What is the deal with cellulite? Why do some girls have dimply looking skin despite being other wise healthy and slim?
There is such a thing as being "skinny-fat". Meaning that while you may not be "over-weight" you may have excess fat storage under your skin and around your organs. Everyone needs to be active on a regular basis to maintain a healthy, toned, body and smooth skin appearance. (Not to mention, keep your internal organs healthy as well)
To find out the truth about why cellullite appears and how we can make it disappear read these facts:
1) Cellulite is a condition where little pockets of fat are protruding towards the skins surface creating a dimply appearance.
2) Conditions that exacerbate the appearance of cellulite are: excess body fat, smoking (which thins the skin), and atrophy of muscles (too much sedentary time).
3)Hormones effect it. Cellulite doesn't exist in Males, except for those with higher than normal levels of estrogen, "the female hormone", (we all have several types of hormones but males tend to have more testosterone, and females more estrogen). Balancing your hormones can help allieviate the symptoms. This means diet and activity modification.
4)Foods and activities both induce hormone responses. By eating less estrogen activating foods, and doing more testosterone enhancing exercise you can bring your hormones back to balance.
5) Cellulite can be improved(or maybe even eliminated)! you're not stuck with it. By improving diet and exercise habits many individuals have been able to reduce or completely eliminate the appearance of cellulite.
