CELLULITE: FACT AND FICTION
CELLULITE: FACT AND FICTION
‘Doctor’s Report on Cellulite’
An age old problem still haunts women today. Year, after year, new gimmicks are introduced to get rid of cellulite. There were the salt solutions, hot oils, herbal solutions, clay wraps, seaweed wraps, and today, the thigh creams.
Research shows that thigh creams such as Revitol Cellulite Solution is an ideal solution to the cellulite problem.
It was found that cellulite formation has its basis in the structure of the subcutaneous fatty layer that is unique to females. They found that in women, the uppermost layer of
subcutaneous tissue consists of what they called "standing fat-cell chambers," which are separated by vertical walls of connective tissue. At the top of these upright
fat cells, arc-shaped domes are formed which are weak and more prone to fold and buckle under the pressures of excess weight, water retention, or a sedentary lifestyle.
This, in turn, causes smaller compartments of fat cells (papillae adiposae) to then break up and cluster tightly just under the skin. This combination creates the change of appearance in
the skin’s surface that we know as cellulite.
According to a study done also in the late 1970's, a cause of the rippling effect of cellulite is fluid retention in adipose (fatty) tissues. The researchers observed clear signs of fluid invasion in the connective fibers of the upper layers of the skin. The retained fluids cause visible swelling of thighs, hips and abdomen, etc., but even worse, the toxic wastes they contain break down the all-important collagen and elastin fibers that keep the skin firm and smooth.
While they found that the direct cause of cellulite is the breakdown of the connective fibers, they determined that the biggest reason for this breakdown was poor blood circulation. How-ever, toxic accumulation and fluid retention are a major contributing factor in the formation of cellulite.
Loss of blood flow to an area, whether from the lack of exercise, excessive sitting, clogged arteries, or nutrient deficiency, can have a disastrous impact on cellulite formation. According to cellulite experts, cellulite generally chooses areas with poor circulation, to start with, which in turn slows circulation even more. The amount of damage that inhibited blood flow can do in fragile connective tissues cannot be calculated, but every system of the body is adversely affected when circulation is reduced or blocked.
In addition, valuable reconstructive materials like vitamin E, the fatty acids, selenium, and vitamin C are prevented from doing their normal repair job. As a result, the
sagging, rippled cellulite can affect even slim women in good physical condition.
