Cellulite

Cellulite is a typically female imperfection (it affects about 90% of women), regardless of age and physical shape. It manifests itself with the appearance of the so-called "orange peel skin" especially on the hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen and knees.

What is cellulite?

Cellulite is a pathology that affects the adipose tissue, the microcirculatory system and the skin on the surface. In the subcutaneous tissue there is an imbalance of the adipose tissue: the fat cells "swell", press on the microcirculation, causing water retention and initial inflammation.

 

What are the causes of cellulite?

At the origin of cellulite, there are a series of causes:

• genetic – increased hormonal activity, capillary fragility, poor circulation;
• hormonal – excessive estrogen activity leading to water retention;
• vascular – slowing of blood circulation;
• stress – busy life, poor night sleep, etc.
• bad eating and behavioral habits – diet rich in fats and sugars, alcohol abuse.

What are the symptoms of cellulitis?

Cellulite presents itself with the so-called "orange peel skin", which can be more or less pronounced. In milder cases, skin dimples are barely visible. In the more serious ones, however, they take on considerable dimensions and are hard to the touch. Although cellulite is considered a beauty flaw, cellulite can become a real health problem. The exaggerated growth of the panniculus adipose, in fact, can compromise the lymphatic and venous circulation, cause edema, compress nerves with painful sensations.

 

 

The Treatments

How to fight cellulite? Prevention, nutrition and physical activity

The main causes of cellulite can be traced back to two main factors: water retention and poor circulation.

That's why if you want to prevent cellulite or put a stop to it, you need to adopt strategies that fight these two causes.

 

Correct lifestyle

The fight against cellulite passes above all through the modification of one's lifestyle. Incorrect diet, sedentary lifestyle, overweight are all factors that contribute to the onset of cellulite and which must be kept under control to prevent or treat it.

A lifestyle that helps prevent cellulite must therefore include:

• a healthy, regular and balanced diet, which provides for a correct intake of fruit and vegetables and the limitation of salt and all foods that can cause water retention;
• limit overweight, through a diet low in fats and sugars;
• practice constant and regular physical activity (not necessarily intense), which helps on the one hand to improve circulation and on the other to reduce the accumulation of fat and speed up the metabolism; drink plenty of water during the day, to help eliminate liquids;
• avoid the abuse of smoke, alcohol, coffee which increase water retention and worsen circulation;
• avoid clothing that is too tight which can restrict circulation, as well as maintaining incorrect positions such as crossed legs for too long.
