Below I’ll discuss some of the more common reasons for cellulite.

1. Genetics and heredity. Genes play a big role in your chance of developing cellulite. However, it is primarily a female issue and affects 90% of women.

2. Not enough water. Drinking lots of water will help flush toxins out your body. Since cellulite is a mixture of fat, water, and toxic wastes that the body has failed to eliminate, drinking plenty of water can help diminish cellulite.

3. Poor diet. A poor diet consisting of alcohol and processed foods contribute to cellulite since the toxins they produce get trapped in fatty tissue. Some say that spicy foods can contribute, but personally I think that is just because spicy foods are also overly salty.

4. Smoking. Here’s another reason you should quit; smoking promotes cellulite by damaging the connective tissue in your body. This causes the dimpled effect in cellulite.

5. Medication. Diet pills and sleeping pills can lead to cellulite. Birth control pills also increases cellulite formation because of their tendency to produce high levels of estrogen. All of these things lead to water retention which inhibits the body from flushing the system of toxins, leading to the formation of cellulite. That is why it is important to drink lots of water which will help flush these toxins from your system.

6. Sedentary lifestyle. The results of a sedentary lifestyle, poor circulation and muscle tone, can cause cellulite development. Lack of exercise hardens the connective tissue in the skin which causes dimples.
   
   It is important to make exercise an integral part of your daily lifestyle – and not just depend on 1-2 visits to the gym. Be sure and sign up for my free book – 60 Seconds to Slim – which will show you easy ways to integrate exercise into your daily schedule.

7. Crash diets. Crash diets increase the risk of cellulite because the body thinks it’s starving. It attempts to consume saturated fats which help build cellulite. Unfortunately, these fats block the arteries and get trapped in tissues as well, preventing sufficient waste and toxin elimination.

Recently, 20-20 had an eye-opening episode about a new discovery named Resveratrol:

And, a recent Harvard Study has declared that this “could arguably be the biggest medical discovery since anti-biotics”

Pretty heavy stuff, don’t you think? I know that when I watched that 20-Minutes special…

… I was blown away.

I mean, with a husband, 2 kids and a JOB… well, let’s just say that when I saw that one little rat who was taking resveratrol out-running the other guy, I knew I had to give this stuff a try! (if you haven’t watched the video yet, you really should

And, I am so glad that I did.

Yep, Resveratrol has been proven to:

• Burn calories & lose weight
• Stop bloating & constipation
• Slow down your aging
• Boost your energy levels

I actually got my first bottle free* and have been using it ever since. Definitely helps me keep my weight under control, plus gives me more energy to keep up with these little “rug-rats” of mine:-) . I’m loving it!

Among those that suffer from Type 2 diabetes almost 40% have high blood pressure, which is another condition that is believed to be exacerbated by excess weight. Being overweight might also lead to a condition known as insulin resistance in which the body no longer responds to the insulin that is needed to assist the body in using sugar and glucose as fuel on a cellular level.

There are some things you can do to help yourself out if you have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes or labeled at risk for this devastating condition. First of all, take off the pounds. I know this is much easier said than done. Dieting is never easy and rarely fun for the average person. However, if you do not begin to take drastic steps toward procuring the best possible health for yourself you may not be able to enjoy the quality of life you had planned for your golden years. Let your condition be your motivation and make plans to enjoy watching your grandchildren and great grandchildren graduate college.

Fight it standing up. Don’t sit down and let Diabetes control you. Stand up, take control of your body, and learn how to get lower blood sugar.

This is a fight to the finish and if you let it, diabetes will be your end. If you fight it standing up, lose the weight, get out there and exercise, listen to the doctor’s orders and follow them. Find the strength within you to battle this disease head on. You’ll be amazed at what happens when you decide to stand up and fight for your health.

Get active. Find activities that you enjoy and get out there and do them. Don’t make those activities passive activities either. Even if it’s just going out to play shuffleboard everyday get out there and play. Enjoy your time in the sun. Pick flowers with the little ones. Take up golf. Do whatever it takes to get up and moving each and every day in order to remember why you want to live forever in the first place.

Watch what you eat. Garbage in, garbage out, right? You have strict dietary requirements once you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes. This means that you absolutely must follow your dietary restrictions. Learn to live within those limits in order to live and enjoy life to the fullest you can. The amazing thing is that there are all kinds of foods available that are friendly to those with diabetes that weren’t around just a few short years ago. It is quite possible to live and eat quite nicely with diabetes if you stick to your plan. The most important thing about dieting with diabetes is that you never lose sight of how crucial it is to do so.

I’d also like to let you know about this cool info I just found about how to actually REVERSE DIABETES. This book has some breakthrough info about how to control your blood sugar levels and actually reverse diabetes.

Since this info shows you how to lower blood sugar without drugs – it has “big pharma” in an uproar.

And, even though it has some powerful allies, such as famed nutritionist Dr. Mercola, MD, you may want to grab a copy quick before the drug companies have their way and get the book banned!

Eating for some is an addiction. Unfortunately, you can’t exactly give up eating all together as a smoker can give up cigarettes. I’m not applying by any means that giving up cigarettes is easy but how much more difficult would it be if you were forced to have three a day? At that point you may as well enjoy them every time the urge hits right? The same holds true for food. You must eat in order to survive. You cannot live without eating. This means that if food is a problem in your life, you must find a healthier way of viewing food.

Isn’t this where diets generally come in handy? The short answer is no. This is where diets often fail. Diets do very little to change how we view food. In fact, most diets only serve to tell us which foods are good, which foods are bad, and which foods (typically most of the foods we enjoy most) are strictly taboo. Diets begin by forcing people to feel deprived or punished. And no one likes to feel either of these things.

Even worse however, is that we punish ourselves further when we slip along the straight and very narrow pathways upon which our diets place us. This means that we are going to wallow in guilt over every little misstep we make until we give up all together and decide to over indulge once again and ignore the guilt all together.

In order to have real success you must make a lifestyle change. This is the only way that you will be able to shed those unwanted pounds without experiencing the horrible guilt that so many dieters go through each and every step of the way with their diets. Set goals for yourself. Keep them aggressive but realistic for fitness, dropping pounds, and eating new healthy foods. Even if your goal is as simple as eating 5 vegetable servings a day it is a great place to start.

Change your way of eating. Then change your way of seeing food and you will experience amazing changes in your attitudes toward your health, your body, and even your fitness level. As the first pounds begin to drop you will begin to experience more energy and less pain when exercising. This should help keep you motivated to do even more as time goes by.

Do not think that long term weight loss goals will be as easy to achieve as the first five or ten pounds. Consistency is vitally important when making these lifestyle changes. Take each day as it comes and begin again the very next day. This means that even if you fall completely “off the wagon” today, you can start over tomorrow. The trick is in staying the course more days than not and learning moderation and balance when it comes to straying from the straight and narrow.

There are many ways to fail when it comes to dieting and I know people who have failed in almost every one I can possibly imagine. There is no way to fail, however, when you are making positive changes in your life that are getting positive results. It may take weeks, months, or even years to reach your goal. As long as you are making steady and continuous efforts and progress, you are doing many great things for your health and well being.
