The enemies of women: cellulite

Cellulite ... arch enemy many of us! All we can recognize the presence of this imperfection, a little less know how to prevent and deal with it mainly because of a big misinformation about it. Let us, therefore, to know more about our enemy!

WHAT '?

Cellulite indicates an altered subcutaneous tissue that is rich in cells fat. It is located under the skin and is characterized by hypertrophy of fat cells, where intercellular spaces, accumulate excess fluids.

System balance venous and lymphatic is modified by a slowing of blood flow and fluid retention by the tissues.

Cellulite can be divided into three stages of growth:

- edema: creates an edema that is an accumulation of fluid and is present in adipose tissue especially around the ankles, calves, thighs and arms.

- Fibrous: form a ie an increase of fibrous connective tissue that hardens as fat. It is characterized by small nodules and the skin to peel ' orange .

- sclerotic: sclerosis form which makes the fabric hard and come in large lumps. Very sad.

CAUSES

The appearance of cellulite depends on several factors that often are added together. A ome of them are safe and are therefore defined primary . Those defined secondary instead are connected at certain stages of life, in particular diseases or taking drugs while the so-called aggravating factors could be controlled by adopting a different lifestyle.

• primary factors: the the fact that women and white are unfavorable evidence. The Mediterranean woman, in fact, is usually characterized by a conformation "pear" which prevails in the action of female hormones (estrogen), resulting in accumulation of excess kilograms on the lower body , water retention and stasis circulation. No coincidence that the problem begins in adolescence, a time when there is a true hormonal storm that marks the passage from childhood to adulthood. The family component
  is relevant given that some disorders of the microcirculation are often passed between blood relatives and that the venous and lymphatic insufficiency, with capillary fragility, are the prelude of cellulite.
• Afterthought: is well known that the cutaneous manifestations of cellulite are strongly linked to female cycle. appearance to "orange peel" increases in the period before the cycle, especially in cases of pre-menstrual syndrome, and pregnancy, when estrogen level rises with positive and negative effects: it increases the appetite, improves mood, fluid accumulates in the tissues and the product of conception pressed on the vascular structures circulatory aggravating the situation.
  cellulite usually decreases after menopause without hormone replacement treatment.
• Aggravating factors: a muscles of poor quality, both for physical inactivity is a result of an excessively rapid weight loss that has sacrificed the muscle tissue is certainly one of the factors which contribute to cellulite.
  Even a poor diet , with the introduction of excessive calories, eating foods high in fat and salt , promotes accumulation of localized fat, fluid retention, "poisoning" the general organization and training of the hated bearings. A bad posture
  aggravates the clinical picture: spend many hours sitting in traffic slows because the chair compresses the vessels and the situation gets worse if you keep your legs crossed. It does not good to spend too much time standing buildings because the blood is hard to climb from the lower limbs resulting in stasis circulation. The defects of the plantar (foot flat foot cable , etc ...) are another possible cause of poor posture, and can support the processes that lead to the formation of cellulite.
  You must also avoid the ' constrictive clothing. not forget that clothes and linen tight squeeze while the vessels heeled shoes that are too tight or very high, impeding the venous and lymphatic return and prevent the proper functioning of the very important "venous pump" that we have under our feet.
  Stress and smoking are other factors which contribute to the worsening situation, a framework for the inevitable impact on the hormonal (an increase of so-called "Stress hormones"), the other for its vasoconstrictor and its ability to increase free radicals, which support the damage to the microcirculation and accelerate the aging process of the general body.
  

REMEDIES

illusion that the cellulite will disappear by itself or it can be eradicated simply by dieting and much physical activity is an illusion not to be trusted: the cell is not a mere imperfection but a "disease" of connective tissue due to a malfunction of the microcirculation. The battle must be fought on many fronts and with much effort, there takes a comprehensive approach consisting of diet, physical activity and localized treatment.

Diet

First, prevention begins at the table and any treatment is intended to give poor results if you do not review their eating habits. A balanced diet and adequate causes heaviness, swelling of the legs and cellulite can be prevented and treated. Constipation and water retention are, in fact, two typical signs of a feeding disorder. It 'should guide the eating habits towards a detox regime, balanced, easily digestible and, if necessary, low-calorie. In choosing food to be consumed in the diet must be careful to those facilitating the accumulation and swelling tissues such as sodium that holds liquids which hinder the movement : give up a little 'salt does not necessarily mean doing away with the taste because it can very well be replaced by spices and aromas from the kitchen!
be taken seriously into account is the daily intake of water ... it is always advisable to eat a lot! A liter and a half is the minimum amount to be taken every day to ensure good urine output and optimal elimination of toxic substances and waste. From
banish the excessive consumption of foods that fatigue preventing the liver to perform its action "purifying" as, for example, coffee, chocolate, alcohol and fried food. Preferable, however, foods high in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin E and potassium, sodium helps combat. Bioflavonoids then, which are rich in berries, are real allies for a good microcirculation.

Exercise

not only on the table is to prevent heaviness, discomfort and unsightly legs. For them agile and also has beautiful movement and choice of exercise!
Sport serves not only to have a physical dry but also helps to tone the muscles and stimulate circulation. The most useful exercise is to aerobic oxygenation of the tissues that stimulates and mobilizes fat stores. At least half an hour of exercise a day is the ideal time to achieve concrete results and stay in shape. Go ahead and then swimming, bike rides to (or bike in the absence of the possibility of riding in the open air), jogging, long walks , the free exercises and athletics light.

localized treatment

• home treatments :
  creams, gels, sprays, pills, miracle, or other devices ... remedies do-it-now you do not count anymore! But these products really are? Since cellulite is a true connective tissue disease, the only thing to do is deal with it on several fronts and a good self-massage with products or carry out drainage and lipolytic vasoprotective, can certainly help to improve the beauty without having to remove the presumption of imperfection at source. Preferred products made of caffeine, extract of pine or sunflower whose function is precisely to stimulate the circulation and activate the disposal of fats.

• treatment in an institution :
  Seek qualified beautician's hands to fight the bearing means, primarily, to want to pamper yourself a bit 'and give you moments of true and pure relaxation. Naturally, in this case do not expect miracles, and remember that in cases of cellulitis of advanced beauty treatments are only a support to other treatments that act more in depth. The beauty massage
  based on manipulation and friction, is used to drain excess fluid and helps eliminate puffiness and heaviness in the legs. It 's a great relaxing which helps to reduce some disorders of the body caused by stress and anxiety that contribute indirectly to the appearance of cellulite. The lymphatic drainage
  serves to reactivate the lymphatic system, responsible for the disposal of toxins in the body. It is based on manipulations that have the task to convey the sap from the lower limbs to the trunk, where there is the final outlet.
  If this is not done manually, but mechanically, it is called presso where the hands of a skilled professional is replaced by a machine. He realizes, in fact, incorporating the arts in special leggings that inflate and deflate rhythmically, press and release the affected area resulting in a draining and reactivating blood flow. Essential before undergoing this treatment, consult a physician rule out any underlying conditions that may contra as varicose disease, kidney failures and heart problems.
  L ' electrostimulation is usually included in the "slimming packages" offered by the beauty centers, each of which uses different equipment for each use and principle of action. It helps to tone and harden the tissues as a passive exercise that, if this is impossible in practice a constant physical activity, may represent a modest alternative. Of course it can not fully replace active movement that also provides many other benefits!

• Medical treatment:
  S honorary doctor of all the responsibility of those methods involving the infiltration of substances under the skin to draining and / or reducing. The mesotherapy
  is based on the injection of drugs in the areas concerned, often homeopathic. Drugs are lipolytic, draining and vasoprotective, depending on the problem. After the treatment is normal for the treated area for a little 'bloated and small bruises fade within a few days. In this regard, it should not be exposed to the sun in the days immediately following the treatment to prevent the worsening of these phenomena. The
  ultrasound waves are high frequency sound, inaudible to human ears and are used for some time in the medical field for their ability to produce heat. The frequency of ultrasound used to fight cellulite (3 MHz) is such as to allow penetration to a depth of 2-3 cm where they cause a movement of stagnant liquids and break the fat cells.
  exploits, however, an electrical current of low frequency 's electrolipolysis , car in the subcutaneous tissue through the application of pairs of thin needles and creating a network of magnetic fields are able to mobilize the fat stores.
  A mixture of oxygen and ozone is injected under the skin using microinjections at the base of oxygen-ozone therapy . The cocktail of these two gases has lipolytic effect and draining, with a reduction of the circles and revitalization of the surrounding tissues. It 's a very natural way, without the use of pharmacological substances and that usually has no side effects and does not give with food allergies. It will always be a doctor, however, to assess the extent of the problem and decide whether and how to intervene.
  There are other methods, more or less effective, such as is necessary to recall the ' acupuncture, iontophoresis the and cryoelectrophoresis.

• Surgical treatment
  If you have tried everything and the situation is really serious with major problems affecting the circulation and tissues, you can go to a surgeon . The liposuction is performed by sucking the fat between the skin and the layer muscle. Even if surgery is usually performed in an outpatient setting, it is crucial the choice of an appropriate structure that is capable, in case of complications, postoperative hospital stay and necessary action. The surgeon will first visit the patient ensuring that it is in a state of optimal health, we inform you about its habits of life, shall perform specific blood tests, urine tests and an electrocardiogram. Only if everything was appropriate, then proceed to the intervention.
  As for the failed "aesthetics" of treatment, a good surgeon will carefully assess the elasticity of the skin because, after being emptied from fat, must be able to resume the original contour without failure or loosening. With superficial liposculpture
  proceed in a manner similar to that for the liposuction acting, however, more to the surface and that is just below the dermis.
  exploits, however, the action of ultrasound to break up the fat cells ultrasonic liposculpture, less traumatic and less invasive technique.
  If the treatment area is very limited you may use the microliposuzione , suitable for small localized fat deposits such as cheeks, double chin, ankles and knees. E ' useful for reducing the localized bearing Laserlipolysis interstitial , relatively new technique where the light emitted by the laser generates heat that alters the membrane of fat cells to cause destruction. The intermittency of laser light and its short-range mean that the surrounding tissues are not damaged in any way. The post-intervention is a little annoying: it will stretch tights or a containment sheath for a few days, after which the patient can return to its usual activities. The results, however, are not comparable to those of the alternatives described above.
  

Now that we are a little more informed and aware of what can cause and aggravate this problem, we should adopt healthier habits and balanced, and specific measures ... in this way will benefit not only our physical appearance but, more importantly, our body for a general feeling of wellbeing!
