Cellulite is the accumulation of fat cells which have become trapped in the collagen and elastin fibers. The result is lumpy, unattractive puckered or 'orange peel' appearance of the skin of parts of the body where fat tends to accumulate. |

Cellulite is believed to be caused by a combination of lifestyle, diet (too many rich foods), lack of exercise, poor lymph and blood circulation, an excess of tobacco and alcohol, and ageing. It may also be hereditary.

Cellulite mainly affects women. Cellulite affects 90% of women, regardless of age, weight or body type (even skinny models). When levels of hormones change dramatically - such as at puberty and during pregnancy - something causes cellulite to be laid down.
Cellulite is “localized fat” not related to overall weight status. Some thin people get cellulite. These fat cells are most commonly located in the lower part of the body (eg. tummy, buttock, hips, thighs) but we still can find cellulite at upper arms

Have you ever gone on a successful exercise or dieting program only to find that you lost excess weight but the cellulite was still there? Cellulite is in essence imprisoned fat, and cannot be eliminated by diet and exercise alone. While well-balanced diet and exercise are recommended in order to prevent cellulite. |
