We all got used to a thought that cellulite is a best friend of fat and overweight people. But it’s rather a stereotype than a fact. The truth is that it doesn’t actually depend on your weight and size. Often we can see a curvy woman with smooth hips and butt, and slim girls, even celebrities, who have rather problem surface on those places. But how come women who really take care of themselves and work hard to stay fit also face that unpleasant thing?
Firstly, we must figure out what cellulite actually is. It is the stagnation process in lipid issues. The metabolism is misbalanced, and the harmful products begin to accumulate under the skin. The liquid lingers in spaces between cells, causing the skin edema, collagen grains get hard and lipid cells begin to form into bundles – all these processes make skin look puffy and uneven. And it can happen to a person of any body type, because it actually has no connection with weight and shape.
The reasons of such wrong metabolism are very individual, but there are some factors of risk, that influence this process a lot and increase chances of having this problem. These are:
- Hormonal imbalance, actually a low level of those hormones that are responsible for regulating liquid exchange and female sex hormones.
- Bad food habits – low level of vitamins in food, a lot of fried, salty and spicy food that innervates your intestine.
- Wrong way of life – lack of physical activity, no sports. If muscles aren’t trained and weak, they are more likely to gain cellulite over themselves.
- Smoking and drinking alcohol as a habit – the main reason of appearing of cellulite on skinny bodies. Nicotine makes capillaries narrow and it causes skin edema.
- Genetic – if your mother has cellulite, you are in the group of risk.
How to cope with that disaster? First of all, to find the reason, being honest to yourself and to lead a healthy way of life, add physical exercises and eat healthy food. Modern cosmetic industry provides a lot of measures against cellulite which can be combined with sports and right food and you will definitely gain better result working on all fronts. You can use special creams or turn to some SPA-salon for procedure, which are provided in wide variety there, but remember – without correction of your way of life the effect from any cream or massage won’t last long.
