Cellulite Treatment. Beat Cellulite in 6 weeks!

Cellulite can feel strange to the touch. Some women say it is hard, cold and actually quite painful when it’s pressed or massaged. Others report it as spongy and doughy. Many women have patches of both types of cellulite. However, looks aren't everything and what truly determines the nature of cellulite is not what you see on the surface of the skin, but what is happening underneath. And until recently, nobody really knew what cellulite was.

Despite the fact that there had been references in scientific literature for 150 years about this strange dimply fat that affected women's hips and thighs, until about 1998 nobody had ever studied it properly. The popular theory was that cellulite was caused by toxins from alcohol, caffeine, nicotine and red meat, and that these toxins,unable to be processed by the body, were pushed into the fat stores.

As these stores got fuller and fuller, the toxins began to bulge out against the skin, creating doming and dimpling. There is a scientific basis for this theory as the body does push toxins that it can't handle in tothe fat stores. However, it is not the little toxins like caffeine or red meat that it processes in this way, it is big toxins such as heavy metals found in air pollution or pesticides on foods.

This was why those working in the medical profession didn't really believe the toxin theory after all, if caffeine, alcohol and smoking were the cause of cellulite, why didn't more men get it? They are just as likely as women to drink coffee, smoke or drink alcohol niqht after night. The answer was revealed in June 1998.

A team from New York's Rockefeller University looked in detail at cellulite for the first time- and what they found changed everything. When they analysed samples of tissue affected by cellulite they didn't find traces of caffeine, red meat ornicotine. Similarly, they didn't find abnormally high traces of heavy metals or pesticides.

Instead they found normal fat, the same as appears on your tummy and on other bits of your hips and thighs. However, what was different about this fat was the way it was held in place within the skin.
