What Is Cellulite?
Cellulite is that substance that is lurking on your thighs and
on your rear. It is the substance that drives you mad trying to
hide it. But, what is it really and is there a possibility that
you can get rid of it? Cellulite has been described as having
the texture of an orange peel. It is dimples that form on the
skin. This is caused by the protrusion of subcutaneous fat into
the dermis of the skin.
The fact: up to 98% of post pubertal females have to deal with
cellulite of some form or another. Caucasian women will
experience it the most between races. And, because mostly women
get it (it is rare for a man to experience it) it is thought to
be caused by hormones. On a good note, though, cellulite is not
necessarily a condition of being overweight but is found on
people of all shapes and weights. There are no health risks from
cellulite itself.
For those men that suffer from this condition, it is often due
to the males being androgen deficient. Individuals that suffer
from Klinefelter's syndrome, post castration, and hyprogonadism
are likely to experience cellulite. Men who have to receive
estrogen to help with prostate cancer may also have the
condition affecting them.
Treatments For It...Are They Out There?
Try as you might, for most people, cellulite is not something
that will go away without a lot of work. But, there is help
available. In the cosmetic world, there are some solutions that
can help you. For example, liposuction is said to help to a
certain degree. And, there are those that offer other treatments
to hide the dimples as well.
The most beneficial way to get rid of cellulite, like it or not,
is through eating a balanced diet including plenty of water as
well as getting the exercise that to keep muscles lean. A
balanced diet will consist of good sources for vitamins and
minerals that come from vegetables and fruits.
Although cellulite, also known as orange peel syndrome, hail
damage and mattress phenomenon is not something that effects you
health wise, it can do damage to your self esteem if extreme and
definitely isn't something you'll brag about. But, rest assured
that through a good regimen of diet and exercise, you can,
hopefully, see some results.
