Myths about Cellulite
Cellulite is surrounded by myths.
There are many misleading
"facts" about cellulite that have led women to desperately try
to get rid of or avoid getting cellulite only to end up with it
gracing their back sides. Weeding through the myths and spelling
out the facts is important. This way people can really know the
whole truth about cellulite.
1. A myth that, at the time, seemed almost believable is that
soda pop causes cellulite. The theory was that the sodium in
soda pop caused fat cells to swell thus producing cellulite.
This is not true. Cellulite is fat cells, but they have become
deformed and trapped close to the skin in connective tissue.
2. Another often accepted myth is that cellulite only happens
to those over 40 years old. While cellulite may be more
apparent in older people because the skin thins out as we age,
it can occur at any age.
3. Cellulite is often misunderstood, so it isn't surprising
that many people believe the myth that cellulite can only occur
on the thighs and buttocks. While this is the most common area
for cellulite to occur, it can also appear on the arm, neck and
stomach.
4. Perhaps one of the most common myths is that only over
weight people get cellulite. This myth, when debunked, can be
devastating to those who are not over weight. Unfortunately
everyone has fat cells, even skinny people so they too are
subject to cellulite.
5. A myth related to getting rid of cellulite is that dieting
and exercise are good ways to get rid of cellulite. This is
untrue because of the make up of cellulite. It is unlike other
fat that through dieting and exercise can be burned by a
person's metabolism. Cellulite is trapped in the connective
tissue and is unaffected by metabolism.
These five myths are most often associated with cellulite. Some
of these myths have even been used to sell products that say
they will prevent or cure cellulite. Knowing the difference
between myths and facts can help people deal better with
cellulite.
