When Do We Get Cellulite?

The appearance of cellulite can be worsened be some, or all of the following lifestyle factors: hormones, age, and diet and exercise. Within this passage we will examine each of these lifestyle factors to help determine how each specifically may be affecting you.
Hormones, primarily, plays an integral role in the appearance of our cellulite. A woman’s body is always changing. From the onset of menstruation, birth control use, child bearing, and so on, the levels and type of hormones in our bodies can wreak havoc on our skin. Thereby, an increase in the appearance of cellulite can be during each major and minor hormonal change.

Age, secondly, can exact a toll on our skin. We notice cellulite developing more as we age. We probably had the conditions for cellulite since adolescence, but we see the cellulite more as our collagen production decreases. Hence, our cellulite looks worse as our skin slackens. Repeated sun exposure can help speed the process on aging our skin and should be avoided as much as possible.
Diet and exercise, thirdly, can affect cellulite, although minimally. It is true that if you gain weight, your cellulite may be more apparent, but diet and exercise alone does not seem to remedy the appearance of cellulite. It does seem, however that a diet high in fiber and water can help flush the system of some of the lymphatic congestion that occurs in the crowded outer layer of fat. Thereby, any treatment preferred to decrease or eliminate the amount of cellulite in a person’s body should be supplemented with good hydration and vigorous cardiovascular activities.
