1 Ditch Salt and Sugar
One of the best ways to fight cellulite is to watch what you eat. Sugar and salt both make existing cellulite more noticeable. Sugar gets stored in fat cells and actually causes them to expand. Salt, as we know, causes us to retain fluids, which can make cellulite look worse. Keep your daily sugar and salt intake in check so your diet doesn’t wreak havoc on your skin!

6 Eat Flaxseeds
It seems like we find flaxseeds in so many foods and products nowadays! Flaxseeds are a prime food for fighting cellulite because they help boost collagen, which strengthens your skin and helps reduce the appearance of cellulite. Enjoy a couple of tablespoons of flaxseeds daily on yogurt, smoothies and salads to help strengthen and smooth your skin from within!
7 Spicy and Sour
This next anti-cellulite concoction might sound like punishment but it can really help improve the look of your skin. Combine the juice of one lemon with a pinch of cayenne pepper and mix it with a glass of water. Drink this spicy and sour drink up to three times daily and you should see a difference in your skin in a few weeks.
8 Apple Cider Vinegar
Is there anything ACV isn’t good for?! Apple Cider Vinegar is another way to fight cellulite and even help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. There are two ways to use ACV, you can either rub it directly onto your skin and massage or mix a couple of tablespoons into an 8 ounce glass of water and drink it daily.
There are lots of different ways you can fight cellulite and help improve the appearance of your skin. While these recipes are fairly easy to make, they do take time to work so don’t give up! Try each treatment for at least 3-4 weeks before you move on to another one. Natural treatments can be effective; they just take a little more time to work. How do you deal with cellulite?
