Cellulite,
oh noooo… If any woman on this planet told me that she didn’t worry about having
cellulite, I would say Yes and I am the
next Mother Theresa.
Just
hearing the word cellulite gives me goosebumps. Unfortunately I am, like MANY women, a victim of
cellulite. But I can’t complain,
since I don’t exercise every day, I eat what I want, and I don’t limit my
sweets or coffee intake… Thus the natural result is cellulite, nature’s
unpleasant gift.
As
women, we have a higher chance of having cellulite than men, due to our higher
body fat percentage. Also
genetics, lifestyle, and diet all affect the amount of cellulite a woman will
have. Speaking of diet, coffee is
actually believed to cause cellulite… and in a way it does.
The body
works to maintain a normal PH level, keeping the amount of alkaline/acid in our
bodies in check. When we drink
coffee, more acid appears, so the body has to work to neutralize the acid by
adding water. This causes us to
retain water and gain a bit of weight.
Now
ladies, don’t panic and quit on your morning coffee just yet. At least for me, coffee is one of the
best parts of my day. So, to keep
your body in balance, drink TWO cups of water for every ONE cup of coffee you
drink. The best solution to get
rid of that water retention is by giving to your body exactly what it screams
for… WATER!
There is
a way in which coffee can help us get rid of cellulite, but you’ll have to stay
tuned for my next post to learn about that…

Interesting, but I might be the exception? Although I do drink more water than coffee, I still drink about 5-6 cups a day. I drink it AND I use the wet grounds as a body scrub....#coffeeaddict but thanks for the info!

I don't drink coffee, I get too hyper every time I have a cup :P my guilty pleasures are wine and chocolate. I keep balance by going to the gym 5-6x a week and doing yoga 3x a week. Drinking lots of water helps too! I have 2 liters of fresh water right after I brush my teeth and before breakfast.
ReplyDelete@Nelly, no problem, any time, thank you for reading =).
ReplyDelete@Shentita, lucky you, I really thank you for the praying :).
@Chefpandita, wine and chocolate in small portions are good for the healt, just keep it balance and congrat on your healthy lifestyle.
I am having issues with cellulite too and I've been reading a lot of stuff over the net lately. If you love coffee that much you can make coffee scrub for your cellulite. I once read from Cellulean reviews that it really helps as well as dry brushing.
