If
you think Cellulite only comes with age? Think Again! Plenty of
relatively young Hollywood Stars are already showing unglamorous cottage
cheese skin. Stars like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Victoria
Beckham, Tori Spelling, Cameron Diaz, Beyonce, Nicloe Richie, and Mariah
Carey, just to name a few. The worst part is that almost all women will get
cellulite at some point in their lives. The biggest problem areas are the
thighs, buttocks, tummies and backs of the arms.
There are different
levels of cellulite. Some of it is revealed only when the skin is pulled
tight, while some cellulite is obvious and unsightly all the time. But there
are ways to reduce cellulite and in come cases eliminate cellulite all
together. Please read on!
Cellulite is
the body fat layer, just under the skin, which causes a dimpled,
cottage-cheese appearance of the overlying skin. It is not a disease, but a
common condition appearing in over 90% of women after puberty, predominantly
affecting areas of the hips, thighs, buttocks, tummies and backs of the
arms. Cellulite is the body's emergency store of body fat, but it's ugly,
unsightly and unwanted in today's “I want to look good” society.
We see cellulite
in men as well, but less often, and it may occur in the areas of the love
handles and over the breast area, especially in obese men. The dimpled
appearance of cellulite is caused by a honeycomb network of supportive
fibers under the skin, where fat accumulates and causes bulging of these fat
compartments. The bulging becomes so bad that normal, healthy blood supply
to this cellulite area is reduced, creating a "fat trap" which is invisible
to the needs of the body. When the body needs energy it looks for stores of
fat and glycogen to burn, but these "fat trap" areas of cellulite are
unavailable due to poor circulation in the honeycomb fibers.
Cellulite is
survival fat. But it will only be used as an energy source by the body in
cases of severe starvation!
Cellulite was
useful in primitive times of frequent famine, but in modern times cellulite
is seldom needed and looks bad in shorts, swimwear and other modern stylish
clothes. It is safe to say that most, if not all people do not want
cellulite on their bodies and want to get rid of it.
Diet, Exercise
and Weight Loss are three of the most common methods used to help get
rid of cellulite. Because a large portion of the body consists of water,
hydration by consuming plenty of water is important because this will help
with more efficient fat metabolism.
Since Cellulite
is body fat in places modern society considers unsightly to look at...
Consider this four step plan to get rid of or at least reduce cellulite!
(1) Reduce Body Fat
and Cellulite with a proven Fat Burner like
TRIBALEAN Rx 357. Using a potent fat burner, diet pill, will enable
the body metabolize the cellulite fat cells from within.
(2) Increase the
circulation in the cellulite areas of the body by deep massaging the area
using a good cellulite cream like
Cell
Firming Skin Cream. You may need help massaging the
difficult area's so don't hesitate to have a close friend or spouse to help
when you can. Massaging will increase circulation in the cellulite area

help break up the fat cells so they are more easily metabolized by the body.
(3) Take a close
look at your diet. Try and cut back on bad carbohydrate foods and foods
that are loaded with fat like potato chips and French fries. Drink a lot of
liquids and limit your intake of alcoholic beverages. This will also make a
big difference in keeping the cellulite off after it has been reduced or
greatly eliminated.
(4) Decide on an
exercise program that will get you up and doing some kind of exercise at
least five days a week. The easiest exercise that's effective is walking
briskly while swinging your arms. Swimming, jogging, dancing, biking and
light aerobics, are other alternatives as are shopping, hiking, and working
up a good sweat doing needed housework. Start with One to Two days a week
and work up to five days with at least 20 to 30 minutes in duration each
day.
Cellulite Facts,
Questions and Answers…
What is cellulite?
Cellulite is a
disturbance of the fatty tissue that lies just beneath the skin on the lower
part of the body. We all have a layer of fatty tissue underneath the skin
that cushions us from knocks and bumps, keeps us warm and provides females
with the softness and roundness associated with femininity.
A good supply of nutrients and oxygen in the blood supply keeps the fatty
tissue well nourished, and a good drainage system by the veins and the lymph
vessels constantly removes waste products. Normal fatty tissue is smooth,
well-nourished and free from toxins and excess fluid.
Certain factors can influence the blood supply to and drainage from the
fatty tissues, starving them of oxygen and nutrients and allowing the
build-up of toxins and fluid. What develops is cellulite areas of fatty
tissue interspersed with tethering fibers and thick fluid, familiar to most
of us as the lumpy, bumpy areas on the legs, thighs tummies and buttocks.
Two Main Reasons
Women Develop Cellulite:
(1) Women tend to store fat on their lower halves of their body’s such as
the hips, thighs, buttocks and backs of the arms.
(2) Women are more prone to poor circulation and fluid retention.
Both of these are hormone-dependent features and this explains why cellulite
is frequently associated with puberty, pregnancy and the oral contraceptive
pill.
Although men can and do suffer poor circulation and fluid retention, in
general they don’t have fat legs, so are not predisposed to cellulite unless
they are fat to begin with. As cellulite develops in fatty tissue, the more
fatty tissue we have, the more cellulite we may develop.
What Causes
Cellulite:
(A) Weight gain due to complex
factors and metabolic functions:
1. Chronic Overeating
2. Too Little Exercise
3. Under-Active Thyroid Hormone
4. Allergy / Intolerance to Common Foods
(B) Weight gains on the lower half
of the body because of poor circulation:
Poor circulation seems to be more common in women then in men. Cold hands
and cold feet are the most frequent symptoms. The causes are…
1. Excess Smoking
2. An Inherited Problem
3. Stress and or Anxiety
4. Excess Caffeine
(C) Poor
Drainage from the veins and lymph system:
The most common causes of poor drainage either by the veins or the lymph
vessels, causes what we know as fluid retention. Swollen feet and swollen
ankles especially in the heat and after standing are the most common
symptoms of fluid retention. Some of the causes of poor drainage either by
the veins or the lymph system are…
1. Broken, Weak, Varicose Veins
2. Inherited Weakness of the Veins
3. Poor Lymph System Drainage or Disease to the Delicate Lymph Vessels
4. Poor Lymph System Inherited Weakness
5. Stress / Anxiety
Treatment of
Cellulite?
Because cellulite develops as the end results of many factors, then each and
every one of these must be treated.
1. Weight problems
2. Poor circulation
3. Poor drainage by the veins and or the lymph system.

capillaries.

results too soon. Allow at least 4 to 6 weeks of weight loss diet
supplements, cellulite cream and exercise and then check your cellulite. You

Little Known Facts…
Cellulite is a term
coined by European health spas to describe unsightly body fat deposits just
below the skin. You can see cellulite in the form of unattractive bulges,
wrinkles, and creases. They can be found on thighs, buttocks, upper arms,
shoulders, throat, the face, etc.
Cells just below the skin have the capacity to store huge amounts of fat. In
fact, about half of your body's total fat is deposited in these cells. Our
ancient ancestors needed this fat to keep them from freezing in cold weather
- long before today's thermal clothing and indoor heating. When these fat
cells increase in size, the individual cell compartments bulge and cause a
waffled, orange rind, cottage cheese appearance to your skin.
Cellulite defies
and strongly resists ordinary waste removal efforts. One of the reasons
that cellulite is hard to remove is because there is very poor circulation
in this part of the body. When it comes to inner cleansing, this is one of
the last locations to release its trash. Most other body fat cells will
reduce in size long before cellulite disappears.

recommendations in this article will help you reduce and in some cases
nearly completely eliminate the Dreaded Cellulite Curse.
