A theory

One theory on the cause of cellulite is thought to be the weakening of the blood and lymph drainage vessels that maintain a fresh supply of nutrients to tissues and remove waste by-products in the circulatory system. Free radicals form within body cells and the body utilizes them to destroy unwanted bacteria and viruses. This activity can create a weakening of bodily cells, damaging the DNA cells and connective tissues which can interrupt the body's circulatory system and impact negatively on the connective tissues that shape fat.Lack of exercise, estrogen imbalance and poor lymphatic drainage are other factors thought to contributing to cellulite. The circulatory system requires a fresh supply of blood to stimulate the connective tissues. The lymphatic system is dependent on movement to keep the lymph flowing and if poor drainage exists, possibly due to toxin build up or estrogen imbalance, the skin can become bloated with excess fluid. This build up can restrict the blood from revitalizing the connective tissues as well as damaging the free radicals. The result is a less than efficient bodily absorption of the fat stored under the cells.
