muscle tone, cause development of cellulite..Lack of exercise hardens the connective tissue in the skin which also causes dimpling of the skin.
6. MEDICATION: Sleeping pills, diuretics and diet pills all lead to cellulite formation. Birth control pill because of its tendency to produce high levels of estrogen. Water retention builds which inhibits the body from flushing the system of toxins, leading to the formation of cellulite.
7. CRASH DIETS: Increase risk of cellulite come into play with crash diets because the body thinks you're starving. It attempts to consume saturated fats which help build cellulite. These fats block the arteries and get trapped in tissues as well, preventing sufficient toxin and waste elimination......
OKAY ENOUGH about THE CAUSES....HOW DO WE GET RID of it?
Now, with a combination of STRENGTH & CONDITIONING, CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISES (with ME of course ) and ISOMETRIC EXERCISES you can REDUCE the appearance of cellulite....
About Me
Hey guys! I am a native Washingtonian, wife & mother of two. My story is much like most women who have struggled to regain their body, love-of-self, and emotional confidence while going through life’s challenges. Eating became my biggest comfort in dealing with these challenges, and little by little 100 extra pounds of guilt and shame became my newest reality.
My wake-up call was looking in the mirror and not recognizing the person staring back at me, nor being familiar with the pain & illnesses associated with this new body. I had become a different person, but I knew, deep down inside, that I loved myself more than the stranger I had become. By the grace of God, consistency, and determination, I crawled out of depression and into a life filled with rejuvenation and purpose through healthy eating and daily exercise. Heal the mind and the body will follow! Tap into your emotional center and you'll discover the TRUE Beauty N YOU!
