Causes of cellulite
Cellulite appears as a result of structural changes that occur in the subcutaneous layer. There is a network of connective tissue that looks like a honeycomb. As the fat cells increase in size and accumulate under the skin and create small bulges, the connective tissue also increases in size. As a result, the skin becomes uneven, as if covered with tubercles. This is cellulite, which, depending on the degree of manifestation, is conventionally divided into several stages.
Interesting fact: from a medical point of view, cellulite areas do not pose a threat to health and do not need correction. The desire to get rid of the “orange peel” comes to women solely for aesthetic reasons. Many consider this a significant drawback and direct all their efforts to fight the hated cellulite.
Where does it come from?
The skin becomes covered with an unsightly crust due to excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat. Among the common reasons for its occurrence are the following:
- poor nutrition;
- influence of female hormones;
- inactive lifestyle;
- insufficient water consumption.
But in first place in terms of “popularity” is, of course, psychosomatics. Unfulfilled desires, internal fears, low self-esteem - all this is the psychosomatics of the “orange peel” and many other diseases. Pharmacy products or physiotherapeutic procedures will not help you here. But it is our specialists who teach patients to realize their own importance and accept themselves as a unique, inimitable person. You will be able to look at yourself and the world around you with a new perspective. And then, believe me, he himself will begin to shape the desired reality for you. In which there will be no place for any “orange peels” on your body.
Risk factors
Cellulite is much more common in women than in men. In most cases, many girls face this problem already in puberty due to changes in hormonal levels. As you age, when your skin loses its elasticity, the question of how to get rid of cellulite also often arises. The thing is that the amount of collagen decreases due to age-related changes. Excess weight, lack of physical activity, genetic characteristics, circulatory disorders, dehydration are also risk factors that can lead to the formation of cellulite. Improper diet, which disrupts the metabolic process, can be considered one of the most common causes of cellulite. Abuse of diets or simply eating foods that are not healthy foods provokes various intestinal problems, which also leads to cellulite. Accumulated toxins contribute to this.
Rules for eating food
Eating the right foods is of great importance, but it is equally important to know how to eat them correctly so that the digestive system does not malfunction, and so that all this does not affect the body in the form of cellulite.
The very first rule here is a balanced diet, that is, the body must receive a sufficient amount of nutrients and vitamins to ensure its normal functioning. It is necessary to eat in a calm environment, without being distracted by small things and chewing food thoroughly.
A split-meal regimen is very useful, meaning at least five meals a day. Portions should be small. Such measures greatly facilitate the work of the stomach and improve the absorption of substances necessary for the body.
