Cellulite Treatment is one of the biggest challenges within the niche of weight loss. Cellulite deposits can make the skin look unsightly, rendering it a typical, dimpled look. Further, most of the non-invasive weight loss treatments don’t seem to have much effect on cellulite, forcing people to seek expensive and slightly risky options like plastic surgery. However, there is one cellulite treatment that is inexpensive, undemanding and puts forth negligible risks—Apple Cider Vinegar Treatment.
What Is Apple Cider Vinegar?
Natural apple cider vinegar is prepared by crushing apples and fermenting them in natural conditions. The fermentation is carried out in wooden barrels. This natural form of fermentation is slower than industrial fermentation used for refined vinegars. This form of apple cider vinegar has a greater concentration of nutrients like calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, sulfur and fluorine.
How Apple Cider Works
Cellulite is largely a result of impaired metabolism in people wherein their fatty acids aren't broken down in the usual manner. As a result, the unused fatty acids are increasingly deposited upon the connective tissues, under the skin, creating cellulite. Another reason that impairs the metabolism of cellulite is poor circulation of blood. People with impaired circulation have a tendency to suffer toxin accumulation. The toxins slowly get impacted along the cellulite layers, further impairing the circulation of blood and lymph, making cellulite more impervious to the body’s fat-metabolizing mechanism.
Apple cider vinegar addresses each of the above-listed issues as:
- It strengthens the body’s immune system, ensuring that nutrients can be used for the body’s own metabolic activities rather than for fighting-off infections. A higher, revved-up metabolic rate means that the catabolism (breakdown) of fatty deposits is more likely. This is often referred to an increase in the basal metabolic rate wherein catabolism of fats is appreciably raised, helping in all-round weight loss.
- It is a natural source of acetic acid. It has the ability to cleanse the intestines that are often overwhelmed by harmful microbes and toxins that slow down the body’s metabolic rate, pushing the individual into a state of storing more fat.
- It is a rich source of micronutrients that are needed for sustaining the body’s higher rate of metabolism. The primary micronutrients in cider vinegar are vitamin B6 and lecithin. Other ingredients like potassium and sodium are also useful for maintaining the body’s higher, fat-burning metabolic rate.
- It helps to improve circulation of blood. This essentially means that toxins accumulated around the cellulite-heavy sites are more likely to be directed towards the body’s natural filtration and toxin-removing mechanisms.
Using Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is easily available in grocery stores. People can start a regimen wherein they should consume a mix of apple cider vinegar every morning on an empty stomach and half-an-hour before every major meal. For making the cider mix, honey and water can be mixed with vinegar. Start by mixing two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with one tablespoon of honey and then dilute this mix with about 6 ounces of water. People can also buy apple cider vinegar capsules that contain a concentrated form of apple cider vinegar.
