Cellulites and their causes
Have you seen changes to your body lately? Have
you noticed that there are several bulges on several areas that
were not present before? As people age, there are several changes
that happens in the body. After the adolescent period of an
individual, changes can occur in his or her body. One of these
changes is the appearance of cellulites. Also, cellulites are more
visible in women as compared with men. These are usually found in
the areas of the body like the thigh, abdomen and buttocks.
Types of Cellulites
There are two types of cellulites. These are
the hard and soft cellulites. The hard type is usually found in
active female individuals like dancer and runners. This type of
cellulite is more difficult to see because it does not elevate
from the body. It adheres to the muscles directly. Another type is
the soft cellulites. The soft type is more visible because it
occupies larger parts of the body and at the same time, floats
from the muscle. This causes the muscles to have a sagging look.
Since it is loose in structure, it is easier to remove this type
of cellulite.
How to distinguish cellulites from normal fat
It is very easy to spot cellulite. These are
fats that show dimples or ripple-like structures. These are
similar to the skin of an orange fruit. It also looks whiter
compared with the other parts of the skin. You can differentiate
cellulites easier because you can pinch it easily and it feels
cold when being touched.
Causes of cellulites
There are several causes for the appearance of
cellulites. One of which is the hormonal change that happens to
the body of an individual. Whenever there are changes that happen
in the body, the imbalance causes changes in the blood circulation
and connective tissues, thereby causing the fats. Hormonal
imbalance happens during the puberty stage, pregnancy stage and
menopausal stage.
Another cause is aging. Cellulites usually
appear after the puberty stage and usually more visible at the
start of age 30. This is because when you age, the skin becomes
less elastic and at the same time, the skin is also starting to
thin out. This causes the fats to be more visible. One more cause
of cellulites is the lack of exercise. Since an individual doesn’t
get to be active. The calories are not burned forming fats that
are deposited in visible areas such as buttocks, arms and legs.
Aside from these, cellulites may also be caused
by tension, fatigue, vices like smoking and alcohol. There are
others who blame heredity or genetics to be the cause of
cellulites. It may also be a combination of any of these factors.
One’s lifestyle generally affects the appearance of the
cellulites in the body. The soft type is easier to remove since it
is the more common type. It is done by frequent exercise on the
areas where the cellulites appear. It can also be removed through
the different products offered in the market.
