Eat judiciously with low calorie content. Good food should make up for the normal wear and tear. Ban everything which is highly seasoned – condiments, spices, salt, pepper or toxic substances such as coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, highly fermented cheese or too acidic – tomatoes, lemons, and over-cooked foods such as stews, fatty pork meats, sauces, cooked butter, fried foods.

A cellulite should avoid as much as possible oily fish, some of the vegetables (broad beans, split peas, soya), all dry fruits, milk products, tobacco, ail confectionery, all spicy things (mustard, pickles, garlic) and drinks. Eat meals at regular hours (do not eat between meals). Try hard to eat in peace, away from noise and be completely relaxed during meals. A cellulite will need only a cooling diet, rich in green vegetables and well-balanced menus.

We must shun stuffy atmospheres and crowded streets as much as possible because of our need for this vital force. Start breathing in gently, first inflating the upper part of the thorax, and moving arms to the horizontal position and then slightly backwards, The complete breathing in process should take 6 to 12 seconds. Breathing out should be done slowly. Begin by collapsing the upper part of the chest, then the lower part, and end by contracting the stomach. To empty the chest completely, lower the arms, the shoulders and the head bent slightly forward and back slightly arched.

Gentle and gradually increasing massage, which arouses sensation rather than pain, always dispels cellulite from the place to which it is applied. Various massage movements applied on the body will be described in detail in one of the coming chapters. Remember, massage should never cause pain, but should be hard enough all the same to arouse more sensitivity than it would have done on a perfectly healthy area.

Blood circulation has to be improved. Body brushing the skin is an ancient therapeutic practice which exfoliates and tones your skin, helps slow the skin’s aging process, increases circulation and alleviates muscle tension. You can also use exfoliating loofahs. To make loofah scrub: Mix 1-2 drops each of lemon oil and fennel seed oil in a vegetable scrub (which contains papain enzymes). Make a paste by adding water, rub with soft brush gently to avoid scraping your skin.

1 kg of body fat contains 7500 kcal energy. If you reduce 250 kcal from regular food intake and burn another 250 kcal by exercise – the total calorie reduction amounts to 500 kcal or roughly 3500 kcal per week. Thus the total reduction in weight per month will be 2 kg per month. This is considered to be the safe method of losing weight.
