Foods That Fight The Appearance Of Cellulite

Eating less is not necessarily the solution to cellulite, since the condition is related to skin deterioration rather than an accumulation of too much fat in the body, but it can be reduced by proper nutrition. Nutrition helps heal and revitalize connective tissue, reducing the damage that leads to cellulite.
Lecithin helps rebuild cell walls & repair tissue by hydration, and a damaged dermis is susceptible to dehydration and breakage.
Lecithin sources include:

  • Eggs
  • Soy Products (Tofu, Edamame, Soy Flour, Soy Milk, ect.)
  • Cauliflower
  • Potatoes
  • Spinach (contains vitamin K which is beneficial to your skin and circulatory system)
  • Tomatoes
Essential Fatty Acids help attract water to dehydrated cells and connective tissue and maintain cell hydration. They are fundamental to removing cellulite, so you should get them from:
  • Walnuts
  • Flax Seeds
  • Cold-Water Fish (Salmon, wild-caught Alaskan & Mackerel)
Protein sources consumed to obtain the nine essential amino acids the body requires to produce collagen and elastin inside connective tissues like:
  • Poultry (Turkey & Chicken help collagen production, which tightens the connective tissues around fat cells, giving skin a taunt, smooth look)
  • Fish
  • Eggs
Protein Sources For Vegetarians:
  • Leafy Green Vegetables
  • Nuts
  • Wheat
Anti-inflammatory foods rich in Antioxidants stop the free radical damage that weakens the dermis and results in lumps and dimples.
The best antioxidants for skin health include polyphenols, vitamins A, C and E and bioflavonoids. The strongest polyphenol is ellagic acid and pectin that is found in fruits like apples, pears and citrus fruits and it plays a wonderful role in the digestive system. The acids found in these fruits neutralize toxins and help restore the pH balance of the skin. Eating more of these fruits will metabolize fat ultimately reducing cellulite as well!
