Cellulite is the growth of subcutaneous fat tissue, which is accompanied by a change in the structure of cells, as well as a deterioration in local blood circulation and metabolic processes. Externally, it manifests itself in the deterioration of the skin relief, the formation of bumps and depressions or, as they say, an orange peel.

Cellulite occurs in more than 85% of women of all ages, regardless of weight and physique. In medical circles, it is considered not a disease, but rather a physiological process. However, cellulite cannot be considered only a cosmetic problem, because in some cases it can be caused by serious disorders in the body.

One of the main causes of cellulite is an imbalance of female sex hormones - estrogens. During the menstrual cycle, they are produced in different quantities and compensate for each other's effects. If their ratio is disturbed, certain malfunctions occur in the body. Including they affect the condition of adipose and connective tissue.

Also, although cellulite can develop in slim people, excess weight increases the likelihood of its appearance many times. Accordingly, a sedentary lifestyle and improper diet can lead to weight gain and the appearance of the so-called orange peel.

Smoking is an equally important factor. It leads to thinning of the vascular walls and the deposition of resins and other substances added to tobacco in them. As a result, blood supply is disrupted and cellular metabolism slows down.

You can check for cellulite yourself. To do this, grab a fold of skin and look for characteristic bumps. If so, the answer is most likely positive. If the skin remains smooth, then there is no such problem.

If cellulite is severe, obesity or the presence of other symptoms of the disease, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Cellulite can be caused by various disorders in the body that require medical supervision and treatment.

There are 4 stages of cellulite development:

1. In the first stage, the external manifestations of cellulite are almost invisible. The skin remains smooth, only sometimes slight swelling and edema appear.
2. In the second stage, an “orange peel” appears. Swelling increases, the blood supply to the tissues is disrupted, and oxygen starvation of the cells occurs. Fat deposits become denser and begin to grow collagen fibers.
3. In the third stage, cellulite becomes more noticeable - large bumps appear on the skin. Due to tissue edema, blood vessels are squeezed and cellular metabolism is disrupted - the end products of metabolism are not removed from the cells, and they do not receive nutrients. The skin in the place of cellulite accumulation seems cooler than in other areas.
4. In the fourth stage, fibrous cellulite develops, for the treatment of which medical indications appear. Blood circulation and lymph flow are severely disrupted. The skin becomes cold, a bluish tint appears, and sensitivity decreases.

Cellulite is most often noticed at stage 2 or 3, when, with the right treatment, it can be successfully eliminated.

To eliminate cellulite, a comprehensive approach is necessary:

• nutrition correction;
• dosed physical activity;
• massage and cosmetic procedures;
• treatment of concomitant diseases, normalization of metabolism and body weight.

All elements are equally important, and you can achieve results only by adhering to a clearly developed plan. To make this easier, you can contact a nutritionist to draw up an individual menu, a fitness trainer to develop a training program, and a cosmetologist to conduct anti-cellulite procedures.

There are other procedures that are used to combat cellulite. To get the maximum effect, it is better to consult a specialist in advance. He will select the most effective therapy taking into account the stage of cellulite and other individual characteristics.

To prevent cellulite, it is first recommended to adhere to a healthy lifestyle: exercise, eat a balanced diet, drink enough water, give up smoking and alcohol. These bad habits negatively affect the condition of blood vessels, which disrupts the normal blood supply to cells, slows down metabolism and increases the likelihood of developing cellulite.

Also, to prevent cellulite, it is recommended to:

• take a contrast shower;
• wear comfortable shoes (high-heeled shoes affect the condition of blood vessels and can also contribute to impaired blood supply to fat and connective tissue cells);
• do not wear clothes that squeeze the body and disrupt blood circulation;
• take massage courses and hardware procedures;
• do self-massage of problem areas.
