P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

A Detox Diet for Cellulite

By El Bilson

Cellulite is a condition that affects many women of all ages. A detox diet for cellulite is something that may help you get rid of your cellulite.

Are you looking into doing a detox diet for cellulite? While there is no specific diet that will completely get rid of cellulite, detox diets can help. There are several detox diets that you can try and we will look at where to find more information on these special diets.

How exactly does a detox diet help improve your skin? What does it mean to detox the body? This is a good starting point for more information on detox diets and how they work. Before you start a detox diet it is crucial to check with your doctor. This is especially important if you have health problems or are on any medications.

The body has several different organs that help keep it clean. Toxins are found in the foods we eat as well as many every day chemicals that seep into the skin. These toxins are often lodge in the fat cells and various organs. The main detox organs include the liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph, and skin. These organs work together to keep the body working correctly.

On occasion, these organs can become overworked and may need help to do their job correctly. As mentioned, many toxins are found in the foods we eat. Cellulite and the overall appearance of the skin will improve once you change your diet. And a good way to start is by detoxifying your body. After that you can choose low fat, high fiber foods that will continue to improve the functioning of the body.

Many of us are eating processed foods that are unhealthy for the body. With the wide availability of junk food, it is easy to not stick to a healthy diet. My husband and I travel a lot and many of our meals are fast foods. Many people give into their cravings for french fries or pizza on a regular basis. But over time these foods and others like them cause the body to be hampered with toxins. This causes the organs to not function as well as they could.

These toxins put extra work on the liver and kidneys and the other detox organs. Going on a brief detox diet gives these organs a rest and allows them to clean the extra toxins from the body. Detoxifying the body allows these organs to play catch up on the work they are designed for.

Cellulite is the term used to describe the unsightly look that is found on the skin. As skin ages the connective tissue, called septa, in the subcutaneous layer of the skin loses its elasticity. When this happens, the fat deposits that are a normal part of the body push up between the connective tissue. This is what causes cellulite to have a rippled or dimpled appearance.

Changing what we eat and drink can improve circulation to the septa. When blood circulation is improved, a reduction in cellulite can be achieved over time. Of course, this is a change in lifestyle. Permanent results require us to give up some of the foods we may enjoy. But the good news is that the healthy change in diet will not only improve the look of skin but will result in a healthier body as a whole.

There are lots of detox diet for cellulite to choose from. Visit your local library or bookstore or do a web search and you will find many methods to detoxify the body. Some of these detox diets include fasting. Others are liquid diets that include fresh fruit and vegetable juices. It is important to find a detox diet that you enjoy that that works for you. Make sure you do the detox diet frequently, but stick to a normal diet most days. Regular detoxing will lead to not only improve cellulite, but improved health overall.
