HOW TO LIMIT THE CELLULITE DURING PREGNANCY?

From the beginning, the pregnancy is in favor of cellulite . Then, more weight gain during pregnancy , the greater the risk of taking as the cellulite is a concern. Initially, it is a hormonal history.But ultimately, how to limit the process and how to get rid of it?

Why is it a pregnancy at risk of cellulite?

First, the cellulite seems sensitive to female sex hormones: estrogen. Hence the fact that the appearance of cellulite begins at puberty and tends to increase with events hormonal contraceptives and other hormone treatments,pregnancy and lactation. You should know that estrogen stimulates fat storage (energy reserves), especially useful in preparation for pregnancy and lactation precisely. The formation of cellulite also imply poor tissue perfusion, causing a loss of elasticity. Result, clusters are formed and the skin has folds giving the appearance "orange peel". Returning specifically to pregnancy , the intervention of another hormone play an important role prolactin. It is naturally produced in order to prepare the mammary glands for lactation. But it also contributes to stimulate the formation of reserve cells fat , while increasing water retention in those tissues greasy . And finally, in the last weeks of pregnancy , weight and volume of the baby reinforce this by compressing the blood vessels. Venous return is slowed, hampering blood circulation in areas conducive to the accumulation of cellulite thighs, hips, buttocks. Of course, the risk of having the cellulite depends on each woman's own physiology (functioning of various organs of the body) and the number of pounds taken during pregnancy .
