CELLULITE AND BODY FAT

The suffix "itis" in medical terms, means "inflammation." The term " cellulite "is a misnomer because it is not really an inflammation of the cells. However, it defines the nightmare of many women: it is they who are the main victims.

The cellulite is a disgraceful distortion of adipose tissue subcutaneously, just below the skin, hence the familiar name of'' orange peel ''. Rather than be flat and smooth as it should, the gondola skin more or less (depending on the stage of cellulite ), forming craters, also more or less important. All this is not good news, let alone sexy! The cellulite settles preferentially on the thighs and buttocks, the abdomen but can also be housed elsewhere, arms, breasts, abdomen. In fact, wherever there is fat .

Adipose tissue

The adipose tissue consists of cells called adipocytes, whose function is to store lipids (fats). Depending on the circumstances of life, heredity, pregnancy ,weight gain , these fat cells multiply and fill up. It is spread over almost the entire body (the skull is free) but very unevenly: there is almost none on the hands, forearms, legs, for example, but many women's thighs and male torsos .Indeed, the distribution of adipose tissue is different by gender: gender does not exist in this area. This difference sets at puberty under the influence of sex hormones secreted at the time. Testosterone, male hormone localized fat on the upper body while the female hormone estrogen, are anchored on the bottom. Among men, the adipose tissue represents 12% of their normal weight . It is installed primarily on the torso (neck, shoulders, chest and part of the abdomen). On the buttocks and thighs, they benefit only a thin layer of fat.For women, quite the contrary. They are normally physiologically, twice as fat as a man. The adipose tissue represents about 25% of their normal weight. Most of it is distributed over the lower body: buttocks, hips, thighs are the places which are best provided. This location also corresponds - like it or not! - To ethnic characteristics. And women from around the Mediterranean basin have often amphora hips while women in the North are more slender.

Why are women more fat than men?

Nature has decided. And this, nothing can. The adipose tissue , whether male or female, is the energy reservoir of the organism. Women are primarily formed to give life and perpetuate the human species. This feature requires energy physics: it takes about 80,000 calories to make a child. Therefore, since the time of caves and even before, they are equipped to hold large reserves of energy, ie adipose tissue , in order not only to feed the world but also small in all circumstances, even Famine. The fat stored in adipose tissue of the thighs and buttocks is always the strongest, the most difficult to mobilize. That (men) received top drains much faster. Why? Because while the women made and suckling children, men would hunt mammoth to feed their families. And to run after the creature, they needed an immediate energy. The fact that women procreate when they want, they can bottle-feed their babies and that most men do not hunt in that office has changed nothing in their physiology, or the importance of their respective fat nor his distribution.

Why Men Have not cellulite?

Because the installation of the latter is most often linked to female hormones, estrogens. The gentlemen in manufacturing but also much, much less than women. These hormones, women secrete continuously, they are inundated at certain times (monthly) and even more during their pregnancies. cellulite and adipose tissue are unfortunately an area where equality between men and women does not exist .

False cellulite

We can have big thighs and big butt without cellulite . In this case, it is generally above normal weight because extra pounds installed preferably on the body part, requires female distribution. Fat cells are filled with fat but still normal size: they form the fatty tissue. They do not hinder the movement of small blood vessels, nor the lymph vessels. The exchange of water, nutrients and wastes between cells is done correctly. The skin is smooth thighs. The only tactic adopted then: lose weight and support the consolidation of its supply of a daily walk of at least 1 hour.

True cellulite and normal weight

Thighs and buttocks are normal sized or coated with thin but that horribleorange peel , typical of cellulite . This scenario is, unfortunately, even if not the most common. There are many ways to prevent and treat cellulite : exercise to increase circulation being the best.

True cellulite and high weight

Thighs and buttocks are too large and lined with orange peel . This is the most frequent case. The fat cells are gorged with fat, their size increases. Then they block the circulation in the legs by promoting venous insufficiency common among women. The fiber network is installed, the cellulite is favored or not by hormonal disturbances. It can only develop if it does not start:

• to lose weight slowly because any abrupt weight loss that can disrupt even more.
• to walk every day, regularly: we have not yet found it more convenient to activate the circulation in the legs.
• a specific treatment of affected areas of cellulite that destroy the grid sclerotic fibers.
