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.
