Excess Fat | Cellulite

There can be many reasons for Excess Fat and Cellulite

Stress is a major one since cortisol and adrenaline hormones fill the body with energy during periods of stress and in the process fuel your appetite and cravings for fat-rich foods. As a result of feeding these cravings, fat deposition is often seen more in the belly, since it’s close to the liver and therefore readily available to convert into energy

Genetics can play a role in determining where you gain weight – generally speaking, we tend to inherit the same pattern of fat storage as our relatives.

Our Metabolism begins to slow down with age, this in turn means it is easier to gain weight.

When women reach the menopause, the decline in oestrogen can sometimes lead to excess belly fat where there wasn’t any before.

The most common cause of excess fat is poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. By not burning off the calories we ingest over a sustained period, we gain weight, and in doing so, put our general health at risk.

Cellulite

So what is Cellulite? As fat cells increase, they push up against the skin. Tough, long connective cords pull down. This creates an uneven surface or dimpling. Cellulite is a very common, harmless skin condition that causes lumpy, dimpled flesh on the thighs, hips, buttocks and abdomen.

Cellulite cannot be eliminated but it can be reduced through a combination of exercise, diet and treatments.
