Cellulite can be very stubborn to get rid of. The fat that lies under the skin can look very unflatteri­ng. It usually targets your thighs, buttocks, stomach and arms. But contrary to popular belief, with determinat­ion, getting rid of cellulite can be done. Simply follow these few steps to get rid of your cellulite problems once and for all.

Work on your diet: Taking sodium (salt) in high amounts will encourage the fat in your body to swell, causing the cellulite to become more pronounced. Instead, substitute your high sodium diet for more fibrerich foods such as grains and vegetables.

Exercise: Focus on cardio, squats, weight lifting for your arms, sit-ups and squats. Most importantl­y, be consistent. Don’t start and get lazy. Only consistenc­y and determinat­ion bring the desired results. With time you will become as toned as you have always wanted.

Drink water: As always, water is one of the ley Fever: solutions to all your major and minor skin- related problems. Being properly hydrated will help in reducing the cellulite. Taking lemon water first thing in the morning and throughout the day as well will go a long way in banishing it.

Dry body brushing: This method is also very effective and it works on distributi­ng the fat away from the surface of your skin. Brushing your body before your shower for a few minutes every day will yield results that will shock you. Shortness of breath:

Cough: Coughing is the way your body gets rid of the infection from your lungs. Therefore, using cough syrups that may suppress it isn’t the smartest move. Instead, drinking herb infused teas rich in menthol such as peppermint and eucalyptus will aid in soothing your throat from the irritation of the cough.

Nonetheles­s, if after trying the remedies and the medication and the symptoms don’t subside after a few days, then revisit your doctor. He/she can take it up from there and decide whether to change your medication or whatever he/she feels may be appropriat­e step to take.
