　　“If you are a "muscular type", you will not be particularly fat no matter how much you eat, but your thighs will appear thick due to excess muscle. Here are 4 ways to help you slim down your legs.

　　The method is: chop 2 small tomatoes, add 1 spoon of honey, mix and make juice, apply the mixture on the legs, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and tap the film surface gently to help the nutrients penetrate.

　　Or apply a leg mask and walk around the house for a few times. The skin will sweat slightly and the leg slimming effect will be better.

　　3. Give up high heels or wear wedges instead

　　Research has found that if you wear high heels that are more than 5 cm tall, your thigh muscle fibers will thicken by 8% after 5 years, and the muscles will be formed unconsciously.

　　So it’s best to switch to slightly flatter wedges. The pressure area of ​​wedge shoes is much larger than that of high heels, and the tension in the thigh muscles is much less.

　　4. Eat light and vegetarian food

　　Eating too much salt is also a major cause of muscle gain. When cooking food, you can use more mixed sauces made of white vinegar, lemon, and orange juice to reduce the amount of salt.

　　In addition, don’t forget to eat more spinach and bananas that are rich in the mineral potassium. Potassium can help the body excrete sodium, minimize the residence time of salt in the body, and reduce the speed of muscle fiber binding.
