Top 5 causes of cellulite


1. Hormones.
Modernity and intensive agricultural technologies, penetrating even cow's milk, infant formulas based on cow's milk, meat or poultry, containing hormonal supplements (growth). These are products of wide circulation because they are considered vital to children's development and are full of hormones. These products consumed by children if taken in abuse have a great future of getting the necessary conditions for the appearance of cellulite.

Think about your diet not only children, also adults. More and more people in Western countries prefer natural products, grown by farmers, eliminating the use of stimulants. In some countries, open special stores for organic food. In supermarkets there are stands with food labeled as organic - organic food grown on natural fertilizers and without the use of genetic engineering technologies.

Another source of stress hormone - oral contraceptives, which are beginning to adopt many of today's young women to avoid unwanted pregnancy. However, many of them are not always aware of the fact that they are paving the way for cellulite: Hormones actively interfere with the metabolism, especially in fat and water that gives elasticity to the skin. In addition, a charge of sex hormones stimulate the accumulation of fat.

2. Artificial stimulants.
These include coffee, soft drinks with artificial additives - colors, flavors and taste imitators. All this is not natural, are toxic and are perceived by the body as foreign substances that accumulate in the deposits of cellulite.

Furthermore, the alcohol prevents the absorption of B vitamins, and detoxification.

The price of this diet is too high: the lack of water violates the welfare of the skin. Advised to drink 8-10 glasses per day of mineral water, fruit juices and vegetables - that help maintain a good balance of moisture and elasticity of the skin.

4. Ultraviolet rays.
The direct sunlight - the worst enemy of the skin, where it has already begun the process of cellulite. Creams protection filters do not help, protect only the surface of the skin but the subcutaneous tissue suffers from overheating. Ultraviolet radiation reduces the elasticity and firmness of the skin, removing moisture.

The tanning beds are worse, there's ultraviolet rays penetrate deeper than the sun. That affect average skin layers, contributing to further development of cellulite.

5. Stress.
Stress affects the formation of cellulite is not directly associated but through the production of unhealthy habits, "borrowing" the tension with something sweet. According to research from the American Institute of Aesthetic Medicine, women who do not have cellulite but rarely eat sweets. The leaders of this indicator, Japanese women, who had practically no cellulite "orange peel". Meals of seafood, vegetables, seaweed and rice, in which almost no desserts, is considered the best prevention. Another anti-cellulite can be considered Mediterranean cuisine, in which there is a lot of vegetables, fruits, vegetable oils, fish but little meat and sweets.
