Young Cellulite

It's weird how even young girls have cellulite these days! (or at least I think this is something new, maybe since ancient times some young girls have had cellulite and I just hadn't realized it!) I write this because I have a young sister who is 17 years old. She is a little chubby and I recently noticed that she has a lot of cellulite on her tush! That was a new and not pretty sight! I am now going to see if I can find more information on cellulite in younger people to post here later on.

While thin people still have cellulite, certain foods can exacerbate it, such as unnatural substances like artificial sweeteners. Diets full of natural, high fiber foods and lots of water can help lessen the appearance of cellulite.

Cellulite Myth

There are lots of things that can be blamed for cellulite but drinking soda is not one of them. It was once thought that the sodium in soda was the culpret causing the fat cells to swell. That supposedly became the dimpling that we are familiar with. Others thought that it was the carbonation... you know those little bubbles. No, they did not mysteriously get under the skin. What you can blame it on is your genes or even a desk job. What you can do about it, is to massage the area but this will not totally rid you of this problem. It can help but that's it.

Things that cause Cellulite

Heredity

Insufficient water intake. Water helps the waste system operate, flushing toxins from your body. Drink 7 glasses of water a day.
Diet.

Poor eating habits including alcohol, caffeine and spicy foods contribute to the formation of cellulite because the toxins they produce get trapped in the fatty tissue.
Smoking, it is not only bad for the skin and lungs, but it weakens the skin by causing constriction of capillaries. It further damages the connective tissue that causes the dimpling effect of cellulite, too.

Tension and stress can cause a muscle to seize up in pain; they can also cause the connective tissue that covers that muscle to seize up. Tension also blocks the tissue, preventing proper waste elimination and purification. ·
Medication can disturb the body's natural processes, disturbing the purification system that is naturally in place. Diet pills, sleeping pills and diuretics can all lead to cellulite; oral contraceptives, which increase the body's oestrogen, cause fat cells to enlarge, leading to water retention. Retaining water inhibits the body from flushing the system of toxins, leading to the formation of cellulite.

Lack of exercise and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the formation of cellulite. Exercise decreases many health risks and also helps fight cellulite.

It improves muscle tone, circulation and overall well-being, helping to break blocked tissue and purify the body.
Crash diets increase the risk of cellulite because the body thinks it's starving and by attempting to compensate, it assists in cellulite formation. All saturated fats help build cellulite. These fats block the arteries and get trapped in the tissue as well, preventing sufficient waste and toxin elimination.
