The Ugly Truth- Is Cellulite A Sign Of An Unhealthy Body?

The Ugly Truth - Is Cellulite a sign Of an Unhealthy Body?

I remember during my time battling with cellulite I use to ask myself did having cellulite mean I was unhealthy?  What I found out was interesting and I would like to share with you.

Let’s jump right into it.

Cellulite is fat that has received a bad reputation but it is not a sign of an unhealthy body. There are many misconceptions about cellulite. Like cellulite is caused by poor circulation and drainage in the body and that cellulite is fat that has been damaged.

All this is just confusing and makes women and even men hate their bodies. This video aims to keep things simple, so you can walk away with a good understanding about cellulite.

Cellulite is fat. That’s it. Fat that is stored in a unique way that results in its dimpled and not so pleasant appearance. That’s it. Just like all fat in your body, it can be burnt off and you can reduce the amount of cellulite in your body.

Women with thinner skin will show more signs of cellulite since the fats will be more visible beneath the skin. Some women are also more predisposed to gaining fat. That does not mean they are unhealthy. Just like any fat gain, they’re consuming more calories than they are expending. Reversing this state will result in fat loss and the reduction of cellulite.

Cellulite looks different from normal fat because of the structure of the tissues that connect the skin to the underlying muscles. These bands are perpendicular in women and have pockets of fat storage. Once these pockets are filled and continue to fill up with fat, the excess fat starts pushing upwards and is visible because the skin is thin. Yet, it is just fat.

Cellulite is caused by toxin buildup. Fat in the body tends to bind toxins so that you do not become sick. However, toxins do not cause cellulite. Fat buildup does. Eliminate the fats and you eliminate the cellulite.

Another assumption is that only overweight women have cellulite. Many slim women have cellulite too. So, if fat causes cellulite to appear, why do these women have cellulite?

It is not a matter of weight but your body fat percentage. Many women are slim, yet they have low muscle mass and a high percentage of body fat.  That fat is going to spill out of the spaces between your tissues and pop out as cellulite.

Cellulite is not a sign of poor health. If you eat a sensible diet and exercise regularly, you’ll do more to banish cellulite.

Your health is affected by having fatty internal organs, poor stamina and other problems caused by a lack of exercise and a diet that is not wholesome. Cellulite is a symptom of an underlying problem. It is not the issue itself. Maintain discipline with your diet and exercise and the cellulite will slowly but surely disappear and become less visible.
