Cellulite Treatments for a Perfect Body
February 18, 2009 by Franca Bellucia
Women suffer from cellulite more than men with over 90 percent of females having cellulite at some point in their lives. This is because of the higher fat content that women have when compared to men. Often people believe that cellulite is caused by being overweight but this is not necessarily the case with many thin women suffering from the condition.
The media often makes many women feel that are abnormal if they have cellulite. But this if far from the case. Many famous celebrities and models suffer from cellulite except it is well covered by makeup and special affects.
The cause of cellulite is found right below the layer of skin. Here, there is thin pockets of fat which are contained in honeycomb like structures. If this fat begin the bulge from this honeycomb then cellulite starts and dimpling appears on the upper side of the skin.
Most often cellulite is found in the buttocks, hips and thighs but can occur in other areas. The condition is often due to the genes that you inherit from your parents. This is why even skinny people can suffer from it. If you have thin skin for example, the cellulite will be more noticeable.
Genes are not the only cause, however. Other risk factors can include being overweight, alcohol, caffeine, medication like the contraceptive pill, a lack of exercise, a slow metabolism and not enough water. This a short list of the most common risk factors but if you have cellulite you should take a look to see if any of these maybe a contributing cause.
Age is another major risk factor. As a woman gets older the skin begins to lose its strength and elasticity, and the structure that keeps the fat underneath the skin in place starts to lose its ability to secure the fat.
The first step in fighting back against cellulite is to change your life. Drink plenty of water, exercise and consume more fruit and vegetables. Eliminate the bad foods such as coffee, chocolate and those high in fats.
Make sure when developing your exercise program that you balance your cardio with weight bearing exercises. Don't worry about getting bulky. Women are unable develop large muscle. Instead concentrating on doing a well round routine that will increase your calorie count.
If you like you can try other treatments like creams and lotions, massage or laser therapy. There is a wealth of information available on these different cellulite treatments and with a little bit of research you will find out which treatment is best for you.
