Research shows that between eighty-five and ninety-eight percent of women have cellulite. Pregnancy may not help with statistics since hormone changes and weight gain may make it more noticeable during these months. Applying moisturizing creams and gently massaging the affected areas may cause the skin to look firmer and better looking, at least temporarily. After giving birth, women can deal with this issue by eating healthily, drinking plenty of water, and taking up an exercise routine. It is not recommended to lose weight abruptly. It is more beneficial to do it steadily and gradually since fad dieting may worsen cellulite.

Restrictive diets, also known as fad diets, are another prevalent cause of cellulite. The reason for this is that some of them provide individuals with unhealthy fats and too much sodium. In addition, these diets do not supply the body with the appropriate nutrients to keep the skin and the body healthy. Losing too much weight at once and in an abrupt manner may not help either. It is advisable to lose weight steadily and gradually to prevent the appearance of cellulite.

Watching portion sizes and following a healthy and balanced diet rich in fruit, vegetables, fiber, lean protein, and healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids may also help. Eating healthy will make a person feel better and happier with how they look, promote cell regeneration and collagen production, and increase energy levels. Drinking plenty of water and avoiding alcohol, soft drinks, and sugary juices with empty calories will benefit the skin's overall appearance as well as the function of the body.
