Does alcohol cause cellulite?

Therefore doctors usually stress an approach centered on diet and exercise and natural medicine advocates taking positive detoxification methods such as use of mineral baths and anti-cellulite lotions. Although they approach the problem from different perspectives there are many areas of agreement, and one of these areas concerns the harm that alcohol consumption causes to the body.

The facts are only open to one interpretation. Medical studies are united in their verdict that over-indulgence in alcohol can cause serious damage to the liver and in the most extreme cases it can lead to the dreaded disease known as cirrhosis of the liver. Since the efficient functioning of the liver is crucial to the removal of toxins from the body, ruining the liver is going to have very severe consequences for the development of cellulite and many other more severe health issues.

While one answer to the question of how alcohol can cause cellulite becomes apparent when the relationship to liver disease is considered, there are a number of other clear links. It has also been established that alcohol increases fat levels in the blood and slows down blood circulation and consequently it impedes the body’s ability to quickly disperse toxin build ups.

The connection between beer drinking and fat is another indisputable fact; the UK English expression “beer belly” graphically illustrates one of the common consequences of taking too many glasses of beer. Furthermore, alcohol can also negatively affect the absorption of Vitamin C, calcium and zinc all of which assist in burning up excess fat. Taking all these factions into consideration makes alcohol and cellulite go together like a horse and carriage.

While a glass of beer now and again may not be devastating the statistics show that so many people find it next to impossible to stop at a single glass. It is therefore makes sound sense to cut out alcohol from your diet, or at least if you find this too much to accept upon yourself, restrict your alcohol intake to red wine. Red wine is known for its antioxidant properties and when drank in moderation it can help you detoxify the body and thereby resist the formation of cellulite.
