Ingredients

• 150 ml of coconut oil
• 50 ml of lemon essential oil
• 50 ml of grapefruit essential oil

How to make:

• It’s very easy: just mix all the ingredients in a bottle with a lid. No need to store it in the fridge.

• Apply on the skin of the thighs, buttocks, arms and bellies, avoiding mucous membranes.
• Massage the skin in a circular fashion, firmly but gently, helping to dissolve the fat.

• If you prefer, before using the oil, do a “dry massage”, using a glove with a vegetable sponge or a body brush. This will activate blood circulation.
• Use the cellulite oil daily for a month and a half for best results. Remember that cellulite treatment takes time, so it takes persistence and regularity.

Foods that make cellulite worse

Some say that we are what we eat. Indeed, diet has a direct influence on our bodies and even on our emotions and moods.

To complement your anti-cellulite treatment, it is essential to avoid foods and habits that only intensify it, such as:

• Coffee (and other caffeinated beverages): Coffee, caffeinated teas, and chocolate can cause inflammation and, due to their vasoconstrictive properties, make circulation difficult. Thus, they will favor both the appearance and the worsening of cellulite.
• Smoking not only intensifies cellulite, it also harms the entire organism.
• Sodas, sweetened juices, and other ready-to-eat drinks that are high in sugar and low in nutrients do the body no good and raise blood sugar, which makes inflammation worse. They can also lead to overweight and increased cellulite.

• Alcoholic beverages. Alcohol is one of the biggest enemies of our health and blood circulation.
• Fast foods and processed foods threaten the beauty of our skin, our silhouette and our body in general. Whenever you can, avoid.

Foods that fight cellulite

The good news is that there are foods that fight cellulite instead of intensifying the problem. Not surprisingly, these are the same foods that improve our overall health.

• Cucumbers and green leafy vegetables (especially spinach) have anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects. Whether in juice or fresh, it is important to consume at least two servings of these vegetables daily.
• The tomato, in addition to being tasty and versatile, contains lycopene, an antioxidant that removes toxins from the body, fighting cellulite. Prefer tomato sauces that do not contain sugar or excess sodium in their composition.

• Eggplant is a powerful ally against cellulite because of its high potassium content. Potassium helps our body to make a natural lymphatic drainage and eliminate fluid retention.
• Onions not only activate the circulation, but also help to eliminate waste from the body, increasing our energy level.
• Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that helps metabolize fats. However, due to its high sugar content, it is best to consume this fruit at breakfast or right after lunch.
• Red fruits such as blueberries, blackberries or strawberries are also good for the body, as they contain vitamin C and antioxidants.
• Healthy fats such as those in extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil or avocado also help the body eliminate cellulite and lose weight in a healthy way.

With a diet, daily massages and a regular exercise program (such as daily walks), you will be gradually eliminating cellulite and contributing to a life with more health and well-being. Get started today!
