Q: What is cellulite? Is it preventable, or is it all in the genes like stretch marks? I've just noticed maybe a tiny weeny bit of what I think MAY be cellulite, on my thigh. I'm not sure though, I'm 18 and I've never really understood what it is. Is there anything I can do to prevent more forming?
A: Here's an article that explains what exactly cellulite is:
It's easiest to explain if you compare cellulite to fat.
> Regular fat provides protection to the organs and muscles, and insulates the body. Cellulite has no positive use.
> Regular fat, when squeezed, is smooth in texture. Cellulite appears to have ridges, lumps and irregularities, when squeezed.
> Regular fat could occur anywhere on the body. Cellulite appears only in some parts of the body such as the thighs, arms, buttocks and breasts.
> Regular fat can be accessed by the body as an energy source, while cellulite cannot be used as an energy source.
Also, the causes of cellulite are:
- poor nutrition
- physical inactivity
- genetics
- stress
- bad circulation
- hormones
