Learn The Basics of Cellulite - Common Causes of Cellulite by ashu

In the past cellulite has been widely interpreted as a fat disorder. However, recent medical research has discovered that it is in fact primarily a disease of the circulatory system that deforms the connective tissue. Read more about this in the instruction manual, "How to Get Rid of Cellulite".

During the onset of puberty the body begins to produce hormones, including female ones that are responsible for formation of adipose tissue and may damage circulation and drainage in the tissues under the skin.

However, abnormal changes in tissues can be avoided if hormonal disorders are taken care of on the early stages. The young bodies can defend themselves better; and such disorders in teens are caused mostly by changes in metabolic process and thus are of temporary nature.

Some of the causes for developing cellulite are:

* Heredity
* Insufficient water intake. Water helps the waste system operate, flushing toxins from your body. Drink 7 glasses of water a day.
* Diet. Poor eating habits including alcohol, caffeine and spicy foods contribute to the formation of cellulite because the toxins they produce get trapped in the fatty tissue.
* Smoking, it is not only bad for the skin and lungs, but it weakens the skin by causing constriction of capillaries. It further damages the connective tissue that causes the dimpling effect of cellulite, too.
*Obesity - Although thin people are not immune, obese people are more prone to getting cellulite, which is a form of fat after all. In an overweight body, fat accumulation also pushes the cellulite in the subcutaneous layer outward and worsens the appearance of cellulite.
* Crash diets - Crash diets increase the risk of cellulite because the body thinks it's starving. It attempts to consume saturated fats which help build cellulite. Unfortunately, these fats block the arteries and get trapped in tissues as well, preventing sufficient waste and toxin elimination.

Although there are many causes of cellulite, there are also many products and techniques that help reduce the appearance of cellulite

A number of factors can cause cellulite, however, the main causes are hereditary factors and unhealthy lifestyle. Hereditary factor cannot be denied since there are too many examples of this abound.
