CELLULITE, what is it really and how to try to avoid it .
The adipose tissue, ie the place fat under the skin , It represents an active energy reserve, linked to individual metabolism, scientifically defined caloric balance: if we eat less and we'll move more (increased physical activity or less calorie intake with food) reserve fat decreases (lipolisi);
If we do the opposite, (less physical activity or excessive calorie intake with food) It increases the deposit of fat (liposintesi).
Like all tissues, Also the adipose tissue has a supporting scaffold (the mesh fabric and collagen) and a vascularization, called microcirculation.
hormonal and vascular abnormalities, associated with a sedentary lifestyle, from improper nutrition , irregularities of the intestinal and water retention function, Causes which interfere negatively on adipose tissue and in particular on the microcirculation.
In these cases, the fat cells are broken; their content, triglycerides, It diffuses into the interstitial space, (between cells) compressing the microcirculation and prevent proper operation.
The persistence over time of these anatomical and metabolic changes, It produces the development of further alteration of the adipose tissue (lipodistrofia); modifications that produce both an increase in volume and consistency of the supporting tissue with all the signs well known to all women and not physical solo.L'attività paid to the prevention and treatment of cellulite is in many ways similar to that proposed for obese subjects.
WHAT TO DO?
Regular Physical Exercise
Healthy and balanced diet
TO WALK, DO NOT RUSH: the repeated impacts with the ground caused by the action of a stroke “soft” as well as having negative effects on the joints and spine, microlacerations cause of the membranes of fat cells in the long run may make the situation worse. In addition to, physical activity carried out to intensity too high leads to the formation of lactic acid.
This metabolite is an ally of cellulite, since the formation of muscle toxins has negative effects on circulation and oxygenation of the tissues. For this reason, for example, two hours of spinning per week carried out with high intensity are not only unnecessary but even counterproductive.
Keep sitting on the seat for an hour hinders the movement of the buttocks, one of the areas of the body most affected by cellulite; in addition to, the high intensity of exercise leads to the accumulation of lactic acid with all the negative consequences just seen.
Better therefore play durable but light activity such as brisk walking or step. The benefits of this training program are varied: regular physical activity (at least 30-40 minutes a day) It leads to a general improvement in the cardiovascular and respiratory capacity favoring the peripheral circulation.
This way you can defeat the poor circulation that is the biggest risk factor for the development of cellulite.
To be defined regular physical activity must be held for at least three days a week.
At Last, It can be useful to follow a general toning program that includes the use of life-bearing exercises, isotonic equipment or free weights depending on the experience and preferences of the subject. Even in these cases it is important not to overdo it, using light weights for fewer reps, albeit high, not overly overdrive muscle.
At the end of the session Stretching combined with breathing control exercises performed with legs slightly raised, It favors the venous return and the elimination of toxins produced.
To combat cellulite is fundamental to associate a program of regular physical activity an equally adequate diet. Follow a diet rich in vegetables and fiber, consume at least 3 meals a day, drink at least a liter and a half of water, avoid foods high in fat, alcohol and even excessive consumption of coffee (over 2-3 per day). It is also important to try to eliminate salt from the diet as the one present in foods is enough to cover the daily requirements.
Water consumption It is very important because it allows the optimal elimination of toxic substances and waste, drink a lot and do not forget to bring a bottle of water with you always, especially when you go to the gym. And’ We recommend the purchase of poor water sodium to promote diuresis.
FIRST OF ALL THE REST: It is very important to sleep for at least 8 hours a day and try to reduce stress as much as possible. Of fundamental importance is the mental approach with which you start the food and sports program, “serenity and motivation” first of all. It seemed interesting this article I summarized and made simpler and easier. Do not smoke!
