Cellulite is a special kind of aesthetic problem caused by the deposition of fat, generally concentrated in the hips and thighs, especially in women. Have you ever heard of orange peel? Well, it is in those holes and those forms that this problem occurs, causing swelling and protrusions often nothing short of ugly.

Many have spoken of cellulite: it starts from opinions of experts (ie physicians and specialists) to the opinions of less experienced (women and / or girls that decide to give a testimony on their experience in this field). Some contend that cellulite is present exclusively in the fat women: this is not true. In fact happen to see some girls on the beach skinny (or definitely not overweight) and noted in their legs or their critical points of the classic holes. Not only women but are suffering from the disorder: even men will be affected, albeit considerably less than they.

To fight cellulite you can use different methods: constant physical activity, a diet with reduced intake of fat (less sugar, salt, meat and dairy, more fruits, vegetables, cereals, legumes and 6-8 glasses per day water), massage and brushing to stimulate the lymphatic system and help remove toxins, specific essential oils for aromatherapy, creams and lotions targeted, as well as liposuction and liposculpture surgical treatments through which the fat is sucked from the skin. But sometimes this may be dangerous, as we learn from the growing number of news items.

What determines the presence of cellulite?

According to various recent studies and now seems certain that cellulite is caused by the accumulation of toxins in fatty tissue and water. The lymphatic system is responsible to eliminate of waste products (toxins) from the tissues, however, if for any reason the sap slows its movement, as a result of the removal of toxins will be insufficient.

Unlike the blood circulation, lymph circulation is not driven by a pump (in the case of blood, heart) and blood to go in the body originates from muscle contractions. Therefore, it is believed that lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle make slower lymphatic circulation, making it easier to accumulation of water and toxins almost certainly responsible for the accumulation of cellulite.

They can, moreover, interfere with lymph circulation the wrong positions, the fitting garments, the habit of crossing the legs and the use of high heels. Although estrogens (hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle) can help water retention, such as premenstrual syndrome, and adds to the causes that determine the presence of cellulite. The growing number of women taking contraceptive pills (and estrogen) is considered a major artist in the increasing prevalence of cellulites in recent years.

Recent research in the U.S. has also shown that cellulite is a greater number of cells that attract water and can therefore lead to increased water retention. Even the habit (mainly women and adolescents) to put on a diet can often cause loss of skin elasticity, contributing to the formation of cellulite in very young age. So do not lose enough weight to eliminate it, because if everything is not combined with proper exercise, you get very often the opposite effect!
