How to Detox Your Body to Lose Cellulite

Detoxifying the body is a way to remove harmful substances and waste materials from the body. Cellulite is fat deposits around the thighs, hips and buttocks. These fat deposits cause lumpy and dimpled or puckered skin. Some people think that liposuction or injections is the way to remove cellulite. But detoxification is a less expensive and more natural way to shed weight, get healthier and lose cellulite.

Instructions

• 1

  Exercise regularly. Exercise burns fat and also reduces the amount of toxins in your body. Most toxins are stored in the fatty deposits of the body. The Women to Women website says that exercise that involves up-and-down motion like jumping jacks is beneficial to reducing cellulite. Other types of aerobic exercise also help in getting rid of toxins and the fat that creates cellulite.

• 2

  Drink plenty of fluids each day. Water cleans out the toxins and debris in the body. The water also helps makes bowel movements easier by making stools loose and watery. As the fat breaks down due to exercise and better eating habits, the water helps to flush out the fat which helps to reduce the cellulite.

  Eat fruits and vegetables daily. These foods are high in fiber and help the body to have more frequent bowel movements. According to the Mayo Clinic, a person needs around 20 to 35 grams of fiber every day for a healthy colon. Fiber-rich foods also include whole grains and legumes. High-fiber foods make you feel full so you are less likely to overeat.

  Cut down on high-fat or sugar-rich foods. Foods high in fat only add more fat to the body and increase cellulite. Sugar-rich foods like candy, cake and cookies may taste good, but they have low nutritional value and contribute to cellulite.
