Cellulite 101

Are your thighs and hips plagued by bumpy, cottage-cheese style skin? You're not alone. Approximately 80 percent of women suffer from cellulite. So, what can you do about this unsightly condition?

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite appears when the connective cords that tether your skin to muscle push against an area of fat cells. As the fat cells push out, the cords pull down creating an uneven surface on your skin. Cellulite can range from hard-to-see dimples to deeper ripples in your skin surface. It most often occurs on the hips, thighs, and backsides of women. Medically, it's completely harmless.

What Causes Cellulite?

Gaining even a small amount of weight can worsen the appearance of cellulite, but the primary culprit is genetics. Aging, less elastic skin is at greater risk for cellulite and studies have shown that stress, hormone changes, and inactivity can also be blamed. Despite the fact that cellulite is caused by expanding fat cells, remaining thin doesn't make you immune to the problem if you're genetically predisposed to it.







I found a blog and it really catches my eyes.

Female celebrities fighing (or not) with cellulite.
Not all uf us have been blessed with a firm tooshie, nice smooth legs and flat tummy. Even with long workouts and a balanced diet, expensive treatments and sauna, we just can`t get rid of the annoying cellulite. We can diminish it, of course, but it never completely fades away.

We look up to them, we pay a lot of money to see them but the celebrities also seem to have the same problem as us, mortals do. But given the amount some of them have, I would say theyare not ven trying to reduce the amount of cellulite invading their expensively insured bodies.

Here are 4 of the main ways to combat cellulite:

1. Exercises which target certain areas with cellulite help a great deal.

2. Eating a properly balanced diet is tremendously successful in clearing the toxins and fatty tissue from your body that result in cellulite.

3. Even massages and saunas have been proven to help since they aid in the elimination process, which clears fatty build up, and in turn clears cellulite.

4. Drinking more water also helps with elimination and cleansing your system from cellulite. So be sure to get your 6-8 glasses each and every day.
