What causes cellulite?

You're probably aware that your skin can experience many unpleasant effects throughout your life, especially when you're a woman. Dermatitis, brown spots, itching, allergies, and sunburn can all disrupt its integrity. Dermatologists are well aware of how fragile skin can sometimes be. For women, the problem also arises in terms of skin aesthetics.

Apart from the skin problems The most common, the question of aesthetics also arises for women. For them, this criterion turns out to be of primary importance after their health. The cosmetics market continues to interest an increasing number of women who want to take care of their skin. The number of cosmetic brands and creams today is innumerable. The cosmetics market, along with that of food supplements, is one of the rare sectors to still show double-digit growth every year. But in terms of aesthetics, some skin problems are sometimes more serious than others. Here, we are obviously talking about cellulite...

Cellulite is a skin problem that affects a large number of women

Naturally, many women, but very few men, are concerned about the problem of cellulite. Sometimes called orange peel skin or dimpling, this skin tissue disorder is caused by a structural change in the adipose tissue present under the layer of the epidermis. The dermis then takes on the appearance of a succession of small unsightly bumps. Generally, cellulite is found on the buttocks and the back of the thighs. However, for medicine, it is generally a normal physiological disorder, without serious consequences for health. Statistically, approximately 9 out of 10 women are affected. This shows the extent to which it is a major aesthetic disorder among women.

A skin problem caused by several symptoms and structural changes in the tissues of the epidermis

The causes of cellulite are numerous and never unique. While there is still some uncertainty about its origin, several hypotheses have been put forward to try to explain the phenomenon. Inflammation and its increase with age could be involved. Heredity could also be a factor for or against cellulite. Women's androgen hormones (estrogen and prolactin) are also thought to be involved. However, a sedentary lifestyle and weight gain would naturally be considered factors that promote the appearance and development of cellulite. Its most visible manifestations involve a progressive modification of surface fat. The superficial fat cells of the skin increase in number and volume while the water retention also increases. The consequences of these structural changes in the skin then become visible, generating the dimpling effect so feared by women.

Is cellulite harmless to women's health?

The problem posed by cellulite is primarily aesthetic. However, this type of skin and epidermal disorder can manifest itself physically in certain cases. A minority of them could create pain by increasing density. The increase in the volume and density of cellulite could then increase the pressure on deep nerve endings and make the area hypersensitive.

The circulation of lymphatic fluid may also be impaired. A feeling of heaviness and constriction of the skin tissues may then be felt in the areas affected by cellulite. In this case, the problem must be taken more seriously. However, Is cellulite inevitable? in women? However, would it be possible to avoid or reduce cellulite and its consequences?

Is it possible to reduce the risk of cellulite?

Naturally, it is always possible to reduce the risk of cellulite in women. First of all, it's about monitoring your diet. Following a healthy diet helps reduce weight gain and the risk of cellulite. Start by eating enough, without unnecessary excess calories. Fiber intake should also be encouraged. A sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical exercise significantly contribute to the development of cellulite. In addition to diet, regular exercise helps reduce the severity of cellulite. The venous return exerted by the leg muscles contributes to good blood circulation to the heart, reducing the risk of cellulite. Practicing an endurance or resistance sport with good thigh work is therefore highly recommended. Rest assured that a sedentary lifestyle and a very average lifestyle will only accentuate this skin problem over time.

Is it also possible to reduce cellulite with suitable dietary supplements?

At YAM Nutrition, we take this aesthetic disorder of the female dermis very seriously. This led us to think about developing a dietary supplement specifically dedicated to this health problem. We created Lipolys , a nutraceutical developed to help women naturally fight cellulite. Lipolys is a formula nutracosmetics which contains several antioxidants involved in the health of veins and connective tissues. Two major antioxidants have been associated with this purpose. These are OPC extracted from grape seeds (oligo-proanthocyanidins ) and hesperidin methylchalcone. Both are scientifically recognized for having a beneficial effect on blood microcirculation at the level of skin capillaries.

Hesperidin methylchalcone promotes blood flow in blood vessels

Hesperidin is a molecule that promotes good oxygenation and hydration of skin tissues, dermis and epidermis. OPCs from grape or pine seeds have the function of binding to collagen proteins by improving the structure and integrity of connective tissues. These properties naturally promote skin health. We have also combined it with quercetin and coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone to create an optimal synergistic effect. If you feel bothered by the unsightly effects of cellulite, Lipolys from YAM Nutrition offers you a completely natural nutritional solution to help you gradually reduce its development, without artificial chemicals. Frankly speaking, Lipolys is certainly one of our best nutraceutical skincare formulas. In addition, collagen will remain, again and again, the protein of excellence to nourish and strengthen your skin on a daily basis. In powder or capsules, it can be taken in addition to Liupolys or Skin Nutritive…
