Cellulite plagues women of all shapes, sizes and ages. Nearly 90% of women complain of cellulite. Though cellulite is more prominent in fat or overweight people, even the women on the thin side have complained of it as well.
Cellulite is the layer(s) of fat that gets deposited beneath the skin. It gives a dimpled, bumpy and lumpy look to the skin and is most often noticeable at the hips, abdomen and the thighs. Since these areas are fat prone in women, you will find more women with cellulite. Cellulite pushes against the connective tissues under the skin, giving you that wrinkled, curled up, bulging look at the top. Cellulite is not a ‘fat only’ thing, though losing weight can help you get rid of cellulite as well. It is not really harmful, but many women want to get rid of it because of the way it looks. It is often less noticeable on darker skin and the wrinkles can be easily covered by using a sunscreen.
Not really well-understood, but cellulite is thought to be caused by either one or more of the below mentioned reasons:
Losing cellulite from your body may seem like one hard nut to crack, but simple lifestyle and diet changes can help manifold. Shed off those extra pounds by regular exercising, focusing on burning fat. High intensity cardio exercises like running coupled with abdominal exercises can help you get rid of cellulite. Jogging, swimming, jumping, swimming can all help control cellulite appearance. Stress also contributes to slower metabolism and hormonal imbalances. Keep your stress levels low, do not over think and maintain your hormones in harmony. Deep breathing techniques can help with stress and you can opt for aromatherapy as well.
Anti-cellulite creams have flooded the markets but their effectiveness is still questionable. No medical research has proven the effectiveness of any anti-cellulite cream. These creams claim to dissolve fat and thus smoothen the skin. Some of them also contain aminophylline, a drugs used to treat asthma and can cause harm to some people. Some creams can even cause circulatory problems by forcing water from skin and narrowing down the blood vessels. Anti-cellulite creams cannot really help you get rid of cellulite, and do nothing more than deceive you through their advertisements.
In the end, try balancing your hormones as hormones play a key role in how you look and feel and control your metabolism. Keep yourself stress free, and keep toxins away from your body.
