WHAT IS CELLULITE?
Cellulite is a disturbance of the subcutaneous tissue. As the name suggests, this is the tissue directly beneath the skin and is characterized by vertical (standing) fat cell chambers. In a Cellulite free body these chambers remain a relatively constant size and fat cells are kept tightly locked inside them. Circulation to the chambers is maintained so that fats can be used for energy when needed.
Cellulite develops when the connective tissues between fat cell chambers, and between the chambers and the skin, become thinner and weakened. The elastic fibers that give these connective tissues strength are diminished. Cellulite has been observed to be a cosmetic condition which primarily affects women. It is believed to be a condition that is associated with collagen destruction. In turn, the formations of lumpy, irregular fatty deposits appear as dimpled skin around the hips, buttocks and thighs of almost 90% of women.
Cellulite does not discriminate - most women of all ages, sizes and genetics have at least a minimum amount of cellulite. Contrary to popular opinion, cellulite is not exclusive to people who are over weight. Someone of average weight could have as much cellulite as someone who is over weight. Cellulite is a direct result of the deterioration of cellular structure.
There are hundreds of theories as to what causes cellulite and even more "miracle" products to combat it, but no one knows for sure what cellulite is caused by or what to do to prevent or treat it.
Many experts believe that cellulite is caused by a combination of factors including one's general lifestyle, diet, lack of exercise, hormonal changes and ageing. Some say that the female hormone estrogen estrogen is the main culprit and the reason why men don't get the dreaded dimples.
Hormones and ageing - partners in crime Estrogen encourages the storage of excess fat around women's' hips, thighs and bottoms. Some experts believe that women's' bodies store excess toxins in and around these fat cells and that the build-up of these waste products exacerbates the appearance of cellulite.
Ageing has also been labeled as the guilty party, as the fibers that tightly hold a young woman's skin together, shrink as one gets older. This causes increased pressure on the skin that squeezes fat, toxins and fluids outwards and around the skin fibers, resulting in the unsightly bulges on the skin's surface that we call cellulite. This effect can be best described as when you flop onto a soft bed - you sink down into the middle of the bed, and the mattress bulges out around you. Add to this the fact that when you get older, your skin also gets thinner and the "bulges" become more visible.
What we do know however, is that simple lifestyle changes like doing more exercise and eating a healthy diet can make a difference in as little as six weeks. You must however realize that the fight against cellulite requires a personal revolution in how you live you life. Only once you adopt a healthy lifestyle will you really benefit from expensive anti-cellulite potions, lotions and machines.
