If you have wide hips, then you know how difficult it is to remove fatty deposits from them, especially those that resemble pillows in several layers.
Even if you lose weight, the hip pads will almost certainly remain. However, there are a few tricks that will help you get rid of them and get the figure you dream of.
What are fat deposits on the hips?
According to doctors, these fat deposits appear for several reasons – hormonal imbalance, circulation problems, too much sitting, childbirth and stress.
But mainly, women are programmed to accumulate fat on their hips because of their fertility.
Fat in this area begins to appear at puberty, and the accumulation lasts until about the age of 22.
When a woman’s menstrual cycle stabilizes, the fat on the hips becomes hard. And this very tissue is difficult to remove, even if you exercise regularly and eat healthy.
Tricks to reduce fat deposits on the hips
To achieve this, you will need to make a few lifestyle changes.
– Sleep more. Due to the lack of sleep, the body begins to produce the hormone ghrelin, which causes a feeling of hunger. But sleeping 7-8 hours a night regulates its level.
– Start the morning with a cup of coffee. Coffee is a diuretic and stimulates the metabolism. At the same time, it helps burn calories during exercise.
– Add electrolytes (banana, yogurt, green vegetables) to the diet. Calcium, magnesium and potassium help to remove salt from the body. The more you ingest, the less salt will be retained in the tissue. This will reduce the accumulation of fat and cellulite.
– Watch your diet, but don’t starve. If you eat fewer calories than you need, your body will start storing fat. Well, starving yourself is no solution. Instead, snack on carrots and vegetables throughout the day and add more protein to your diet.
– Massage the area with essential oils. Make a mixture of blue clay and a few drops of lemon and rosemary oil. Massage the mixture onto your hips. Then wrap yourself in plastic film, let it stand for about 40 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Which exercises are most effective?
According to experts, aerobic exercises are the best for this problem. At the same time, they will help you remove excess salt and water from the body.
