The
term cellulite is used to describe a cosmetic
defect that is cause for great distress
among millions of women all over the world.
Cellulite consists of pockets of fat deposits
characterized by a dimply, ‘orange
peel’ appearance. Its enlarged fat
cells cause the connective tissue to become
weak, compressed and hardened. Regular diet
and exercise programs are often not enough
to dislodge these stubborn pockets.
There are many reasons cellulite starts
to form: genetics, birth control pills,
pregnancy, excessive intake of dairy products,
poor digestion or circulation, constipation,
fatigue, slow metabolism, or prolonged stress
or anxiety.
Cellulite is usually accompanied by fluid
retention, swelling, fatigue and poor circulation.
Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is
not directly related to obesity; even slender,
athletic women can suffer from cellulite.
