Cellulite

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite primarily affects women. The elastic connective tissue in women is naturally softer and looser than in men. Physical changes in women, such as during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, demand a lot from the elasticity of the tissue. Under the influence of hormones (estrogen), a unilateral diet, and lack of movement, more fat deposits in the cells of the subcutaneous layer. These cells can become up to ten times their size and then push the weak connective tissue to the skin surface. This creates bumps and dimples on the skin surface, known as orange peel skin. Moreover, the filled fat cells press on the fine vascular systems of the blood and lymphatic system. Hindered blood circulation reduces oxygen supply and the removal of cell fluids and waste products.

A central role in this entire process is played by the female hormone estrogen. A higher estrogen level leads to greater storage of fluid in the body, which intensifies the tendency towards cellulite. The estrogen level particularly rises during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. This is also the case during menstruation and due to pill use.

The emergence and further development of cellulite is a complex process. Besides genetic predisposition and personal constitution, there are numerous influenceable factors; and thus, also possibilities for improvement. With natural body care, healthy nutrition, and exercise, you actively work towards a beautiful and healthy body.
