Caffeine and Cellulite: Nature’s Cure
Caffeine and cellulite are the latest trend in the anti-cellulite products. We will try to determine whether or not caffeine is a potent ingredient for the fight against cellulite.
First we will try to understand the nature of cellulite, find out the needs of the body with respect to cellulite reduction, and what caffeine can do.
Cellulite and the Natural Processes of the Body
The body is amazingly designed to be an efficient machine that does all the works for its maintenance and operation. However, once one of its functions is hampered, the whole system suffers and consequences ensue.
Cellulite formation is a manifestation of system malfunction. Cellulite is primarily fat build up that push against the connective tissues and the skin which causes the ugly dimples, bumps and lumps on the surface of the thighs, buttocks, stomach and arms.
If the problem is simple fat build up, it can easily be shed off by exercise, active lifestyle and healthy food choices. However, the problem is not just fat build up. It is more complicated than most know of.
The circulation in areas affected by cellulite is blocked and hampered. As a result, the fats stored in these areas are prevented from being metabolized back in the body in the form of energy. This explains why cellulites can be found in women of all shapes and sizes. It does not matter whether you are overweight, average, or underweight. Even though the body is physically exerted, it will just use fat stored in other areas of the body and not the fat that is actually pushing against the skin causing cellulite.
Also, the bumps and lumps on the surface of the skin is not just fat, it is also combined with the build up of toxins and free radicals that are not flushed out of the body because of the impaired blood circulation.
The cells and tissues in cellulite affected areas are also deprived of the much needed nutrients and oxygen because the blood that delivers these essentials cannot fully circulate to these areas. As such these cells and tissues are most likely to get damaged and its repair is not easily obtained because of the malfunction. Thus, it is not a surprise that cellulite affected skin appear as they do.
Collagen can help repair the damaged cells and tissues, and restore their natural elasticity and flexibility for a suppler and smoother skin. However, the body does not produce sufficient amount of collagen to achieve this.
Caffeine and Cellulite
After understanding what is actually happening underneath the ugly bumps and lumps, you have now realized that cellulite is a combined problem of fat build up, poor circulation, toxin build up, poor collagen formation and bad skin texture.
Taking all these into consideration, caffeine is actually a good remedy for cellulite. Caffeine has been proven to effectively reduce the fat build up in the subcutaneous layer once applied on the affected areas. Moreover, caffeine can effectively stimulate the blood vessels into expanding for improved blood circulation. Caffeine offers solution to two of the cellulite associated problems: fat build up and poor circulation. Thus, caffeine and cellulite are really a good combination.
Caffeine and cellulite may be a good combination, however caffeine alone is not sufficient to reduce cellulite. Caffeine needs to be paired to other ingredients that will resolve the other problem areas that caffeine is incapable of resolving.
