Cellulite is Attractive Only If You Are an Orange

Cellulite can be defined as a range of symptoms including thinning of the epidermis, reduction and breakdown of the microvasculature leading to subdermal accumulations of fluids, and subdermal agglomerations of fatty tissue.

Now in English:

Cellulite is deposits of fats trapped in pockets of connective tissues that are situated just under the skin. It is responsible for a progressive bulky appearance with creases and layers of fats that are visible even from a distance. It's the lumpy cottage cheese look or orange peel appearance. Cellulite is that dimpling or pucker look. If you are female and over 35, you probably know what I mean. If you don't have it, you are sure to have seen it in over 80% of females in that age group. And more recently, even teenagers have been seen with the unsightly condition. There is no cure. The first person to really develop a cure for cellulite will become an instant multi-millionaire. I have my credit card in hand waiting!

Causes of Cellulite

1. Hormonal changes during puberty, during pregnancy and pre/post menopausal periods
2. Overproduction of estrogen, disturbance in endocrine functions can increase fat storage in the body
3. Sedentary lifestyle that lacks of exercises and physical activities
4. Excess amount of saturated fats and sugary items in diet
5. Poor hydration
6. Poor blood circulation
7. Poor lymphatic flow

Other factors considered to the degree of cellulite in the body:

1. Genes
2. Gender
3. Amount of fat you have on your body.
4. Cellulite also depends upon how thick your skin is.
5. Your age.

The reason men typically do not have cellulite is simply because of the way the fibers within their dermis are shaped. They are not crossed,like a woman's. They are perpendicular so a build up of sweaty fat beneath the skin never takes place.Think of it like fingers. A mans fibers are like straight out fingers. Side by side. A woman has fibers that are crossed which allows the fat to seep through appearing puckered. Not only are the fibrous bands in women crossed, but also they tend to be much tighter than a man's, which causes a pulling on the skin and ends up causing the actual dimpling effect.

How to Get Rid of Cellulite? You can't really but it can be reduced.

What helps?

Physical activities such as exercises, diet and giving up sedentary lifestyle helps to reduce fat and cellulite from the body. Aerobic weight loss exercise and certain strength training are two of the best tools to win the battle against cellulite or at least slow it down. Give up certain high-calorie, high-fat and high-carbohydrate diets that can turn into fats and can get stored in the body. Include fiber in the diet. Fat present in the intestines binds to fiber or roughage and is expelled with feces.

There are a bundle of cellulite treatment products on the market such as anti cellulite cream, cellulite shoes and cellulite lotion, promising the possibility of cellulite reduction. Other types of cellulite reduction techniques include cellulite body wrap, endermologie cellulite,cellulite and liposuction,mesotherapy cellulite and cellulite massage. All come with questionable results and expense.

The best attack to reduce cellulite is to go inside the body armed with a healthy diet,and do exercises that pinpoint the cellulite areas. Not only will you reduce the cellulite but increase over all health. Strip that fat and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
