My Favorite Miracle Foods - Lose Weight, Look Amazing, And Shed Pounds Like Magic

Show me a diet high in flavonoids, polyphenols, and EFAs, and I’ll show you a woman with silky, shiny hair, glowing skin, and not a speck of cellulite on her body. Ok, obviously you have to live a fairly healthy life all around to attain hair, skin, and body perfection, but these nutrients will definitely help you get there.

Flavonoids and Polyphenols

Powerful antioxidants that protect cells from free radicals and can actually reduce existing cellular damage, these awesome nutrients are amazingly effective at fighting cellulite.

Two fabulous sources of of both nutrients are apples and cranberries. Apples are easy enough–we’re talking raw apples, preferably organic. All varieties are great. Eat them. Lots of them.

Cranberries: The Surprisingly Effective Cellulite Fighter

As for cranberries, you need to be a little more specific. You can’t just go get the Ocean Spray cranberry juice off the shelf at the grocery store and assume you’re getting the good stuff. Most packaged cranberry juices are loaded with sugar, which totally counteracts the effects of natural cranberry juice. Besides sugar is truly the worst thing you can eat if you’re trying to melt away cellulite. And those low-end brands are mostly grape juice, anyway, with a tiny bit of cranberry juice added. To get the full benefit, you need to real stuff.

So you need to look for all-natural, sugar-free, 100 percent cranberry juice.

I buy a brand called Mountain Sun Pure Cranberry Juice in the organic section of my grocery store. But if you can’t find it, you can always make your own cranberry juice by boiling fresh, whole cranberries in a little water and straining out the berries themselves.

My only caveat is that pure cranberry juice is some incredibly tart stuff. It’s not very easy to drink. What I do is water it down–literally. I add about a quarter cup of cranberry juice to a full glass of water, and drink up. The water cuts the tartness, and it’s really quite refreshing. I’ll also often add a lemon wedge, which ends up being quite delicious.
