Commonly found on the thighs, buttocks, and back of the arms, cellulite is composed of fat cells that accumulate and expand underneath the skin. These fat deposits push against tissues, causing the dimpled appearance of affected areas. To avoid the appearance of cellulite and to maintain the results of cellulite-reducing procedures, here are five nutritious food choices:

Salmon. Nutritionists report that salmon is filled with Omega-3 fatty acids that are helpful in repairing and strengthening the tissues and fibers in skin. The antioxidants present in salmon are also helpful in eliminating the fat cells present in cellulite.

Eggs and soy products. These contain lecithin, which plays a big role in rebuilding cell walls and tissues through hydration. Other nutritious picks that have lecithin are cauliflower, spinach, oranges, and tomatoes.

Apple cider vinegar. This has minerals, magnesium, and calcium that are important players in retaining water and eliminating toxins lurking around the thighs and stomach areas. Apple cider vinegar mixes well with some juice and is also perfect as a salad dressing.

Cayenne peppers. These can boost metabolism, aiding in fat loss. Cayenne peppers restore connective tissues and expel toxins from the body.

Green tea. It does not only relax the body but also reduces cellulite because it can break down fats. It has Epigallocatechin gallate, a substance which encourages fat burning. Less fats mean less accumulation of cellulite.
