We already know all the theories about what is healthy and what is not when choosing our diet, but apart from the obvious and general, such as avoiding excess saturated fats and sugars, let's see which foods are the most advisable to avoid or reduce cellulite.
Orange peel skin is a very common aesthetic manifestation in women. The irregular appearance of the skin is a reflection of cellulite, which originates at a deeper level and is characterized by the accumulation of fat and fluid around the cells, especially in the hips and abdomen.
Cellulite, despite being an aesthetic concern for many women, we must accept it as something normal, especially because sometimes the causes that originate it are hormonal or genetic and are not directly related to our habits. This does not mean that we abandon ourselves, since cellulite is a progressive process that worsens if we do not stop it. That is why we are going to see how we can follow a diet that helps us not to favor its development.
In this article, we will show you a balanced diet with cleansing fruits and vegetables that will help reduce cellulite. In addition, we will give you tips on how to change certain eating habits to improve your figure and fight cellulite effectively.

Breakfast

Mid-morning
- Natural yogurt: Natural yogurt is rich in probiotics that improve digestion and eliminate toxins from the body. Recent studies have shown that it is more advisable to take whole yogurt, since the proportion of fat compared to skimmed yogurt is very small, and its fat does not cause any adverse effects on the body, nor does it produce cholesterol. However, it is important to ensure that it does not contain added sugars (be careful with the flavors; it is better to use natural, non-sweetened).
- Handful of walnuts: Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce inflammation, improve skin health, and are a source of protein.
