AVOID Cellulite during Pregnancy

We’ve all heard about Cellulite. We’ve all seen it. But do you really know what cellulite is? And why is it more apparent during pregnancy?

When fats, fluids and toxins are trapped deep in the skin, the connective tissue thickens and hardens, giving the skin a cottage cheese look. During pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone levels are high and as a result, pregnant women have increased fatty deposits, weight gain, water retention, and weakened fiber structure.

But don’t despair, there ARE some things that you CAN do now to reduce your cellulite.

4 Proven Cellulite Fighters                                                            

1. Drink lots of water. Water cleanses the digestive system and flushes toxins and waste out of the body.

2. Eat a moderately low-fat, low-sugar, high fiber diet with emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

3. Avoid salty foods as much as possible. Salty foods increase water retention and make cellulite appear worse.

4. Be physically active. Physical activity is extremely important in aiding proper circulation. Refer to my exercise manual for safe and effective pregnancy exercises.

By the way, the two most effective ways for women to get rid of body fat and cellulite and get back to pre-pregnancy shape are breast-feeding and exercise, so be prepared!
