Cellulite is a disaster or can we fight it? Cellulite Treatment

Cellulite has been called any given number of names, including cottage cheese, orange-peel skin, saddlebags, pruned legs, and even dimples. No matter the name,cellulite is unattractive and in some cases, unhealthy. Most women have some on their body somewhere and are unhappy about it, and would love to rid of it.
Cellulite is another one of those unpleasant facts of life we need to just learn to live with and accept. There have been surgical procedures developed to rid areas of your body riddled withcellulite but it is now thought that when you remove cellulite from one part of your body, it is likely to turn up on another part.
Let's delve into the facts behind cellulite. Cellulite occurs when body fat gets sandwiched into many tiny pockets separated by strong, hair thin threads called septa, which anchors skin to muscle. Mostwomen store fat in the hips, thighs and buttocks where this "tufting" becomes so pronounced that it dimples.
Men have it made when it comes to cellulite. Their septa attach in a crisscross formation instead of the vertical strands that are found in a woman's skin. Also, the thought that only heavy or obesewomen suffer from cellulite is not true. Women of any weight can have cellulite. There are even super-models that complain they have it.
While we are all aware cellulite is unattractive, it can also have adverse health effects. Accumulation of fluid can occur in the layers of the skin, it can cause impeded blood flow, toxin build-up, nutrient depletion and deterioration of the connective tissue as it loses elasticity and undergoes fibrosis, the development of an organ of excess fibrous connective tissue.
There are a couple ways we can help combat cellulite and its negative effects, but if you're genetically prone to it in a certain area, it is unlikely you will ever be totally rid of it. What you can do is reduce your overall fat intake to lessen thebuild-up of cellulite. Exercise can help build muscle tone, which in turn can make the contours of your body, including the cellulite, look better. Keep at it -- if nothing else, you can prevent it from becoming more pronounced and more importantly, from becoming a health risk.
Here is a recommended exercise to fight cellulite on the upper thigh area:
* Lie on your stomach with hipbones on the floor, legs extended. Rest chin on hands.
* Slowly lift left leg, foot flexed, about six to twelve inches, keeping hips glued to the floor.
* Move leg to the left 12 inches, hold for two counts and bring it back to center.
* Then shift leg 12 inches to the right (or as far as you can without lifting your hips), hold for two counts and return to center. Lower leg to ground and repeat. Do three sets of 15 reps on your left leg, than switch sides.
GOOD LUCK ladies :)

Six Weeks To Beat Your Cellulite!

It is also the minimum amount of time that people usually need to stop thinking of lifestyle changes something new and strange, and make them a habit that becomes natural part of their lives.
But what can you realistically achieve in six weeks? lf you follow the programmes as directed, most people will:
- Lose at least 2.8kg ( 6 lb) of excess weight (this will be less if you don’t have excess weight to lose).
Exactly how much difference this will make to your cellulite depends on how your cellulite scores on the severity scale. Obviously, someone suffering from severe cellulite is unlikely to have their cellulite disappear completely in six weeks, although you will notice a dramatic difference.
If at the end of six weeks you want to carry on with the solution, then do. If you have lost a lot od weight, however, check your BMI again. If you are at a healthy weight, it is not advisable to follow the portion sizes suggested on this blog.

The Skin problem. How cellulite affect the skin?

What is Cellulite? What cellulite is about?

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.
