Many people believe that fat and cellulite are the same thing.

They are not. Cellulite is a kind of fat tissue in the

subcutaneous layer of the skin that contains constricting bands

of connective tissue. This connective tissue, which varies in

thickness and is laced with fat cells, is held in place by a

network of fibers that protects our body, cushioning our muscles

and organs; it is also surrounded by a liquid that both nourishes

it and provides it with an effective waste system. When all is

working well in the system, waste products are removed from the

body and smooth curves result; when fats, fluids and toxins are

trapped deep in the skin (below the epidural layer), the

connective tissue thickens and hardens, giving a dimpling effect.

As we mature, the layer of skin thins, resulting in the rippled

appearance of cellulite.

What is the difference between cellulite and fat? Though everyone

has a smooth layer of fat, individual amounts depend on weight,

lifestyle and genetics. This fat layer acts as an insulator for

the body and cushions the organs, muscles and nerves. Cellulite,

on the other hand, is lumpy and provides no padding whatsoever.

It only occurs in certain areas of the body: the thighs,

buttocks, abdomen and breasts. When men get cellulite, it tends

to be on the neck and abdomen. Cellulite is that bumpy looking

fat that accumulates around the buttocks, abdomen or breast.

Cellulite is not necessarily a factor of body weight. You don't

have to be heavy to have cellulite. Everyone has some cellulite,

somewhere in their body. However, it shows through more on some

people than it does others. Though diet and lifestyle have an

impact on cellulite formation, cellulite is primarily comprised

of toxins, poisons and fats that build up and remain in the body.

It can affect both men and women of any age, size, weight and

body structure.

There are several reasons why cellulite forms under the skin:

lack of daily exercise, a sluggish or sick liver, a decreased

metabolic rate, toxins in the body, hormonal changes, and the

consumption of too much fatty and unhealthy food. Most of these

reasons can be avoided, but some cannot.

It is very hard to get rid of cellulite. The best thing that one

can do is to eat healthy foods and exercise regularly. Do not

eat foods that are high in fat or salt. Do not skip meals and

make sure you eat three well-rounded, healthy meals per day. Ten

to fifteen minutes of brisk walking daily can also help reduce

cellulite. Sometimes, a doctor can perform surgical liposuction

to take the cellulite out. Medical or professional massages have

also been proven to help eliminate cellulite. Like walking, ten

to fifteen minutes of massage can reduce cellulite. There are

also supplements and topical preparations that can help you get

rid of unsightly cellulite. One such topical preparation is

Celluthin. Available at http://www.bodestore.com ,

Celluthin can be used on the stomach, buttocks, thighs, arms

or anywhere you may have cellulite.

Cellulite is different from fat and everyone has some cellulite.

Man or woman, young or old, your body has cellulite under the

skin. With the proper diet, nutrition and exercise, you can

reduce cellulite. Medical massages, treatments, and supplements

are also available to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
