Cellulite Causes and Remedies

by El Bilson

A cause of emotional stress is often cellulite. This is
especially true in women since women are much more likely to
get cellulite than men. Cellulite is basically accumulated
fat under certain spots of the body, such as the thighs, the
hips, and the belly. Needless to say, such problems are
difficult to hide with clothing, and can be a source of
embarrassment.

Cellulite is caused by many things including:

#1 " Heredity. Cellulite is one of those things that gets
passed down from generation to generation. You are more
likely to get cellulite if your parents and grandparents
also suffered from it. It's an unfortunate skin problem
that many people deal with on a daily basis.

Did your mother or grandmother successfully got rid of their
cellulite problem? If so, then don't hesitate to ask them
how they did it. It's likely that what worked for them will
work for you " after all, some things might work better for
some people than others!

#2 " Medication. Some forms of medication can trigger
hormonal changes in the body. These changes can accelerate
the accumulation of fat in the body. Such medications
include birth control pills, diet pills, and sleeping pills.
It's always a good idea to check with your doctor before
taking any of these medications, especially if your family
has a history of cellulite.

#3 " Smoking. Cellulite is a condition that's affected not
only by the buildup of fat under the skin, but also by the
condition of the skin itself. Smoking doesn't only cause
various health problems such as lung cancer and heart
disease " it also weakens the skin and thus making cellulite
look even worse. Getting rid of your cellulite may be the
motivation you need to stop smoking!

#4 " Bad eating habits. Eating too much junk and fast food
as well as drinking too much caffeine and alcohol is one of
the most prominent causes of cellulite. It's not unusual to
see kids as young as 14 with cellulite these days, mainly
because good eating habits aren't taught well enough at home
and school. Unfortunately, there are other problems caused
by bad eating habits " these include things such as obesity,
migraines, vertigo, impotence, and hypertension.

The best diet to counter cellulite contains much less junk
food including fried food, fast food, processed food " and
more of the good stuff. Green leafy vegetables and fresh
fruits are always good. But you don't have to swear off the
bad stuff altogether " you can still have them every now and
then. Just remember to balance it with good food and
exercise every week.

#5 " Bad drinking habits. Believe it or not, the amount of
water you drink in a single day can also affect cellulite.
Water is needed by the body to flush toxins out of the body
regularly. Some toxins are the leading triggers of
cellulite. If you don't drink enough water in a day, too
many toxins will be left in the body, and cellulite buildup
will be inevitable.

Make sure you drink at least eight glasses of water everyday
to keep your skin hydrated. Water will also keep your skin
from drying, improving the overall appearance of even your
fatty bulges. Fruit juice is also okay, but be careful "
some brands of fruit juice have the same amount (sometimes
even more) of calories as soda. Fruit juice is also loaded
with sugar which can lead to excess fat build up on your
body.

Now that you know about the most common cellulite causes and
how to address them, the next thing you need to remember is
to start slow. Healthy habits can be hard to stick to, but
practice makes perfect! Eventually you will see healthier
skin!
