Cellulite Myths -vs- Facts
Cellulite is a common problem for more than 85
percent of women nowadays. The problem is, cellulite is surrounded
by many myths and ill conceived ideas. I refer of course to those
facts about cellulite that are very popular, but are completely or
partially false, but are thought by many people to be true.

A. there is a general opinion that only women
in their 30s get cellulite. This is not true. Both women and
men, of any age, size, weight or structure can develop at a
certain age cellulite on specific parts of their body. In
fact, there are cases of both young women and men who
develop cellulite before they are 20 years old. It is true
that older people are more likely to suffer from this
condition. This can be simply explained by the fact that
older people have thinner skin.
B. cellulite can only appear on the thighs
and hip. This is another myth. On women, cellulite is more
likely to develop on the hips and thighs; however it also
develops on the buttocks, arms and other parts of their
body. On men, cellulite is more likely to develop on their
abdomen, and sometimes on their neck.
C. the most common cellulite myth is that
only over-weight people develop cellulite. Some really obese
people develop no cellulite at all, yet many slim people
have a lot of cellulite. |

Though obese people are more prone to
developing cellulite, it isn't an automatic problem. We all have
fat cells in our body, so we all can develop cellulite.
D. many people believe that diets and exercises
can fully eliminate cellulite. This is partially true. A proper
anti cellulite diet and a daily exercise program can lead to a
reduction of cellulite. Unfortunately, this will only be a
temporarily effect, and after a while the cellulite will appear
again on your hips, buttocks of thighs.

E. a salt-free diet will eliminate cellulite.
Just like the myth I mentioned above this is partially true
too. Salt is not the cause for cellulite, but it definitely
doesn't help it. A normal consumption of salt (5 to 10 grams
per day) would not affect you in any way.
F. Eliminate superfluous liquid by using
diuretic and depletive remedies and teas. This is common
advice you may be given by your friends or relatives. In
reality, if you try this, you will only develop more
cellulite and you may even make yourself ill. If you really
want to eliminate unnecessary liquid, you can do this with
green tea, fruits and vegetables, flakes or with soda-free
water.
So, don’t listen to all your friends’ advices
and make the wrong decisions. The right thing to do in this
case is to see a physician or any other specialists that
will tell you all about cellulite. |

Before you start a cellulite treatment or buy ant
cellulite products make sure that they are recommended by
someone who really knows what he’s talking about.
