Wanted cellulite

Today it’s fashionable to look for traces of a world conspiracy in everything. Conspiracy theorists believe that puppeteers from the Rothschild and Rockefeller families, having dug themselves in the Antarctic bunker, skillfully pull financial strings, imposing ever new super-valuable ideas on the world. You can laugh at their paranoia as much as you like, but when it comes to the beauty and health industry, you involuntarily start looking around hunted around, feeling the gaze of a "big brother" on you. Why? It is impossible only to explain the fact that beauty turned to the world, excuse me, backside, only with the notorious accident and magnetic storms.

Ten years ago, women mostly bought only makeup and a variety of hair care products. In 2014, lipsticks and shampoos at the end of the list of preferences, in the first place anti-cellulite cosmetics. It’s not even that it is beneficial to someone. Fashion is fashion. The point is in principle. Is it possible to make the skin on the buttocks as smooth as the cheeks of a baby, as one of the cosmetic companies sketched sugaryly on its products? Or is the notorious fight against cellulite a really superbly organized world scam, the victims of which were Russians as well?

- Cellulite? - No, I have not seen

Modern science is optimistic. Moreover, textbooks of normal physiology and anatomy do not tell at all that the skin on the hips and buttocks has some special tuberosity. Numerous evidence of this is strolling along the beaches, showing perfectly smooth buttocks. According to the same textbook, a woman of average height and normal build has fat depots in which she is physiologically effective, and which is especially important nowadays, evenly, without tubercles and depressions, she can place about 12-15 kg of fat. The average Russian woman has a much greater fat reserve - about 25 kg. It is not surprising that this wealth is distributed unevenly. Beauticians call this excess fat, which not only skin cannot hide, but also often outerwear, culinary, it is he who is responsible for the eternal female sorrow and the source of superprofits of cosmetic corporations.

Calling this phenomenon cellulite is at least dishonest! It is more likely to “pie” or “sausage”, or maybe “chokolodite”. It’s rather stupid to try to correct the situation by spreading cream on this mess and sucking vacuum jars to the bumps. It is enough to buy modern scales with a fat analyzer. If this device, which is very useful in the household, suddenly shows more than 25 percent of body fat, you should not buy anti-cellulite cream and sign up for a massage, it is better to spend money on mascara and attract fans with an expressive look, by the way, psychologists say that in the human population it is much more effective , only our ancestors of the monkey react to a smooth, even ass.

Anti-cellulite palmistry

But it happens that a minimal excess of fat, literally an extra two or three kilograms, covers the body with an ugly hilly crust. The genes that determine the composition of the skin matrix are to blame. The more elastin in the skin, the thinner it is, the more precisely it fits the structure of the surface that it covers. And in this case, cellulitis, that is, inflammation of the skin-fatty tissue, this condition is not. And of course, no decongestants that improve capillary circulation and other remedies will help. Such women are especially careful to monitor the composition of the body, to prevent excessive accumulation of fluid in the tissues. Behind such skin you can’t hide a sin!

It is impossible to determine the quantitative ratio of elastin and collagen in the skin at home, but it is possible to indirectly assess how much skin is stretched and how many extra pounds it can hide from picky eyes, using tests that are used in gymnastics to assess the ligament apparatus elongation. As a rule, if there is a lot of elastin, then there is a lot in all tissues, not only in the skin. It is necessary to study the fingerprints of the ring finger and little finger of the left hand, if one of the 4 options presented above is found, then smooth skin on the hips will cost titanic efforts - you will have to control not only the amount of fat in the body (it should be no more than 22%), but also the amount fluids in tissues (modern scales make it possible to measure this). If necessary, you will have to limit the amount of salt in the dishes and add foods and drinks with diuretic properties to the diet. Instead of anti-cellulite drugs, it is more reasonable to use anti-varicose pharmacology and compression knitwear.

Loose hips - lesser evil

In another case, women with normal weight and a small amount of fat may have skin on their hips that resembles a moon surface. And anti-cellulite cosmetics will again prove powerless, although these women are actively, but, unfortunately, use it to no avail. The syndrome is called dysmorphism. Fat accumulates exclusively in one place on the hips, ignoring the stomach, arms, face in every way.

Fat depot on the hips and buttocks, even the largest, but still it is not able to accommodate the entire supply of fat. By adapting, the body builds special fibrous cells that will structure and strengthen the fat mass. These structures will be easily guessed through the skin. The cause of dysmorphism is hormonal. Adipose tissue on the hips is involved in the synthesis of estrogen. Of course, for the production of female hormones, there is a special organ - the ovaries, but it happens that they work not too actively or not synchronously with other biorhythms. And then the emergency mechanism turns on - the adipose tissue on the hips turns into a full-fledged hormonal pool, which cannot be destroyed either by diets or physical education, otherwise many of the vital functions of the female body will be disrupted.

Manufacturers of anti-cellulite cosmetics are aware of dysmorphism and are trying to add the so-called phytoestrogens to their products, but studies of the effectiveness of such creams are contradictory. There is evidence that external estrogens, instead of facilitating the task of adipose tissue, kill already sluggish ovaries, thereby forcing fat on the hips to take on more and more hormonal tasks. And that means - there should be more fat. Can this phenomenon be called cellulite? Will anti-cellulite shorts and chocolate wraps help establish estrogen balance? Hardly. An experienced gynecologist, physiotherapy exercises and competent physiotherapy are a more appropriate choice.

Retired dreams come true for women

So where is the same cellulite, what are we fighting with, rubbing our buttocks with pepper or menthol? It's a shame to admit, but, coating ourselves with decaliters of liquid petroleum jelly with extracts of pepper and artificial caffeine (this is what anti-cellulite cosmetics consist of), we are more likely to stuff someone’s overflowing money bags than to remove hated riding breeches and so-called “ears ". Until humanity invents a pill for gluttony, until genetic engineering learns to change the composition of connective tissue, until biochemists can intervene in the hormonal sphere without harm to health, the bumpy skin on the female body was, is and will be.

Eh, I would like to arrange a sort of Maidan and come out with a united front against world deception and swindle, but fighting friends studying my fifth point will not hear my silent call. So, let’s at least, giving away hard-earned money, understand that anti-cellulite cosmetics are just a skin care product.It evens out color, eliminates pigmentation, moisturizes, protects from contact with the environment, creates a feeling of comfort and grooming. And that’s all! Not very expensive creams and grindings will cope with this.

And, in the end, why destroy something that itself will eventually disappear? The fat layer is a short-lived substance, it dies much earlier than a person. With age, the fat under the skin becomes less and less, the fat begins to be deposited in the vessels, in the liver between the muscles, covers the intestines and even the lungs, and the skin turns into dry wrinkled parchment, decorated with age spots - no bumps and cavities, no association with an orange peel - only saggy wrinkled buttocks ... Brrr. The idiot’s dream came true, as Bender would say.
