Causes of cellulite

Cellulite represents one of the most negative aspects of the skin. Over 80% of women
fight cellulite through specifically different ways. These include diets, massages or
different crèmes lotions and potions. Due to the connection between women and the
estrogen hormone, cellulite is usually strictly a feminine problem. However there are a

few men who suffer with cellulite. The explanation for this is probably the small level of
estrogen hormones in their body.

Nobody knows what really causes it, but there are enough theories concerning the causes
of cellulite. What we can say is that, the causes of cellulite are numerous and different.
But, one thing most common for cellulite is its origin.

Specialists believe it all begins in adolescence, when the estrogen hormone begins to
trigger the laying down of the fat in the body. This happens because the cells become
enlarged in the sub-dermis, and shows on the thighs and hips. Gradually, the lymph fluid
that passes through these tissues starts to accumulate. The fat cells tend to be compressed
and start to harden into lumps. Cellulite is the result.

But this is not the only problem that makes cellulite appear on our bodies. Several
lifestyle factors can also cause cellulite. Among them is drinking alcohol, the lack of
exercise, smoking, food additives, chemical preservatives, excess ingestion of sugars and
fats, and so on. Aging is also an important factor. Due to the aging process, there is a
decrease of the tone and thickness of the connective tissue within the dermis, making
cellulite appear much more quickly in an older person.

skin forms a net that is perpendicular in shape. A woman's net of fibrous tissue is formed
by X's. It is also believed that the fibrous tissue of women is woven tighter; this is why
the dimpling effects are so much worse in women than they are in men.

Recent studies have shown there are more and more obese people all around the world
and it's getting worse every year. (This is the case of the more developed countries). In
fact, 35% of the population in US, and about 20% in UK are obese. These statistics are
mirrored in most western countries. Because we are a "growing" society, the effects of
cellulite will only become more pronounced as it is a much worse problem in those
women who are overweight. It is also much more difficult to irradicate.

Of course slim women do get cellulite, but it doesn't usually appear to be as much of a
problem for them as it is for women who are obese. So the obvious choice here if you
have cellulite and you are overweight, is to lose weight, start eating sensibly and take
some exercise. The cellulite then should start to improve if not disappear completely.
