Fight cellulite using diet

Often called “orange peel,” it targets mainly women whether they are thin or fat. It is possible to treat it or stop its formation.

It is most often found on the buttocks, thighs, and sometimes on the arms or stomach. Cellulite especially affects women above 35 years and progressively worsens and gives physical and psychological problems.

Characterized by an aspect of “orange peel," visible to the naked eye, cellulite is not a disease, but an aesthetic disgrace. This is a collection of fat under the skin, trapped in tissues soaked with salt, water and hormones. It is resistant to dieting and never disappears spontaneously.

How to recognize cellulite The first indication is its location. Cellulites most often invade the external surface of the thighs and the inner surface of the knees.

The two signs to suggest its existence are: - The appearance of “orange peel”

- Rice grains signs: by pressing cellulite, we observe the appearance of granules having a consistency similar to that of rice grains.

Cellulite is painful: we you press cellulite between two fingers it is painful but fat is painless.

Manifestations of cellulite Cellulite invades parts of the female body in a few weeks or months. This invasion is done in several steps.

The first disorder is observed at the level of circulation: small veins become permeable and allow water from the blood invade tissues which swell and become sensitive. At this level, everything can still be arranged, formed edema may disappear.

Among women with rich female hormones (follicle), a network of connective fibers will appear in this edema (water retention), trap fat, water and salt content in tissues and transform them into cellulite.

The shape of the most known and the most common is the high cellulite or flabby thighs. It is a bump on the outer surface of the thigh, or encompasses the entire thigh.

It is accompanied by a series of problems: - The abdominal belt loosens and pushes the belly forward

- The buttock muscles collapse and tissues soften aggravating the flabby thighs..

- The menstrual period is accompanied by swelling and mild depressive tendency. She suffers from constipation; circulatory disorders and develop cold feet.

When can cellulite appear?

Cellulite appears in women in specific circumstances: - Puberty, the period when the girl becomes a woman. Cellulite may appear with emerging overweight which sometimes characterizes this period. It should therefore be monitored and treated if she becomes deeply inharmonious.

- Taking of pills: it has many advantages, but plays a role in almost constant appearance of female cellulite. Cellulite develops in silence for months or even many years. It establishes itself and does not go back any longer. This cellulite is related to the nature of the hormonal pill and disruption of circulation in the lower limbs.

- Pregnancy, especially artificially supported by huge amounts of hormones, pregnancy is responsible for a significant weight gain that almost always settles in females parts that favour the appearance of cellulite.

- The pre-menopause is the last great opportunity for cellulite to appear or to worsen with the influence of female follicle hormone. Pre-menopausal cellulite settles and invades the pelvis and thighs of women.

Causes of Cellulite There are two main causes:

- The hyper-follicle which is characterized by four signs.

- Exaggerated signs of menses (High congestion from belly to breasts).

- There is emphasis on female sexual characteristics (the pelvis develops, breasts reinforce, the voice matures and cellulite make the lower parts of the body to be rounded).

- Menstrual disorders become very frequent: irregularity, delays can even simulate early pregnancy.

- The trend similar to cysts: excess follicle is often the cause of a budding cysts in female areas; breast cyst, ovarian cyst.

- Mental disorder. All emotional and mental disturbances have an absolute role in the formation of cellulite. Constipation, poor liver function, impaired digestion and the metabolism of water and salt play a role in the aggravation of existing cellulite.
