How to Burn Cellulite With a Home Remedy

Cellulite, or dimpled-like fat, is a result of free radical attack and reduced efficiency of the circulation and lymphatic system, where blood poorly carries nutrients to cells and lymph fluid poorly drains away waste. Smart nutrition, a regular exercise program and a diet full of antioxidants and cleansing foods will help get rid of cellulite by helping the liver metabolize fats instead of storing them. A healthy lymphatic system and liver are the keys to the elimination of toxins and increased circulation, says Helen Foster in her book in "Detox Solutions." The following home remedies should be followed with consistency.

Treat Your Liver Kindly

  Harmful to the liver: prescription drugs and pesticides found in this nonorganic apple

  Reduce or eliminate that which hampers the liver's ability to detoxify, such as the pesticides found in many nonorganic foods, caffeine, sugar, excess fat, processed foods, impure water, prescription drugs and the herbs chaparral, comfrey and pennyroyal. By reducing the damage, the liver can work better to help you lose weight.

  Eat clean.

  Start your day with lemon water to help flush toxins and encourage weight loss. Include high fiber breakfasts such as bran cereal or other whole grains topped with fruit. Adopt a diet in which you consume plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are high in vitamins and minerals --- the more colorful the better. Also be sure to include low-fat protein at each meal and regularly consume nuts and seeds, including flax, hemp or chia seeds for omega-3 fats and important proteins and minerals.

  Rid yourself of fatty deposits by bouncing.

  Exercise. In her book "Detox Solutions," Helen Foster recommends a routine including 30 to 60 minutes, 3 days per week, of aerobic exercise, muscle toning exercises including squats and lunges for the hip and thigh areas, and yoga moves for increased circulation and lymph flow. Ann Louise Gittleman, a nationally recognized nutritionist, suggests bouncing on a trampoline or walking while swinging your arms. The lymphatic system does not have a pump like the heart, so it has to be exercised, relying on muscle contractions for its flow via the thighs and arms.

  Fight fat with healthful fat.

  Flush the liver. Gittleman suggests flax seed oil to fight fat, lean protein to raise the metabolism, and a mixture of 1 part pure cranberry juice, 7 parts water, consumed in 8 ounce amounts 8 times per day to clean up the lymphatic system and cellulite. Add the following to support liver function: dark, bitter leafy greens such as dandelion, endive, dandelion root and burdock root. According to The New`Whole Foods Encyclopedia's author Rebecca Wood, fresh carrot juice is excellent for liver rejuvenation and cleansing.

  Dry-brush your skin to encourage detoxificaion and increase circulation.

  Dry-brush your body with a natural bristle brush before bathing to stimulate the lymphatic system. Take a mineral clay bath containing sea kelp and dulse to help with the elimination of waste and toxins as well as break down cellulite through increased blood and lymph flow. To further improve circulation, skin and muscle tone, use an herbal body wrap or use hot and cold hydrotherapy.
