5 Morning Rituals to Reduce Cellulite

Summer is the time of year when we want to slip into our favorite shorts and swimsuits, but sometimes cellulite can make that difficult. We will do anything to hide those unwanted bumps by covering up when we want to get out and enjoy the warmer weather. Luckily, you’re in good company! Nearly 90% of women struggle with fat cells underneath their top layer of skin. So what can we do to look and feel better?

Here are five morning rituals to reduce cellulite in time for summer:

Drink lemon water. Get a jump start on your day and your digestive system with a glass of lemon water. Simply squeeze fresh organic lemons into some hot water and sip it slowly. Preventing cellulite starts with your body’s ability to break down food, and lemon water will help do exactly that!

Exercise. It’s not an easy habit to get into, but once you start it won’t be easy to go back! Spend time in the morning building up muscle beneath cellulite to help break it up and keep your skin looking more firm. You’ll want to target the back of your thighs, so try lunge kicks to tighten hamstrings .

Dry brush before showering. Before hopping in the shower, make it a daily habit to dry brush your body. Use a dry loofah or another brush to scrub from head to toe for improved blood circulation. This ultimately releases toxins from your body, which reduces the appearance of pesky cellulite.

Eat a cellulite-unfriendly breakfast. Fight off cellulite with your first meal of the day! While there are breakfast foods that will increase the amount of cellulite in your body, there are also foods that will help get rid of it, but only if you eat them consistently! Stick to fresh berries, grains, coconut oil, or other foods with “medium chain fatty acids”  to help break down fat cells.

Take bottled water on the go. Staying hydrated is an essential part of reducing cellulite. You’ve started your morning with hot lemon water, but don’t stop there! Keep hydrated all day long to keep skin looking smooth. Take water on the go to ensure you’re getting plenty of fluids throughout the day.

3 Reasons to Drink Water

Can you guess what the second most popular drink is these days? With Americans carrying bottled water everywhere, the answer is obvious. It’s been suggested that drinking eight glasses of water a day will keep you healthy because the benefits are so huge. There are plenty of reasons to drink water. Here’s a few:

1. It maintains the balance of body fluids. Water is essential for body functions - digestion, circulation, absorption, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and so forth. Your body is 60% water and you need to keep that percentage up. When you’re low on fluids, the brain tells the body’s thirst mechanism. This is your cue to pour yourself a drink!

2. It can help control calories. One of the top weight loss strategies? Drinking water, and lots of it. While there’s no magic to this method, using it as a substitute for soda and other high calorie beverages will help. Believe it or not, water is filling and can lessen your calorie intake. Water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables are just as beneficial!

3. It keep skin looking good. Is your skin dry and wrinkled? There’s a good chance you’re dehydrated. The solution is simple: “lock” moisture into the skin using moisturizer drink more water. When you drink more water, your kidneys can take over again and excess fluids that were lost, bringing your skin back to life!
