Some Natural Remedies For Cellulite

Cellulite is not a serious health problem, but it can lead to certain disorders. Find out how to fight cellulite.

Cellulite is basically a cosmetic problem that can cause discomfort and affect self-esteem. That is why we invite you here to discover natural and home remedies against cellulite.

The skin covers the body to keep it at an appropriate temperature and to protect it from external attack.It is made up of three layers: the epidermis, the dermis and the hypodermis. Each of them has a specific function.

The last layer, the hypodermis, contains the cells specialized in storing fat, the adipocytes. These cells accumulate fat to regulate body temperature. When fat is not eliminated on a regular basis, resulting in weight gain, fat cells push the skin, forming small protuberances visible on the surface of the skin.

The following factors promote the formation of cellulite:

• circulation imbalances
• hormonal imbalances
• sedentary lifestyle
• hereditary factors

Fight against cellulite: the different types 

General cellulite

Cellulite is more common in women who are overweight and have unhealthy eating habits . It begins in childhood and becomes more pronounced in adulthood.

It causes cosmetic changes mainly in the hips, abdomen, thighs and legs.

Localized cellulite 

It is characterized by severe pain in a specific area of ​​the body. This is why it is more complicated to manage.

In the majority of cases, it manifests itself in the abdomen, back, buttocks and arms.

Fat cellulite

In the case of adipose cellulite, the skin has a gelatinous appearance visible to the naked eye: it is soft and flabby.

Fat cellulite is usually accompanied by fatigue and a feeling of weakness. It can cause other disorders to appear, such as insomnia or varicose veins.

Aqueous cellulite

Aqueous cellulite is linked to a strong retention of fluids. The skin shows symptoms characteristic of other types of cellulite. This type of cellulite can affect women of any age.

Fibrous cellulite

Fibrous cellulitis is hard and painful to the touch. It usually affects young women and sportswomen because their tissues are firm and toned.

Fibrous cellulite manifests itself gradually, and must be treated as soon as it appears. The more time passes and the more it evolves, which makes its elimination more complicated.

Be aware that a poor calorie- dense diet leads to overweight. Consequence of this: fat cells increase, thereby aggravating the process of cellulite formation.

To fight against cellulite, the first thing to do is to take into account the cause of its appearance, more than its symptoms.
