Societys obsession with cellulite is insidious and
ridiculous. Pick up any womans magazine and you are
guaranteed to find and advertisement or article outlining
the horrors of cellulite and what you should do to rid your
body of this blight. What is cellulite anyway?
Cellulite has been defined as the dimpled or uneven
deposit of fat as seen around the thighs and buttocks.
This fat accumulates near the surface of the skin and
pushes against the skin tissues. This gives it the
dimpled appearance like an orange peel. Thus, adopting
the name peau d orang in French.
People (male and female) of all ages can have cellulite.
Somehow what is seen as adorable on babies is horrifying on
adults. Tabloid magazines in the grocery store show
close-up photos of actresses and their shockingly normal
bodies.
There are numerous 'quick fix' solutions available to fix
this ugly affliction. The markets are inundated with
creams, lotions, and potions that can get rid of the
dimpled devil from our legs and thighs. However, our
focus is totally skewed as we do not identify the real
solution. What can be worked away with simple exercises
such as biking or walking is combated with creams and
lotions. Not only exercises get rid of cellulite, they
also tone your legs. Thus, the cause of cellulite is a
sedentary lifestyle and cellulite can be got rid of by a
regular exercise regime. While a body does not remain
fit and toned for life, but keeping oneself healthy is a
choice that can be easily exercised. Cellulite is to
addressed as a normal characteristic of the body and not
a disease that has to be got rid of.
Simply walking every day will do more for your self-
confidence and overall feeling of health than any quackery
cream or lotion or electric muscle stimulator. If you read
about cellulite in medical research, it is simply fatty
tissue that is not unhealthy itself (unless you have too
much body fat overall) and no different from ordinary fat.
Any supplement, topical product, device, or spa treatment
that claims to reduce cellulite should be approached with
caution for safety reasons and because they simply are not
effective. Your best bet is to get regular sometimes
strenuous, exercise and eat a diet that wont add on extra
fat. Also, remember that each bodys pattern of fat
distribution is inherited, so everyones problem areas
are different.
Some tips to combat cellulite as offered by the U.S.
National Library of Medicine are:
A healthy diet with fruits vegetables and fiber
Plenty of fluids
