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.
