			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Natural and Inexpensive Home Treatments for Cellulite</p>
<p>&#8220;Cellulite&#8221; is a skin condition that gives the appearance of small bumps and ripples under the skin.  The bumps are caused by the underlying fat cells growing too large and stretching the natural fiber compartments that hold the skin to the underlying layers of tissues.</p>
<p>&#8220;Cellulite&#8221; is ordinary fat, but ordinary fat that affects the appearance of the skin. Strands of fibrous collagen tissue connect the skin to the subcutaneous layers and also separate compartments that contain fat cells. When fat cells increase in size, these compartments bulge and produce a rippled  appearance of the skin.</p>
<p>Women tend to have cellulite more often than men because they have a vertical pattern of collagen in the underlying layer that holds the fat cells, and when the fat cells become very large, they bulge out of the chambers and appear as cellulite.  In men, the pattern of collagen is tighter, in a diagonal pattern, and they have thicker skin, so there is less bulging of the individual fat cells.  Another factor in cellulite is high levels of estrogen, since this hormone has a direct effect on the holding capacity of fat cells through the increase of alpha-adrenoreceptors, the chemical doorways that tell your fat cells to hold on to their contents.  Poor diet, bad circulation, and poor lymphatic circulation can all contribute to the appearance of cellulite.</p>
<p>TREATING SKIN WITH CELLULITE</p>
<p>There are several extra steps you can take for the treatment of cellulite.  Consider your skin care regimen, and fine-tune it to meet the needs of skin that has a tendency to swell with fluids, store fat and have poor circulation.</p>
<p>Nutrition:  Although cellulite is a skin condition, it&#8217;s closely tied to the storage of excess fat. If you are significantly overweight, you should certainly alter your diet. The dietary enzyme bromelain can improve overall circulation to your skin and adipose tissues by removing the buildup of fibrin on the walls of blood vessels.  Treating cellulite requires a two-pronged approach &#8211; one being the shrinking of the fat cells themselves, the second being the regeneration of collagen and strengthening of the skin outside of the swollen fat cells.</p>
<p>Cleansing:  When cleaning your skin, use your wash cloth or loufah to massage the area where cellulite occurs.  At first, use a circular motion and then a brushing motion upwards towards the bowels.  This will improve circulation and edema, and help remove toxins and metabolic wastes out of the tissues and interstitial spaces around the collagen and fat cells.</p>
<p>Other Treatments:</p>
<p>· Dry Skin Brushing:  Learn to dry brush your skin at least twice every day &#8211; upon rising and before going to bed. Skin brushing provides many benefits in the treatment of cellulite. First of all, it&#8217;s &#8220;exercise&#8221; for you skin, and strengthens the underlying dermis and pattern of collagen in the subcutaneous layer. It stimulates the growth and repair of the tissues by increasing blood flow to the area.  It also helps remove toxins and metabolic wastes out of the interstitial fluids surrounding the tissues for disposal. Dry brushing is good for you skin all over, but if you are suffering from spider or varicose veins, brushing these areas vigorously several times every day, first in a circular motion and then upwards towards the colon, can improve the appearance of cellulite.</p>
<p>· Hormones:  Cellulite is often associated with the use of HRT and birth control pills.  High levels of estrogen from these medications can cause an increase in the fatty tissues ability to store fats and cause them to bulge, pushing out the skin and causing cellulite. If you are using birth control pills for contraception, you may want to ask your doctor for a lower-estrogen dose formula or a non-hormonal form, such as an IUD.  If you are on HRT, you may want to consider switching to a lower dose, adding progesterone cream, or using a weaker formula, such as an estrone cream.</p>
<p>· Habits: Get out of the habit of crossing your legs, knees and ankles.  This reduces circulation and increases swelling.  Try to keep moving regularly, neither sitting nor standing for long periods.</p>
<p>· Exercise:  Regular exercise is necessary for the improvement of cellulite.  Not only does it help reduce the appearance of cellulite by burning the fatty acids that are causing the cellulite.  It also improves circulation and helps to remove toxin-filled wastes away from the skin.  Take up a walking program, or sneaking in a set of exercises in the restroom during breaks.  Teresa Tapp&#8217;s &#8220;T-Tapp&#8221; program is renowned for short, effective exercise movements that reduce cellulite and increase overall blood and lymph circulation.  Rashelle Haines program &#8220;LifeLift&#8221; is also excellent for improving lymphatic circulation, burning excess fat and glucose and improving muscle and skin tone.</p>
<p>· Body Wraps:  Body wraps, both professional and homemade can improve the appearance of cellulite.  Body wraps use a combination of minerals and herbs that stimulate the fat cells to release their contents, they absorb toxins from the skin and reduce swelling.  Generally you will find stimulant herbs like kelp or algae that stimulate the fat burning process in the cells.  You will find cosmetic clays that will remove toxins and wastes from the pores, and horsetail and horse chestnut that reduce edema (swelling) and provide minerals for strengthening the skin.  These formulas are applied to the skin with the use of compression wraps.  For recipes for doing home wraps, go to the Botanical Beauty Lab website.</p>
<p>· Massage:  Massage, particularly the kind that improves lymph flow, is very good for reducing the appearance of cellulite.  It improves the removal of metabolic wastes and toxins from the interstitial tissues around the adipose tissues, and gives the skin a smoother appearance.  There are many professionals offering massage for cellulite, including lymphatic massage and endermology, but if that is out of your budget, you may want to try a home massage device.  Many are available, from a simple round-prong hand tool to a powered massager that provides heat, massage and suction similar to the professional endermology machines.</p>
<p>SUPPLEMENTS FOR CELLULITE REDUCTION</p>
<p>Alfalfa:  Alfalfa is a natural diuretic that helps balance the body&#8217;s interstitial fluids and reduces edema and swelling.  It&#8217;s also a phytoprogesterone, which helps balance the excess estrogen that can exacerbate cellulite.</p>
<p>Borage Oil:  Borage oil contains high amounts gamma linoleic acid, which is an important fatty acid to the strengthening of cell walls.</p>
<p>Bromelain:  Bromelain is a naturally occurring enzyme in natural foods that aid in the digestion of proteins.  The consumption of bromelain aids in the removal of fibrin buildup in fine blood vessels.  This improves and increases circulation to the skin, and aids in repair and rejuvenation.</p>
<p>Horsetail:  Horse Chestnut herb contains high levels of the mineral silica, which is used in the repair and maintenance of skin cells.</p>
<p>Cider Vinegar contains an array of important enzymes and aids in balancing body pH.  It&#8217;s also a good source of potassium, which is necessary for fluid balance in the body.</p>
<p>Coconut Oil contains medium chain triglycerides which are easily absorbed and used by the body for fuel.  It has the capability of stimulating the thyroid gland, which increases body temperature and metabolism and is known for improving the burning of excess fat.</p>
<p>Ginkgo Biloba is a natural blood thinner that increases the microcirculation to skin and fat cells.</p>
<p>Gotu Kolu is a natural source of caffeine.  Caffeine stimulates the beta-adrenoreceptors on the surface of the fat cells to release their stores of fatty acids, aiding in the burning of excess fat.</p>
<p>Green Tea:  Green tea is a mild stimulate that contains caffeine as well as powerful antioxidants that aid in the proper replication and repair of skin cells.</p>
<p>MSM: Is an important mineral that is necessary for skin cell repair.</p>
<p>EXTERNAL TREATMENTS FOR CELLULITE</p>
<p>Aloe Vera contains alatoin, which sooths and heals skin.  It has been shown clinically to increase microcirculation of the skin and to speed healing of skin tissues.</p>
<p>Betonite Clay is a natural mineral clay that is known for its ability to absorb impurities and toxins from the skin through the pores.</p>
<p>Horsetail, ginkgo biloba, kelp and green tea also work externally and can be added to lotions or creams for massage into problem areas.</p>
<p>Many experts have recommended using coffee grounds as a scrub for cellulite prone areas.  The grounds work as an exfoliant, as the caffeine absorbs into the skin and stimulate the beta adrenoreceptors in the fat cells to release their contents.</p>
<p>Dead Sea Salts and Kelp or bladderwrack contain powerful minerals that aid in the repair of skin cells as well as the mineral iodine which can aid in the metabolism of the underlying fat cells.</p>
<p>There are also many commercial formulas and methods for the reduction of cellulite.  Most contain caffeine or a similar chemical called theophylline or aminophylline.  Many also contain kelp, bladderwrack and other herbs mentioned herein.</p>
<p>Just remember that cellulite reduction is a two step process.  The cause of cellulite is over-sized fat cells that have stretched out the collagen structure underlying the skin.  The first step is to reduce bodyfat, and many herbs and nutrients both external and external can accelerate the process.  The second step is to increase the strength of the skin and the collagen webs under the subcutaneous tissues.  Skin and collagen require vitamins, minerals and fatty acids to rebuild themselves properly.  Excess fluids can exacerbate the problem, so proper fluid intake and circulation is important.  Drink plenty of fluids, and stay active to increase the circulation of the lymph system. With a little diligent effort the appearance of cellulite can be reduced.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What Causes Cellulite And How To Prevent It</p>
<p>It is a common knowledge that the appearance of cellulite is more common in women; and their age is of minor importance here since cellulite is often caused by hormonal disorders.</p>
<p>During the onset of puberty the body begins to produce hormones, including female ones that are responsible for formation of adipose tissue and may damage circulation and drainage in the tissues under the skin.</p>
<p>However, abnormal changes in tissues can be avoided if hormonal disorders are taken care of on the early stages. The young bodies can defend themselves better; and such disorders in teens are caused mostly by changes in metabolic process and thus are of temporary nature.</p>
<p>A number of factors can cause cellulite, however, the main causes are hereditary factors and unhealthy lifestyle. Hereditary factor cannot be denied since there are too many examples of this abound. What is more, however paradoxical it may seem, family upbringing plays a significant role in why we live an unhealthy lifestyle. The expression unhealthy lifestyle has an extensive meaning and includes a number of factors characteristic of human beings. In this connection the Oriental wisdom should be mentioned: in Orientalism the harmony and ways to achieve it were explored for years. The life is conceived by Oriental people as the unity of light yang and dark yin. There is no telling that yang is good and should exist, while yin is bad and should be got rid of. Such approach is typical of a Westerner accustomed to oppose good to evil. A Chinese or Japanese, however, sees no conflict here, and accepts the world as is, with any seeming contradictions.</p>
<p>In fact, who can say for sure what is better and what is worse: warmth or cold, day or night, man or woman? These are indivisible and interconnected components of our world that form the world order  Dao. And a human&#8217;s aim is to cognize Dao, and achieve harmony by adjusting the life to the naturalness of the world. It surely requires many efforts, and we have to rid ourselves step by step of vileness in us.</p>
<p>If we consider this desire from the point of view of our flesh, we may come to many questions. And the first of them is what the right and healthy diet is?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cure For Cellulite</p>
<p>Cellulite- what is it?</p>
<p>Cellulite is the dimpled appearance of skin on the thighs of women. It also occurs on the buttocks. As women age, cellulite tends to increase. It looks like orange peel. The skin is not smooth, but has dimples on it. That is because of the uneven fat distribution below the skin layer.</p>
<p>Cellulite- why does it form?</p>
<p>Cellulite is a problem of displacement of fat below the skin. As we age, the dermal layer loses collagen and strength. As the dermal layer loses collagen, a shift takes place in the way the fat is placed below the skin. This uneven fat causes the dimples. If you believe that getting liposuction done will help, please drop the thought. It does not. The fat distribution cannot be reversed. Cellulite is something like wrinkles on the face. As we age, the collagen breaks down and reduces and we get wrinkles. Cellulite is similar. The only difference is that wrinkles can be treated easily while cellulite cannot be treated that easily. The way we get wrinkles on the face, we get Cellulite on thighs and buttocks. Why only women get it and not men is another question that will be answered below.</p>
<p>Cellulite- can it be prevented?</p>
<p>Cellulite cannot be prevented. There is no difference in the Cellulite fat and other body fat. The difference lies in the way the fat is laid out below the skin. That causes the dimples. Cellulite does not depend upon the weight. Even underweight women can get it. Cellulite depends on genetics, hormones and aging. Men rarely get it.</p>
<p>Cellulite- what is the treatment?</p>
<p>There are no treatments for cellulite. Some massages can help but only for few days. There is no permanent cure, though supplements, pills and creams are being sold claiming cellulite cure. People talk of different diet that will help treating cellulite. Creams are sold promising cellulite free appearance. Alternative therapies are suggested. Because there is no sure cure for cellulite, innocent customers are made to believe many things. Please don&#8217;t try anything unless your doctor says- yes. Cellulite cannot be treated that easily.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mesotherapy Medicine: Effective Cellulite Treatment or Snake Oil?</p>
<p>Mesotherapy has been practiced in Europe successfully for over a decade and is now becoming one of the hottest new cellulite reduction procedured being requested in American Medi-spas and doctors offices.  Along with its rising popularity has come questions about its proven effectiveness and scientific rigor supporting claims of its ability to melt fat and reduce cellulite deposits.</p>
<p>Mesotherapy Cellulite Treatment involves the use of medication compounds injected right into localized areas of the skin for fast absorbsion into the dermis layer. This fairly new procedure has rapidly become the latest trend for eliminating localized fat deposits and cellulite.  Some new studies suggest it may also have some anti-aging benefits. Mesotherapy claims to work by delivering tiny amounts of all natural extracts of vitamins and other pharmaceutical agents directly into the dermis, which then starts to melt away the fat deposits trapped inside the dermis layer which form part of the cellulite problem.  It also claims to improve circulation, repair weakened connective skin tissue and improve lymphatic drainage.</p>
<p>After an injection of the mesotharapy medication, practictioners claim your body will begin the process of stimulation and start to heal itself. Mesotherapy is usually practiced to target localized areas on the body for cellulite treatment, however it can also be used over the entire body for overall fat reduction. Mesotherapy is virtually painless with little or no side effects other than possible bruising or swelling which will usually last about a week and clear up. Comprehensive scientific studies on the effectiveness of Mesotherapy at reducing fat and cellulite is limited in the established medical community.  Mesotherapy has been practiced in European cities for well over a decade with generally positive overall annecdotal results and has also reported a good safety track record.</p>
<p>Mesotherapy is a well practiced cellulite reduction procedure that can help thousands of people every day in the treatment of cellulite and has been accepted as a standard procedure in most European anti aging skin care clinics for the last decade. This hot new way of treating cellulite may cost less than other more invasive cosmetic cellulite treatments, and overall is generally considered to be quite safe if performed by skilled practictioners that provide the highest grade of injectible ingredients.  The cost for Mesotherapy will depend on the location or area of where you live and doctors fees for this treatment will vary.  Most patients start to see actually improvement with as little as a couple of treatments. As with any treatment you should consult your health practictioners and not be afraid of seeking second opinions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How To Get Rid Of Cellulite: 5 Simple Tips</p>
<p>First of all, you cannot completely get rid of cellulite. I don&#8217;t say that to discourage you but rather to encourage you. The reason being that all women have it, even supermodels! That&#8217;s right, even the woman who makes Supermodels out of mere mortals, Tyra Banks has admitted to having cellulite.</p>
<p>However don&#8217;t fret. Here are 5 Simple Tips you can use to smoothe it out.</p>
<p>Simple Tip #1: By working out.</p>
<p>Your best bet is to combine cardio training with strength training to hit it with a double whammy.</p>
<p>Running and stair climbing should be a big part of your cardio for targeting cellulite.</p>
<p>As far as the strength training, you want to build muscle in the areas that are most likely going to be affected, such as the butt, the thighs, and the belly.</p>
<p>Squats, leg curls, sit-ups, and reverse sit-ups are your very best bet.</p>
<p>Simple Tip #2: You must drink plenty water! About 1 &#8211; 2 litres a day to flush out toxins that can cause cellulite.</p>
<p>Fat cells surround toxins as a way of protecting your body. One way to lose the fat cells that surround the toxins is to lose the toxins of course.</p>
<p>Also, staying hydrated is important to the appearance of the skin, keeps the muscles fuller, and of course flushes the system.</p>
<p>Simple Tip #3: Body brushing helps.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s very simple. The best place to do this is in the shower since you&#8217;re already naked anyways.</p>
<p>You want to brush in circular movements upwards towards the heart. This promotes circulation and blood flow, plus a detoxifying affect since it stimulates the lymph system.</p>
<p>Simple Tip #4: Eat plenty of green vegetables such as broccoli, which is great for de-toxing.</p>
<p>Obviously, entire books can and have been written about diet so I can&#8217;t go through it all here, but the best diet for cellulite and fat reduction is one made up mostly of vegetable, particularly raw ones.</p>
<p>Okay, Tip 5 is not soooo simple.</p>
<p>Not so Simple Tip #5: After trying exercise and a good diet without positive results in losing cellulite dimples, the last resort is through lipsosuction. There are some creams with caffeine in them that may mask the cellulite appearance, but surgery is usually the last resort effort.<br />
The downfall being that the cost is usually at least $5000 on up.</p>
<p>Bonus Tip#6: Become happy with yourself the way that you are. Read self-help books, or see a therapist. There&#8217;s no better feeling than being happy with yourself. Go grab the great book &#8220;Psycho Cybernetics&#8221; and apply what you learn to developing killer self-confidence.</p>
<p>Cellulite may just be the least of your problems on the grand scale.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cellulite: Its Causes and Treatments</p>
<p>Cellulite refers to the fat stored on specific body parts especially on the abdomen. It looks like orange peel or cottage cheese under the skin.</p>
<p>Causes</p>
<p>Cellulite is a fat tissue that appears below the skin&#8217;s surface. People does not need to be overweight to have cellulite, in fact, skinny people can have some on their buttocks, breasts, thighs, and abdomen. Cellulite is cause by the following:</p>
<p>1. Genetics.</p>
<p>People who have close relatives that have cellulite are more prone to it. Studies show that almost 85% of women who have cellulites have relatives (mostly parents) affected by the same problem at least once in their lives.</p>
<p>2. Lack of exercise.</p>
<p>People who do not exercise need to tone their muscles to prevent cellulite formation. Following a cardiovascular program or strength training is one way in keeping cellulite away from the body. Walking, jogging, and swimming are also fun activities to avoid cellulites.</p>
<p>3. Poor eating habits.</p>
<p>Unhealthy food together with excess consumption of alcohol, caffeine or spicy foods are closely linked to cellulite formation. When a person takes too much of these foods, the body looses its ability to flush the toxins they produce so they are stored in the fatty tissue. Experts recommend 8 glasses of water everyday instead of caffeine or alcoholic beverages.</p>
<p>4. Smoking.</p>
<p>Few people know that smoking is one of the causes of cellulite formation. It weakens the skin by constricting the capillaries and harms the connective tissue. As a result, the skin develops cellulites.</p>
<p>A surefire way to reduce or eliminate cellulite is through a healthy diet, consistent exercise, and enough water to remove the toxins from the body.</p>
<p>Treatment</p>
<p>There are a lot of cellulite remedies in the market today. Some of them are the following:</p>
<p>People who are suffering from excessive cellulites and have the need to eliminate them as soon as possible resort to liposuction. This is the removal of cellulite or fat deposits through surgical procedure. Although liposuction has potential side effects, more and more people are going for it because of its fast and excellent results.</p>
<p>However, people who do not have the budget or the guts to try liposuction use cellulite creams that contain minerals, herbs, antioxidants, and vitamins. These creams provide needed moisture and increase the blood supply to remedy damaged and dehydrated cellulite-affected body parts. These creams have low approval rate because minimal results can be seen in few months.</p>
<p>Cellulite lift on the other hand, has very promising results. This is specifically designed for people who have lost considerable amount of weight that resulted to excess skin. As of today, cellulite lift is the most invasive procedure to restore youthful, firm skin. While it promises great results, it also comes with disadvantages. It can leave extensive scar and longer recovery period for the patient.</p>
<p>Another treatment is called Laser Lipolisis. This technique was developed in Italy. This is done by inserting fiber-optic laser through small incisions on the target body part. This laser absorbs more than 500 grams of body fat.</p>
<p>Cellulite is one of the biggest problems being faced by Americans today. However, with the prevention tips and techniques, cellulite should be no big deal! Learn how to fight it and have get a body beautiful in no time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When George turned 65, he was 25 pounds overweight. By strict dieting, he shed the extra pounds, but he lost more weight; he also lost his energy and vitality. He was always exhausted, and his friends, seeing his gaunt, drawn face, worried about his health.</p>
<p>By the time volunteered for a particular fitness program two years later, he had put 25 extra pounds back on. After 6 months of exercise and some willpower at the dinner table, Mike slimmed down again. This time he felt better than he ever had, brimming with energy and glowing with good health.</p>
<p>What made the difference? The first time Mike lost weight; the second time he lost fat. The distinction is important. According to research, a large portion of the weight lost by dieting alone is active tissue, such as muscle and connective tissue, while a smaller fraction is excess fat. Exercise has the opposite effect. It increased his lean body mass and decreased his excess fat.</p>
<p>Same thing goes with cellulite. Most people tend to think that cellulites are only present to people who are obese. That is why they sometimes associate cellulite with fats and obesity.</p>
<p>Actually, even if cellulite refers to the chain of wrinkled &#8220;fat cells&#8221; and &#8220;subcutaneous connective tissues&#8221; beneath the layer of the skin, it should never be associated with people who are fat or obese. In fact, there are many people who have cellulite but are not fat at all.</p>
<p>In reality, nobody knows the main reason why some people accumulate cellulite. However, there are some factors that health experts are considering such as the structure of the fat cells or the poison that entered the body. Some experts say it may be caused by some hormonal changes in the body. But none of these things has been proven to cause cellulites.</p>
<p>However, the only main reason why most of the cellulite cases are abundant in women is that the connective tissues of women are more rigid and firm than men. Hence, whenever a woman gets fat, the fatty cells tend to swell and get bigger. It creates a protruding appearance to the skin producing an &#8220;orange peel&#8221; look.</p>
<p>For this reason, women are more prone to cellulite than men. That is why it is important for women to be more careful on their body as they have higher chances of accumulating cellulite.</p>
<p>Fats and Cellulite</p>
<p>With the many cases of obese people having cellulites in their body, most of them believed that their cellulites are caused by being too fat.</p>
<p>Even though not all those who are obese develop cellulites, being overweight can really trigger the development of cellulites. This is because too much fat under the skin tend to push the connective tissue creating a strain on the skin. Thus, cellulites form.</p>
<p>However, this is still dependent on the structure of the cells. If an individual&#8217;s cell structure does not inhibit the tendency to bulge or expand even if fat deposits accumulate, then there will be no cellulites.</p>
<p>So, the most important thing to remember here is to keep those connective tissues firm and strong and avoid accumulating excess fats so as to avoid the development of cellulite.</p>
<p>How? Start an exercise routine program.</p>
<p>Transforming food into fat seems all too easy for most of us. Losing fat is far more difficult, and to accomplish this, we have only three alternatives: (1) decrease food intake and keep activity constant; (2) increase activity and keep food intake constant; or (3) combine both approaches: diet and exercise.</p>
<p>Physical activity can help reverse the results of inactivity. An hour of vigorous exercise burns up 300 to 600 calories. If you also cut 300 to 500 calories from your daily menu, you can also lose weight at the rate of one to two pounds a week.</p>
<p>Without exercise, you would have to eat 500 to 1,000 fewer calories a day to lose the same number of pounds in a week. Exercise is not for everyone who is over-fat, however. The severely obese person should exercise only under medical supervision to prevent strain on the cardiovascular system and connective tissue. And no one should restrict food intake drastically without consulting doctor.</p>
<p>Resorting to this kind of activity will only get the matter worse. Remember what happened to Mike? He thought that when he started dieting, he would eventually lose all the excess fats he has accumulated. The problem is that he lost those connective tissues rather than excess fat.</p>
<p>For people who are prone to cellulites, this will be a greater problem. Losing connective tissues instead of fat by strict dieting can only make the skin more prone to greater problems but the fat cells are still there. That only means that the problem is not solved at all.</p>
<p>Hence, if you wish to loose those cellulites, it would be better to loose those fats first. The idea here is to burn those fats by increasing your metabolism by 7.5% to 28% more than your normal rate.</p>
<p>It is for this reason that exercising is an important factor in losing cellulite. So for a more cellulite free body, always engage in an exercise routine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Discover Everything You Need To Know About Cellulite</p>
<p>Embarrassing and unsightly, no one likes cellulite, on themselves or anyone else. But while most people have no trouble identifying it, scant few understand exactly what cellulite is.</p>
<p>Cellulite is fat that protrudes out from the lower layers of skin into the dermis, or outer layer of the skin. Cellulite gives a dimpled appearance to the skin, often grotesquely described as a &#8220;cottage cheese&#8221; look. Commonly cellulite is seen on the rear end, thighs, and lower legs, though it can appear elsewhere.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, modern science still knows very little about the cause or causes of cellulite. We do know, however that between 85% and 98% of women (that&#8217;s almost all women) have at least some cellulite somewhere on their bodies. So, contrary to popular misconception, then, and despite how used to seeing cellulite on obese people we may be, cellulite is not a derivative of being overweight.</p>
<p>Science has also observed that cellulite is less common in men, leading many researchers to believe there is hormonal component to its formation. Prevailing theories suggest that the appearance of cellulite could be related to one&#8217;s diet, more specifically the ingestion of large amount of trans-fats as well as foods like pasta, white bread, and other foods heavy in white flour. Again, this is suspected, but not yet &#8220;known&#8221; or proven.</p>
<p>As is the case whenever a perceived new problem arises in our culture, manufacturers scamper to produce and release countless products targeting the cellulite-afflicted. You&#8217;ll find gels, lotions, pills and more all promising to rid you of that unsightly cellulite. Do they work? So far there&#8217;s nothing but anecdotal evidence supporting these products at best.</p>
<p>Another false hope in the battle against cellulite is liposuction, the removal of fat from the body through surgery. Liposuction does not suck out cellulite.</p>
<p>Some sufferers have found that certain kinds of massage may produce a temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite on the body, but not a reduction in the actual existence of it. This is because there are no blood vessels in subcutaneous fat, so when the body is massaged and circulation below the skin is stimulated, the surface of the skin appears smoothed out. Massage, then, is only a superficial solution to cellulite, and one with effects lasting only for the short term.</p>
<p>The only steps so far that have shown to make any real and lasting reduction in cellulite are the same steps advised for proper and effective weight loss: a healthy lifestyle. Eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, and getting plenty of both exercise and rest seems to be the only known remedy for unsightly and embarrassing cellulite. It&#8217;s not reinventing the wheel, and it&#8217;s no quick fix &#8230; but it works. And when it comes to looking and feeling good, what works is all that matters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What You Need to Know About Cellulite</p>
<p>The term cellulite originated in European spas and salons and they explain it as deposits of tiny fat globules on the buttocks and thighs.  Cellulite is a buildup of lumpy, thick, irregular fat deposits with an orange peel appearance.  The most common areas are around the buttocks, hips, and thighs, and is not necessarily a factor of body weight.  You do not have to be heavy to have cellulite.  Nevertheless, it is possible to reduce the appearance of cellulite.</p>
<p>Cellulite is not a medical term.  However, medical professionals agree that it is a buildup of common fatty tissue.  The skin is connected by strands of fibrous tissues to deeper tissue layers, which separates the fat cell compartments.  The increase in the size of fat cells is accompanied by a waffled appearance of the skin that results in the bulging of the fat cell compartments.</p>
<p>Speedy metabolism and detoxification in the body help in gradual elimination of cellulite.  A healthy metabolism is capable of eradicating cellulite forever. The proper functioning of the liver is also necessary for detoxification.<br />
Bio-ceramic additive reflects your body&#8217;s own infrared rays, which help to break down cellulite cells and revitalize tissue.  Increased heat and molecular stimulation enhances the effectiveness of exercise, increases blood flow, and accelerates metabolism to burn more calories.<br />
Women who are concerned about cellulite can take certain steps to reduce the appearance or eliminate it altogether.  Eating a well balance diet that is low in fat will help to reduce and eliminate further progression.  Exercise is also an important factor; if the body is toned, it results in good circulation, thus another step in reducing cellulite.  In addition, drinking plenty of water has many health benefits and will aid in fighting cellulite.</p>
<p>Genetics and hormones may also play a factor in whether you develop cellulite.  While there is not much we can do about genetics and hormones, eating a healthy diet and exercise has proven to reduce and even avoid cellulite.</p>
