About cellulite talk so much that it has become almost a legend. But do all of the above is true? And if we are not in captivity prejudices? It turns out that all that we know about cellulite, bears little resemblance to the truth. Most of us believe the myths about it. How? Let's investigate.
It is high time to stop thinking that:
1. Cellulite - it is only for women
This is perhaps the most common myth. Let the nature of men's skin is thicker and stronger connective tissue, but cellulite can overtake them. Connective tissues weaken, estrogen will increase and the body of the stronger sex, too, can be covered with "orange peel".
2. Cellulite - it is only those who are overweight
Not. He sometimes even professional athletes with a good figure. Extra kilos - only one of the factors that affect the appearance of cellulite. However, this factor - not the only and decisive.
3. Get rid of cellulite can only be actively moving: running, jumping, moving on foot
All this, of course, useful, but not for getting rid of "orange peel". The real helpers in the fight against cellulite, as studies show, can become stretching exercises and strength training.
4. It helps to remove cellulite diet
This is only partly true. But we should not just lose weight, you must radically reduce the amount of salt intake, including hidden. And even this problem is not completely solved. After the appearance of cellulite affected by many factors, including and:
- pose in which you most often sit;
- tight clothing;
- Riding and driving (frequent);
- hormones and so on.
5. "Orange peel" is formed only below the belt
And here and there. Cellulite commonly affects the arms and abdomen. And at these places it much more noticeable.
6. Cellulite provoke toxins
Alas, not provoke. It occurs through the fault of weakened connective tissue. And this happens or under the influence of hormones or due to impaired circulation. Also contribute to the formation of cellulite and a high percentage of fat, on the contrary, low muscle tone.
7. Cellulite appears always and everywhere the same
No, "orange peel" can be seen a few degrees of severity. Cellulite is almost invisible, and can "bulge" literally bumps.
8. Cellulite is harmful to health
Yes, no way!
9. Cellulite - the lot of the elderly and aging people
There are people who, having lived to a ripe old age, do not know know what is cellulite. And there are 14-year-old girls (and boys, by the way), whose body is covered by "orange peel". So the age of cellulite in no way connected.
10. On the appearance of "orange peel" effect of caffeine
Well, looks like. If the direction of redemption, then yes, because caffeine significantly improves lymphatic drainage. No wonder coffee in one form or another is added to almost all anti-cellulite cosmetics.
