Cellulite happens to us for many reasons. Some
reasons-- like genetics or hormones -- you can do very little about.
But cellulite is also related to a number of other factors that
you CAN work with and improve.
Cellulite affects 90% of women and a much smaller
percentage of men. The condition is such a complex one that no real
cure is considered to be available. Some products, therapies and
procedures do claim to be cures but the jury is still very much
out on the subject of getting rid of cellulite.
The unsightly symptoms are found on the soft, fleshy
parts of women's thighs, buttocks, stomachs and upper arms. Though
it is often associated with sedentary people, who are also overweight,
the condition can make itself at home on the fit thighs and buttocks
of marathon runners.
Opinions vary as to the exact causes of cellulite
but most agree that something happens in the tissues to slow down
and handicap the ordinary processes of lymph and blood circulation
in the capillaries of the subcutaneous tissue. Some experts believe
that excess fat will make the fat cells in the mesoderm swell, placing
a strain on the surrounding connective tissue and resulting in a
compromised microcirculation. Others believe that the situation
is created by a genetic disposition coupled with hormonal imbalances.
The tissue responds to its embattled circumstances
by forming extended tissue strands called septae that restrict the
fat cells and cause the rippled, lumpy skin surface indicative of
cellulite. The resulting sluggish and damaged microcirculation allows
lymph fluid to leak into the surrounding tissue while hampering
the transport of nutrients.
With this deeper understanding of exactly what
is happening beneath the skin of the affected areas we can make
informed decisions on what to do to alleviate the symptoms and revive
the skin.
Here are some important aspects of a comprehensive
cellulite reduction program:
Losing the Excess
Any plan to alleviate the symptoms of cellulite
must include a healthy weight loss program for those carrying more
than their healthy body weight. Excess weight causes fat cells to
swell contributing to the tissue strain that results in the orange
peel effect.
A diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, as well
as a good eight glasses of water a day to flush toxins, will begin
the restorative process of proper nutrition at the point of origin.
Making sure that your diet includes plenty of all the necessary
vitamins especially B for stress, as well as C, bioflavonoids and
minerals is a good way to begin the recovery process.
Eating Right to reduce cellulite
Vigorous exercise is an absolute necessity. It
will help to stimulate sluggish circulation throughout the body
as well as targeting the troubled areas. Regular exercise, at least
three times a week for 40 minutes or more, will have far reaching
effects on many of the body's systems, firing up metabolism and
getting the lymph and blood flowing.
Laying on Hands and Lotion
Milder cases of cellulite can be ministered to
by means of a good massage regime using one or other of the reputable
creams and lotions on the market. Many creams contain natural botanical
ingredients that are tissue decongestants as well as stimulants
for the microcirculation. For example Revitol
Cellulite cream.
Consider having a few deep tissue massages from
experts and learn some tips. Go home and practice on yourself. The
more attention the problem areas receive the more dynamic and alive
the tissues will become. Circulation will improve and toxins can
be convinced to evacuate.
Consulting the Real Experts
Serious cases of cellulite may benefit from the
advice of real experts. You will have to employ serious discernment
when figuring out whom to turn to. The Internet offers you unprecedented
opportunities to check and recheck claims. Procedures can be thoroughly
researched before deciding which program to go for. Be skeptical.
In this day and age it is the reasonable response to the plethora
of false promises that threaten to take advantage of the vulnerable.
