The Healthy Temple

Cellulite is one of the biggest problems that for majority of women are facing and they’ve been fighting hard to get rid of cellulite for many years. Almost 90% of women in America and Europe suffer from the dreaded “cottage cheese” syndrome or the “orange peel skin”. Diet has been shown to affect the development and amount of cellulite. Excessive amounts of fat, carbohydrates, salt, alcohol or too little fiber can all contribute to an increased cellulite. Smoking, lack of exercise, tight clothes, high heeled shoes, and sitting or standing in a single position of long periods have all been correlated with an increase in cellulite.

Several factors influence whether a person has cellulite and how much they have. Your genes, your gender, the amount of fat on your body, your age, and the thickness of your skin are all associated with the amount of cellulite you have or how visible it is.
