I thought this Cellulite Busting Juice Recipe was perfect to share following my last post How to Reduce Cellulite: 5 Natural Treatments. I spoke about the importance of supporting the lymphatic system and healthy circulation. This means the body can then effectively remove excess toxins stored in interstitial cells, which is what cellulite is caused by.

Will drinking this juice alone magically make cellulite disappear? I wish, but no, it won’t. Combined with the other tips in this article though, it will.

A diet rich in raw hydrating foods is incredible for the lymphatic system. Juices are particularly amazing because they are bursting full of living enzymes, structured water and nutrients.

What makes this juice so special when it comes to reducing cellulite?

The combination of ingredients in this recipe work together to naturally support your body’s ability to reduce cellulite. In particular, grapefruit is a key ingredient to remove toxic buildup in the body. They contain large amounts of the anti-inflammatory enzyme bromelain. This enzyme exhibits fibrinolytic activity and helps break down fibrinogen. Fibrinogen is the tissue responsible for the structural formation of cellulite.

I share the following excerpt in my juice recipe ebook:

“Grapefruit is touted as one of the best fruits for weight loss. It has a compound called nootkatone, which activates an enzyme called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This enzyme enhances energy metabolism and supports weight loss.”

Health Benefits of Grapefruit

• improves circulation
• supports the immune system

Other Cellulite Busting Juice Recipe Ingredients

• 2 red apples: red apples are rich in quercetin which reduces inflammation and supports a healthy immune system. Red Apples are very high in antioxidants which help prevent oxidative damage to the skin and cells.
• 2 pears: pears are high in antioxidants, helping to prevent oxidative stress and strengthening the skin barrier  This study also showed that pears also support weight loss.
• Thumb length piece of ginger: ginger is anti-inflammatory and improves blood circulation by lowering your blood pressure. This means oxygen and nutrients will be delivered to the tissues more efficiently giving you healthier skin.

Drink this juice two to three times per week in the morning on an empty stomach. Incorporate all the other points in this article and you’ll be well on your way to melting away stubborn cellulite and achieving beautiful, smooth toned skin.
