Fiber and Cellulite - Is There A Link?

Studies show that the vast majority of women are going to have to confront this skin condition. Usually it occurs during the late 30s or 40s, but it can start to appear even earlier.

The search for a complete cure for cellulite continues to elude us, but various research projects and experiments indicate that removing an excess of toxins from the body could be the key to halting cellulite’s spread and repairing the skin damage caused so far. In this context the potential benefits of increasing the amount of fiber in our diet to help fight cellulite have recently come under scrutiny.

The importance of fiber in keeping the body healthy has been well known for many years, for example, it is recognized as helpful in lowering cholesterol levels and in controlling weight. In addition to the general benefits of following a fiber-rich diet, there are also very specific gains when it comes to controlling cellulite.

Fiber improves blood circulation and works as a cleaning agent within the body. In this manner it helps filter out some of the fats absorbed from foods, and it also improves the efficiency with which the body is able to disperse toxin buildups. In these two ways increasing the fiber content in your diet can deliver real benefits in the battle against cellulite.

If fiber is so crucial, what are the most important sources?

Fiber is found in a large number of plant sources, with whole grains, fruit and vegetables and nuts among the best known of these. Dieticians recommend that women should have around 23 grams of fiber in their daily diet, while men need approximately 35 grams. Fiber-rich foods are chewed instead of gulped down and this fact ensures that they are not consumed too quickly and leave the eater feeling satisfied after eating a relatively small amount. The calorie content of fibrous foods is also significantly lower than that of many other foods in the typical American or West European diet.

From all the perspectives, whether you consider how fiber helps clean out your system, and how it can assists you keep down weight both in terms of its low calorie content and the fact that it discourages overeating, it becomes clear that a link can be found between fiber and cellulite reduction.
