Myths About Cellulite
There are many myths about cellulite. Women have used erroneous “facts” to try to rid their body of cellulite and avoid getting it, but, unfortunately, it often ends up on their back sides anyway. It is important to separate the myths from the facts. That is the only way to fully understand cellulite.
1. There’s a myth going around that cellulite can be caused by soda. According to myth, soda contained sodium levels that made your fat cells swell, cellulite following right after it. There’s no basis in fact for this. It’s true that cellulite is made up of fat cells; but they’re there because they’re trapped in the connectiv tissue of the skin.
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.
Myth 3: You only get cellulite on the buttocks and thighs. These areas of the body are more prone to having cellulite, but it can also be found on one’s stomach, neck, and arms.
Myth 4: Only overweight people have cellulite. Finding out that this myth is untrue can shatter the self esteem of people who do not have excess weight. Even thin people can get cellulite since all of us have fat cells.
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.
