Cellulite, the dreaded orange peel skin, affects more women than men. It affects 90% of women of all sizes, races, weights, shapes or levels of physical activity.
The ugly, dimply orange peel skin doesn’t come in one size or shape or appear in one particular place on the body. The young, the old, the fat, the slim, the gym-sculpted and the couch potato are not spared from this dreadful condition.
Cellulite is far more common among women than men because of hormonal differences that play a major role in its formation. This is why men can sleep without worrying that cellulite will conquer their thighs and bottom.
While there is this popular opinion that cellulite is related to being overweight, it’s not. Skinny women can also suffer from cellulite.
Opinions vary when it comes to the exact causes of cellulite but most agree that something happens in the tissues to slow down and handicap the ordinary processes of lymph and blood circulation in the capillaries of the subcutaneous tissue.
In simple words, cellulite is a collection of fat, liquids and toxins accumulated in the cells placed in the subcutaneous layer of the skin because the body failed to eliminate them.
You are the perfect candidate for developing cellulite if you are leading a sedentary lifestyle, practicing poor dietary habits, drinking at least 3 cups of coffee daily and lacking in exercise.
Cellulite is not harmful to the body. However, it can have a negative effect on your confidence causing a deep need for you to find a safe way to get rid of cellulite before the emotional damage takes its toll.
The chance of totally eliminating cellulite on your body is rare but you can still lessen and control the appearance of cellulite.
