What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is a normal variation in the skin that gives it the appearance of "dimpling" or an orange peel look that many women get on their thighs. buttocks and hips.
Cause
It is important to stress that cellulite is a normal human variation. There is no specific cause or treatment (contrary to the all the advertisements). Being overweight doesn't cause cellulite – there are many slim people with cellulite, while many severely obese people show no signs of it.
The same rules apply for managing cellulite as many other self improvement strategies. These strategies will help to maintain your weight so that the cellulite won't be as noticeable:
a) Do not allow yourself to get dehydrated – be sure to drink enough fluids.
b) Avoid excessive consumption of coffee, alcohol, high fat foods
c) Make sure your diet includes enough fiber. (30 grams a day is a good target)
d) Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
e) Avoid smoking
f) Exercise regularly
g) Find effective ways of managing stress
There is no known cause of cellulite nor how to eliminate it. A healthy diet and toned muscles seem like reasonable approaches to keeping the body as taut and smooth as it can be. Like many other quick fixes, don't believe the hype – there is no proof that surgical procedures, dietary supplements, expensive creams or elaborate massage techniques work.
