What Is Cellulite?

CelluliteLet me share with you what cellulite is called in more technical and scientific terms before you get to know more about it. It is called gynoid lipodystrophy, dermopanniculosis and adiposis edematosa.

Among the technical and scientific terms, cellulite is the most common term that has been used to describe the dimpled appearance of the skin on your thighs, hips and buttocks.

Cellulite is a natural part of aging and is a problem for most women at some point in their lives. It is most often seen in women because of the hormonal differences that play a major role in its formation.

Many people think that cellulite is just a problem for those who are overweight. Wrong! Cellulite is predetermined by genetics so even thin women can develop the appearance.

Cellulite is formed when clumps of fat cells push up against surrounding connective tissue, giving you dimpled skin or the appearance of “orange peel” or “cottage cheese” and what appears to be clumps of fat under your skin. In simple words, cellulite is formed when there is a buildup of fats and toxins underneath the skin.

What causes the formation of cellulite? It is caused by numerous factors such as genetics, hormones, hypothyroidism, and a lack of exercise – pertaining to poor blood circulation and lymphatics.

Cellulite is not necessarily caused by overeating but more likely by not eating the right kinds of foods.

If cellulite is the bane of you who enjoys showing off your legs, hips, or buttocks, there are various methods that you can take to either reduce or get rid of cellulite.

However, there is no quick fix solution for cellulite reduction. The best and most inexpensive way to rid of cellulite is to watch what you eat and drink, and burn those calories by exercising on a regular basis.
