Aloe, Yoga and Cellulite

Yoga and Cellulite: Woman pinching bottom

Funny how four letter words are supposed to be the bad ones, however in this case the four letter words are the good ones. Like Aloe and yoga, two of my favorite things in the world! The bad word of the day is CELLULITE, and that’s a lot more than four letters. Cellulite, which is just a glorified term for fat, is a symptom of reduced lymph circulation. Yoga helps lymph flow more freely through fatty areas, flushing toxins and reducing this nemesis. I have to say though that it’s really unfair that we women are more prone to cellulite than men. In men, not only is there generally less fat on the thighs, but also the outer skin is thicker hiding any surplus fat below.

For us women, it does not matter whether you are obese or not, cellulite has the same chance to attack you. So where does Aloe come into play? Well, recent research shows that Aloe Vera is able to prevent more cellulite from showing up on our skin.

Obviously there is no magic cure that miraculously is going to make it go away over night, however if we eat healthy, practice some recommended inversion yoga poses and utilize “the plant of immortality”, we can combat cellulite head on. At home, an easy way of treating cellulite is to buy an Aloe Vera plant and remove the gel from it, or an easier way is to just purchase a quality gel such as Real Aloe™Gelly. It is a natural and effective way to deal with cellulite. When it is massaged into the skin daily it can help to lessen the cottage cheese apperance.
