What can be done about cellulite?

Before you can understand what can be done about cellulite, you need to understand what cellulite is.

Immediately below the skin, are three layers of fat. The first layer (subcutaneous fat) is where cellulite occurs. The remaining two lower layersstore fat reserves.

The surface skin is connected to the muscle tissue by a network of fibrous cords (called fibrous septae). They attach to the underside of the skin, run down through the three layers of fat, and attach themselves to the muscle beneath. They hold the layers of fat in place.

When we eat too many calories, new fat cells begin pushing up against the skin, causing the fibrous septae to pull the skin back down. This causes the surface skin to dimple, creating that “cottage cheese” or “orange peeling” texture of unsightly lumps and bumps that we call cellulite. This is the medically proven cause of cellulite, plain and simple. So what can be done about cellulite?

Typically women have a higher percentage of body fat than men, and a different makeup of weaker fibrous septae. That is why more women have lumpy thighs and buttocks than men. So let’s revisit our question: what can be done about cellulite?

Which one of the creams, body wraps, herbs, lotions, massage techniques or any of the other “cellulite products” on the market are really telling you the truth about what can be done about cellulite? Since none of them treat the fibrous septae below the surface of the skin, they reduce your money but not the cellulite!

So what can be done about cellulite? Reduce excess body fat build-up. If there is less fat for the fibrous septae to keep in place, they will not have to pull down so hard and dimple your skin. That’s what can be done about cellulite; reduce body fat.

The two best ways to reduce body fat continue to be 1) maintaining a healthy diet and 2) maintaining an exercise routine. Remember: less body fat means less cellulite.

Any exercise (such as jumping rope, running, jogging, walking (the easiest), swimming, etc.) that increases your heart rate and oxygen intake for a sustained period of at least 20-30 minutes will start burning fat. That’s what can be done about cellulite.
