How to deal with cellulite
By Brad Callen
W e are discussing ways to eliminate (or at least reduce) cellulite. We discussed in the previous article about what is cellulite and and how do you get cellulite. In the second article we talked about important factors in development of cellulite and about bands in women. Here we discuss why men don’t get cellulite and other myths about cellulite.
Why Dont Men Have Cellulite?
T he reason men typically do not have cellulite is simply because of the way the fibers within their dermis are shaped. They arent crossed, they are perpendicular to the skin as I stated above, and so a build up of sweaty fat beneath the skin never takes place. Not only are the fibrous bands in women crossed, but also they tend to be much tighter than mens, which causes a pulling on the skin and ends up causing the actual dimpling effect.

A nother reason that men tend to not accumulate cellulite is because they have tougher skin corium (dermis), which doesnt allow a build up of fat to collect. Men, therefore, have smoother, tighter skin than women do. Another factor is hormonal. Estrogen revs up fat storage as needed for menstruation and pregnancy. Plus, in the late stages of pregnancy estrogen can actually break collagen tissue fibers apart, which is a crucial step in relaxing the cervix for childbirth. Ladies, Im sorry to say this but all of this sets up a major breeding for cellulite. Progesterone, also found in women, plays a role by stressing out your veins, making you retain fluid and causing you to put on the pounds.

Separating Fact from Fiction
I t is simply a myth that you wont get cellulite if you stay at a normal body weight. The truth is, even if you have just 15% body fat, you can still have cellulite, even if you must squeeze the skin to see it. There are a number of reasons thin women can still get cellulite, which include the following: (Related: Leg extension surgery)
Poor blood circulation Lack of exercise Eating foods high in preservatives
Food allergies Poor lymph system drainage Too much sun
H ave you ever heard that eating lots of bread or drinking lots of carbonated drinks causes cellulite? Well, although the result may be an increase in cellulite, the underlying cause isnt the soda or bread. Cellulite is fat deposits under the skin. By eating foods high in fat and calories you will increase your fat level, thus increasing your level of cellulite. There are a lot of methods that claim to cure cellulite.
