Cellulite represents unequal arrangement of fat tissue under the skin.
Cellulite doesn’t depend on the body weight. Both fat and slim people can have Cellulite. You don’t need to gain weight because it probably won’t help you.
Diet has been shown to affect the development and amount of cellulite. Excessive amounts of fat, carbohydrates, salt, alcohol or too little fiber can all contribute to increased cellulite.
Smoking, lack of exercise, tight clothes, high heeled shoes, and sitting or standing in a single position for long periods have all been correlated with an increase in cellulite. Physical activities are good for your health and might help you with the cellulite.
There are many methods for treating cellulite (physical, mechanical, pharmacological…).
You may want to consult a dermatologist or cosmetitian about cellulite treatment.
