“During the last 25 years I have seen a lot of clients at our cellulite clinic who suffered from constipation and I have never seen anyone fail to stop constipation and be able to go to the toilet within 24 hours when they consumed two heaped tablespoons of chia seeds or ground flax seeds with two large glasses of water once or twice a day.

Constipation, water retention, fibre and cellulite
Digestive problems such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and leaky gut syndrome can make cellulite worse, due to the increased water retention and inflammation they cause (low grade inflammation and water retention are two important aspects of cellulite).
Fibre, found in all vegetables and fruits, is beneficial for managing IBS, maintaining good digestion and keeping cholesterol and blood glucose level low, thereby contributing to good overall health.
Soluble fibre for constipation, IBS, digestive health, cholesterol and blood sugar management
Soluble fibre, in particular, is especially good for constipation, as it absorbs water and turns into a gel-like substance that creates softer stools and facilitates bowel motility, thereby helping with constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and bloating.
Additionally, all fibre, including soluble fibre, also acts as a prebiotic for your own probiotic bacteria in the gut, thereby further helping with IBS, digestive complaints and leaky gut syndrome.
The following foods are rich in soluble fibre: apples, bananas, berries, figs, oranges, pears, beans, lentils, peas, almonds, pumpkin seeds, avocado, broccoli, brussels sprouts, carrots, green beans, sweet potato, barley, brown rice, quinoa, psyllium and rye, among others.
Chia seeds, flax seeds, oats and cellulite prevention
However, the richest foods in soluble fibre by far are ground or cracked chia seeds (35g per 100g), flaxseeds (28g per 100g) and oats (10g per 100g).
During the last 25 years I have seen a lot of clients at our cellulite clinic who suffered from constipation and I have never seen anyone fail to stop constipation and be able to go to the toilet within 24 hours when they consumed two heaped tablespoons of chia seeds or ground flax seeds with two large glasses of water once or twice a day.
Oatmeal is a popular breakfast for many people while ground flax/chia seeds can be added to salads, soups or yoghurt. Cracked flax/chia seeds are great for smoothies and shakes (must be added right before drinking though, to avoid thickening the smoothie/shake).
Furthermore, both chia seeds (18g per 100g) and flaxseeds/linseeds (25g per 100g) are rich in the omega-3 fatty acid alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which has multiple beneficial effects in the body, indirectly also helping with cellulite and water retention.
All in all, making soluble fibre a key part of your nutrient intake, especially in the form of chia and flax seeds and can multiple beneficial effects on the body and skin in particular.
Sure, soluble fibre will not ‘get rid’ of cellulite but it can definitely help partially prevent it and contribute in reducing it, as part of a healthy nutrition and exercise regime. This is why we recommend all clients at the clinic to increase their intake of soluble fibre.
LipoTherapeia® Plus: Have a skin tightening/cellulite treatment with London’s cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
