Exercise & Cellulite :
Exercise
is still the best method of eliminating or removing cellulites: Most people
tend to think that cellulites are only present to people who are obese. That is
why they sometimes associate cellulite with fats and obesity.
Surgery is not an option for most women. It is true
that surgical procedures in removing cellulites are very effective but it comes
with more risks as compared to exercise.
Actually, even if cellulite refers to the chain of
wrinkled “fat cells” and “subcutaneous connective tissues” beneath the layer of
the skin, it should never be associated with people who are fat or obese. In
fact, there are many people who have cellulite but are not fat at all.
In reality, nobody knows the main reason why some people accumulate cellulite. However, there are some factors that health experts are considering such as the structure of the fat cells or the poison that entered the body. Some experts say it may be caused by some hormonal changes in the body. But none of these things has been proven to cause cellulites.
However, the only main reason why most of the
cellulite cases are abundant in women is that the connective tissues of women
are more rigid and firm than men. Hence, whenever a woman gets fat, the fatty
cells tend to swell and get bigger. It creates a protruding appearance to the
skin producing an “orange peel” look.For this reason, women are more prone to cellulite
than men. That is why it is important for women to be more careful on their
body as they have higher chances of accumulating cellulite.
Fats and Cellulite
With the many cases of obese people having
cellulites in their body, most of them believed that their cellulites are
caused by being too fat.
Even though not all those who are obese develop
cellulites, being overweight can really trigger the development of cellulites.
This is because too much fat under the skin tend to push the connective tissue
creating a strain on the skin. Thus, cellulites form.
However, this is still dependent on the structure of
the cells. If an individual’s cell structure does not inhibit the tendency to
bulge or expand even if fat deposits accumulate, then there will be no
cellulites.
So, the most important thing to remember here is to
keep those connective tissues firm and strong and avoid accumulating excess
fats so as to avoid the development of cellulite.
How? Start an exercise routine program.
Transforming food into fat seems all too easy for
most of us. Losing fat is far more difficult, and to accomplish this, we have
only three alternatives:
(1) decrease food intake and keep activity constant;
(2) increase activity and keep food intake constant; or
(3) combine both
approaches: diet and exercise.
Physical activity can help reverse the results of
inactivity. An hour of vigorous exercise burns up 300 to 600 calories. If you
also cut 300 to 500 calories from your daily menu, you can also lose weight at
the rate of one to two pounds a week.
Without exercise, you would have to eat 500 to 1,000
fewer calories a day to lose the same number of pounds in a week. Exercise is
not for everyone who is over-fat, however. The severely obese person should
exercise only under medical supervision to prevent strain on the cardiovascular
system and connective tissue. And no one should restrict food intake
drastically without consulting doctor.
Resorting to this kind of activity will only get the
matter worse. Remember what happened to Mike? He thought that when he started
dieting, he would eventually lose all the excess fats he has accumulated. The
problem is that he lost those connective tissues rather than excess fat.
For people who are prone to cellulites, this will be
a greater problem. Losing connective tissues instead of fat by strict dieting
can only make the skin more prone to greater problems but the fat cells are
still there. That only means that the problem is not solved at all.
Hence, if you wish to loose those cellulites, it
would be better to loose those fats first. The idea here is to burn those fats
by increasing your metabolism by 7.5% to 28% more than your normal rate.
It is for this reason that exercising is an
important factor in losing cellulite. So for a more cellulite free body, always
engage in an exercise routine.
