How to Get Rid of Cellulite? You Won’t Like the Answer

If you look through today's media, it would seem that today's women are obsessed with how to get rid of cellulite. A couple of hundred years ago, women were obsessed with having their skin look alabaster white (it meant you were rich). Who knows what will obsess women's fashion in the next century? Perhaps it will be mixing confetti in with eyebrow dandruff. But for now, the question is how to get rid of cellulite.

Know Your Enemy

If you are a man with cellulite, you are not normal. Something is very wrong with your reproductive organs (your fertility, not necessarily your virility). Go see your doctor. Cellulite may be the least of your problems, but it is a gentle and painless warning sign about other conditions.

If you are a woman with cellulite, take a deep breath and know that you are normal. Cellulite appears to some extent in almost all living women after they've hit puberty. You can be slightly underweight and still get cellulite. It seems to be small fat deposits right under the skin, which give it the dimpling or cottage cheese effect.

No one actually knows why we get cellulite or how it is formed. The most widely held theory is that estrogen plays a major factor. And we don’t know how to get rid of cellulite completely from a person's body. But we do know how to reduce it or how to at least tone it down a little.

What To Do

You should exercise regularly, eat sensibly and learn how to handle your stress. Drink plenty of water or clear liquids, stop smoking, quit drinking and have a good laugh at least once a day, if your can. If you have darker skin, that will help hide the cellulite. You can try cellulite reduction creams, but only for eight weeks. If you don’t see any improvement by then, you're not going to.

How to get rid of cellulite completely? No one knows. Even laser treatments will not work if you smoke, drink and sit on the couch all day. Even when you are healthy, you will need a series of laser treatments before getting any lasting results. Laser treatments are often combined with liposuction and are very expensive.

Although no one knows how to get rid of cellulite completely, by keeping a healthy diet, exercise and stress management routine, you'll not only reduce cellulite by many other health problems as well.
