Cellulite Diets

The basis or foundation of our health is the food we consume. If our diet is composed of natural foods, the digestion and absorption of substances allow for the renewal of our cells, thus maintaining a vital balance. Our diet is the secret to health and also for beauty. Our food should be adjusted depending on our weight, height, profession, age and physical activity.
The importance of establishing the habit of a healthy diet is that, besides helping to prevent excess weight, a healthy diet increases the elimination of toxic waste, that is, it helps purify the body and ensures an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals. We do not always need a lower consumption of calories, rather simply consuming natural foods that are easy to digest, and rich in fiber. This diet is great, and easy to follow because it's preparation is very simple and also suitable for the consumption of all family members.
To build a good anti-cellulite diet it is necessary to learn the characteristics of food.
A balanced diet includes all three food groups: proteins, carbohydrates and fats, along with daily vitamins and minerals.

Proteins are the basic material structure of every living being and are mainly composed of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.
The protein is broken down during digestion into simpler compounds, which are amino acids, of which twenty-two are essential for life. Some are synthesized by the body itself, but there are eight, called essential amino acids, these do not not occur and therefore should be consumed with you daily diet.
A complete protein is a protein that has in the eight essential amino acids.
Complete proteins are of animal origin: milk, yogurt, cheese, eggs, fish, poultry and meat.
Incomplete proteins are of plant origin and consist of cereals (soybeans, wheat germ), legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans) and nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts).

It is true that carbohydrates are bad?

The intake of sweets and refined products promotes fat storage! When consumed in excess, a small part is used for energy depending on your daily activity levels. The rest of the carbohydrates are deposited as triglycerides in adipose tissue. In addition, they cause a malfunction of the metabolism, and are very poor sources of vitamins and minerals.

Carbohydrates are the bodies fuel and a vital source of energy that provides the force necessary for the functioning of all organs and also to perform all our physical and mental activities.
Usually derived from vegetables and during digestion carbohydrates are converted into simple sugars - glucose, fructose and lactose - which is the state that is used as an energy source. Foods containing large amounts of carbohydrates are: flour, cereals, vegetables and fruits.

Flour is obtained from the seeds of wheat through a refining process in which the three separate parts: the outer layer is removed, the bran and germ, leaving only the middle layer which is flour. This is the most refined white and fine, simple carbohydrates contain less nutrients, vitamins and minerals. It is so important to use products prepared with whole wheat ingredients, these exist in a variety of forms including breads, crackers, noodles, cakes, ect. Whole Grain products should be consumed rather than quick white carbohydrates which are simply empty calories.

Vegetables have a low caloric intake, since the cells contain a large amount that is indigestible to humans. But importantly provide many vitamins and minerals and a high proportion of fiber as well as an abundant proportion of water. Vegetables Are divided, according to the percentage of carbohydrates they contain.
