What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is a skin condition, which affects more than 90% of women. Directly related to hormonal variations, it also tends to worsen with age. Resulting from microcirculation impairment; cellulite is a vicious circle involving fluid retention enlargement of fat cells and an alteration of connective tissue.
Why does the skin look dimpled?
Clinically, the appearance of cellulite is the result of enlarged female hypodermic lobules, which give the skin the dimpled "orange peel" look. As a woman, you have two opposing forces, which create this visible appearance of cellulite:
* Vertical connective tissue pulling down on the skin
* Fluid retention and enlarged fat cells pushing up on the skin.
Do diet and exercise get rid of cellulite?
NO. Because cellulite is a complex problem, it must be addressed from the subcutaneous layer, to act on fluid retention. Whereas both diet and exercise affect deep fat, they fail to action the underlying cause of cellulite in the superficial tissue of your skin. Generally, even women who exercise regularly and follow low fat-diets may still have cellulite.
