Mar 31, 2015Melanie Burgers

As discussed in Part Two last week, oedema  is the term used for the retention of water in a sluggish lymphatic system. Without intervention, some of this lymph and its impurities end up getting re-absorbed into the body and the hard residue sticking to the tissues just below the skin become those deposits that start forming cellulite.

Below is a list of 'Good Foods', that help remove impurities and promote the stimulation of the lymph system. Water  - Drink between 6 - 8 cups of water daily (1.5L - 2L).Fresh fruits and vegetables - Eat at least 5 portions of fruit and veg a day.

Oedema and Celluvac Part Two

Mar 23, 2015Carol Burgers

As discussed in Part One last week, oedema  is the term used for the retention of water in a sluggish lymphatic system. This liquid is comprised of impurities and toxins that would normally be eliminated had the system been functioning correctly. Instead of getting flushed out and evacuated from the body, this "heavy" and "dirty" liquid lies stagnant in the lymph. Without intervention, some of this lymph and its impurities end up getting re-absorbed into the body and the hard residue sticking to the tissues just below the skin become those deposits that start forming cellulite. While the Celluvac massage can help stimulate the lymph system and assist the body in getting rid of the stagnant fluid you will find prevention is always better than cure. One of the ways you can prevent this build up is by looking at the food you consume.Sodium and sodium rich foods that affect fluid retention. The human  body is sensitive and is always trying to maintain homeostasis at the cellular level. Your cells are filled and surrounded with water. Around and within those cells specific water percentages are controlled by chemical process which involve sodium and potassium levels, Hormones and proper kidney function.  Generally if you are taking in an excess amount of sodium  (which is easy to do in today's society,) the mechanism which expels the water from your cells is inhibited thus causing them to swell.  This is the basic science behind sodium related water retention.Foods to avoid that exacerbate cellulite:  Salty foods  - keeping the salt shaker at bay is good practice.Processed and preserved meats -  preserved foods contain salt to prevent spoiling by prohibiting the forming of bacteria and to enhance the flavor sodium is addedCanned foods - sodium us added to make sweet things even sweeter, and  it can also mask unsavory or metallic flavors that accompany packaged and processed productsPackaged meals -  microwaved meals, though convenient are high in salt and sodium, as are frozen drinks; instant meals; and toaster snacksNext week we will discuss the foods that assist our bodies in their fight against CelluliteCarol BurgersIAHB/ITEC (Austria) DIP.Reflexology/Shiatsu/Aromatherapy/Massage

Oedema and Celluvac Part One

Mar 16, 2015Carol Burgers

Just as with cellulite, it is mostly women who suffer from a swelling (and fluid retention) known as oedema. Since oedema is a symptom of a wide range of disorders, the diagnostic goal is to find the underlying cause. In addition to taking a medical history and conducting a physical examination, a doctor will pay special attention to the location and nature of the swelling as it can be indicative of the cause. Marked swelling of one limb (arm or leg) often suggests a blockage of the affected areas lymph channels. While Doctors usually prescribe diuretics, they only work for short periods of time, and the swelling returns after the tablet has worn off. Rather use the Celluvac massage to unblock and get sluggish lymph channels running properly again. The suction and movement of the Celluvac cups address the root cause of the swelling, which means that once the swelling is gone, it is unlikely to come back anytime soon. You will need to spend only a few minutes a day on each swollen area with your Celluvac cups , and in no time you will get the system balanced and up and running properly again. It is also important to remember that a good lymph flow means less toxic build up which in turn means no cellulite!Carol BurgersIAHB/ITEC (Austria) DIP.Reflexology/Shiatsu/Aromatherapy/Massage

Why do I have cellulite on my thighs?

Mar 3, 2015Carol Burgers

The reason so many women, even slim women, get cellulite on their hips and thighs is due to the female hormone estrogen. The hormone naturally makes women more prone to acquire and storing fat in this area. What's more, is women store more of their fat just under the skin's surface; whereas men store their fat internally - underneath their muscles.  As women become older, surface skin becomes thinner and less elastic, and the dimpling becomes more exaggerated. It's therefore a natural characteristic of the female body - and while it may be distressing for these women who have it - it does not cause any physical harm. It is worth noting that the dimpling effect may be made worse by sunbathing, since excessive exposure to sunlight is known to cause the skin to lose its elasticity.Keeping cellulite from forming those ugly deposits should always be every woman's top priority. So apart from avoiding too much sun exposure, follow these tips to keep cellulite at bay:   Eat lots of fresh raw vegetables - especially green ones Drink plenty of good clean water Exercise regularly ie. by walking, cycling, yoga etc. Use Celluvac daily Foods to Avoid: Fatty foods like meat, dairy products Ice cream Slap chips/deep-fried chips Packet chips (crisps) Biscuits Cakes Sweets and chocolates Carol BurgersIAHB/ITEC (Austria) DIP.Reflexology/Shiatsu/Aromatherapy/Massage

Understanding Cellulite

Feb 2, 2015Carol Burgers

In this article we'll discuss the dimpled appearance of the skin, and what causes it. This dreaded condition is more commonly known to us all as cellulite. Cellulite manifests itself by generally targeting the thighs, buttocks, lower limbs and to a lesser degree the torso. If left untreated, it can become very severe and hard to eradicate. The word Cellulite is sometimes confused by Cellulitis. Cellulitis is in fact term for the infection of skin and its underlying connective tissue. Cellulite (also known as adiposis edematosa, dermopanniculosis deformans, status protrusus cutis, gynoid lipodystrophy, andorange peel syndrome) is the rupturing  of subcutaneous fat within fibrous  connective tissue that manifests topographically as skin dimpling and nodularity, often on the pelvic region (specifically the buttocks), thighs, lower limbs and abdomen. Cellulite occurs mainly in most post-pubescent females History of Cellulite The term was first used in the 1920s by spa and beauty services to promote their services, and began appearing in English language publications in the late 1960s, with the earliest reference in Vogue magazine; "Like a swift migrating fish, the word cellulite has suddenly crossed the Atlantic." Its existence as a real disorder has been challenged, and the prevailing medical opinion is that it is merely the 'normal condition of many women'. The prospect of sales creates an incentive for disease mongering. Based on recent research, it is more likely that cellulite is a natural part of the human body than a disease Causes The cause of cellulite include metabolic changes, physiology, dieting too hard or too much, sex-specific dimorphic skin architecture, alteration of connective tissue structure, hormonal factors, genetic factors, the microcirculatory system, the extracellular matrix as well as subtle inflammatory alterations. Hormonal factorsHormones play a dominant role in the formation of cellulite.  Estrogen may be the important hormone to initiate and aggravate cellulite. However, there has been no reliable clinical evidence to support such a claim. Other hormones, including insulin, the catecholamines*, adrenaline and noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin, are all believed to participate in the development of cellulite. Genetic factorsThere is a genetic element in individual susceptibility to cellulite. Researchers  have traced the genetic component of cellulite to particular  polymorphisms in the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1A (HIF1A)  genes. Predisposing factorsSeveral factors have been shown to affect the development of cellulite.  Sex, race, biotype, distribution of subcutaneous fat, and predisposition to lymphatic and circulatory insufficiency have all been shown to contribute to cellulite. LifestyleA high stress lifestyle will cause an increase in the level of catecholomines*, which have also been associated with the evolution of cellulite. Certain dieting practices can also diminish the level of these chemicals, and decreasing body fat typically results in the reduction in appearance of cellulite *Catecholamines are water-soluble and are 50%-bound to plasma proteins when they circulate in the bloodstream.  (In the human body the most abundant catecholamines are adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine.

So...You Have Cellulite

Nov 21, 2014Carol Burgers

          But there’s no need to be embarrassed!  As many as 90% of all women have cellulite in at least one area of their body. While there’s yet a cure to be found for cellulite, it is possible to diminish, as well as prevent it. The easiest way to do this is to know what exactly causes it. has yet to come a cure for cellulite, it is wise to know what causes it, to prevent it or at least diminish your chances of getting it. So What Is Cellulite? Cellulite is the appearance of dimples and bumps of subcutaneous fat affecting the texture if the skin.  Many women refer to this texture as either a "cottage cheese" or "orange peel" effect. Cellulite is most commonly developed on the buttocks, thighs, and hips.  Most doctors believe that cellulite is caused by poor circulation and bad elasticity in the skin. How Does This Happen? When an over production of fat cells occurs, these fat cells become too large for the natural fibre compartments which hold the skin. These compartments then bulge, as they are trying to accommodate the load. In turn this creates uneven layers of fat underneath the skin’s surface - and cellulite appears.How Can I Prevent This? First and foremost try to eat correctly; wherever possible avoid fast foods, starches, fats and sugars. Keep the alcohol levels low ,and drink plenty of fresh uncontaminated water to help flush out the system.  Remember that it is important to keep the circulatory system working at an optimal levels at all times to prevent a sluggish lymphatic system housing impurities and toxins. Good news is that a 75 % raw food diet is claimed to prevent cellulite forming, to eliminate existing cellulite and to prevent further build up. In further posts we will discuss exciting raw juice combinations that if taken daily, will keep the dreaded cellulite monster at bay!
