What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is the presence of “orange peel” skin or what is called the “mattress” phenomenon, which is characterized by flattish protrusions and depressions of the skin. I don’t really need to tell you, though. You know. It’s that lumpy stuff that commonly appears on the thighs and buttocks, indicating the adipose (fat cell) tissue has undergone degenerative changes.

 

Detox Is An Important Part of Curing Cellulite
As we age, the layer just below the dermis (corium layer) becomes thinner and looser, allowing more fat cells to migrate into the dermal layer (true skin). The connective tissue walls between fat cells become thinner, allowing the fat cells to enlarge. Toxins build up over time in the dermal layer, which is related to decreased lymphatic drainage, and consequently, waste and water collect around the fat cells. In short, is a pocket of toxins, water, and fat held in place. All this creates the “peau d’orange” or orange peel appearance.

 

An important part of getting rid of cellulite is to detox the organs and systems of elimination in the body including the colon, liver, and lymphatic system. An excellent program to accomplish this is the 30-Day Detox program.
