More on Cellulite Myths
Some myths a quite believable and others very far out. A very far out myth is that soda pop causes cellulite. The theory was that the sodium in soda pop caused fat cells to swell thus producing cellulite. The myth is false. Fat cells become trapped and deformed due to connective tissue not because of soda pop.
Another often accepted myth is that cellulite only happens to those over 40 years old. While cellulite may be more prominent in older people because the skin thins out as we age, it can occur at any age.
Continuing with the misbeliefs surrounding cellulite some people believe that it only occurs on the thighs and buttocks. This is the most common area for cellulite to occur, however it can also appear on the arm, neck and stomach.
Perhaps one of the more common myths is that only overweight people get cellulite. Everyone has fat cells even skinny people so everyone can get fat cells. The fittest athlete around can develop cellulite. But the less fat you have the less likely it will spill over that web of fibrous bands, so by all means, exercise away to burn fat and increase muscle.
Many people also believe only women get cellulite but some men do get cellulite, and industry data show that at least 6,000 American males sought treatment for it last year. Research suggests that lower levels of the androgen hormone explain this. Still, much less men get the ugly dimples, mainly due to the male connective tissue lies in a firmer crisscross pattern than the female connective-tissue matrix.
Consuming more water will reduce cellulite is another myth. In fact, the idea that drinking more water will help any skin condition is erroneous unless you're truly medically dehydrated. Drinking water doesn't eliminate cellulite causing toxins either. Overhydration in fact can increase the appearance of cellulite.
Another myth is that cellulite is removed by liposuction. Because tight bands of fibrous tissue cause cellulite, extracting the fat layer that resides just under the skin may actually worsen that dimpled look.
The last myth is that a healthy diet will prevent cellulite. A good diet is always a good idea but it won't prevent or cure your cellulite. But junk food that makes you prone to gaining weight can make you also prone to getting dimples. And also beware of all those so-called anti-cellulite supplements as there's no proof that they're effective.
