Orange peel is, without a doubt, one of the worst nightmares for any woman. We all know that fat deposits create a spongy and dimpled appearance on hips, thighs, arms, and legs. Therefore, ActitudFEM shared with us 10 foods against cellulite:
Dr. Howard Murad, author of The Cellulite Solution, states that it's not about dieting to lose weight, but about nourishing the deep cells of the skin and filling the affected areas. For this, it's necessary to consume amino acids and antioxidants, present in citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits, pomegranates, and berries.
Include them in your diet and forget about cellulite
According to the specialist, the 10 foods that help us get rid of cellulite naturally are:
Bananas
This fruit is ideal against cellulite because it prevents water retention and promotes healthy blood circulation, thanks to its high potassium content. With this benefit, toxins that can be responsible for orange peel skin are eliminated.

Rosemary
It stimulates circulation, improves the digestion of fats, and prevents waste from accumulating under the skin.

It also contains ursolic acid, which facilitates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, strengthens capillaries, and combats free radical damage.
