2. Foods rich in vitamin C
Vitamin C can help you deal with cellulite by making the connective tissue on the legs stronger which cuts down on the bumpy look. The best foods to eat that contain a good amount of vitamin C include broccoli, bell peppers, citrus fruits, kiwi, and berries.
3. Olive oil
It seems with such an emphasis on being trim, many people steer away from eating fats. The problem is your body needs fats for many of its functions. Olive oil is a great fat to use in your diet and it helps your thyroid stay healthy. When your thyroid is at its optimum level it keeps your metabolism in full gear, it burns the fat that can become cellulite, and it encourages the skin to create new cells.
4. Spicy foods
If you enjoy foods that make you sweat you’re in luck. Cayenne peppers and spicy chili bring the benefits of vitamin B6 to the table. This powerful vitamin helps to cut down on the dimpling effect by building up the connective tissue. The capsaicin that is found in spicy peppers can keep your metabolism elevated up to 25% for as much as three hours once you consume them. Your bolstered metabolism will help you burn off excess fat, rev up your circulation, and eliminate toxins.
5. Salmon
