Losing weight is only the initial stage to put your figure in order. Many women and even men are worried about the problem of cellulite – a cosmetic flaw that spoils the mood.
Moreover, at a certain stage of losing weight, the orange peel becomes even looser, which completely upsets us. How to organize your meals in order to finally get rid of the hated cellulite?
The term “cellulite” appeared in the 70s of the XIX century, but it was considered not by cosmetologists, but by doctors, as an infectious inflammatory disease of the connective tissue of the skin. And for sure today we would not know this term, if not for the case. The owner of a New York beauty salon Nicole Ronsard in 1973 for the first time stated on the pages of a popular authoritative American magazine that skin irregularities on a woman’s body are an external defect “cellulite” and urged women to fight it in every possible way.
How does cellulite appear
In the subcutaneous fat layer of the female body, under the influence of hormones, structural changes occur, which lead to impaired circulation of blood and lymph. As a result, connective tissue grows and subcutaneous fat is unevenly distributed. Cellulite appears not only in the presence of excess weight, but, of course, in this case, the chances of getting rid of it are less.
Cellulite develops during puberty, during pregnancy and lactation, and with age, when the hormonal system is rebuilt again. Despite the fact that cellulite is a sexual characteristic, it is also found in men with a lack of male hormones.
There are factors that increase the formation of cellulite – these are both bad habits and unhealthy diet. And also an excessive passion for various diets increases the chance of getting loose skin.
