Whatever the reasons for the appearance of cellulite are, it does not matter, the important thing is to know that they can be harsh on your health.
What Causes Cellulite?

* In most cases, the main cause of cellulite is said to be hereditary. Even if you lead a healthy lifestyle, if someone in your family suffers from cellulite, then there is an increased risk and you to have at some time of your life.

* We all know the problems associated with cellulite are more common in women. The main reason is the fibrous structure of the skin in women, so they are prone to deposition of fat cells. On the other hand, male skin texture is smooth and therefore they do not have this problem. In addition, estrogen plays a dominant role in the formation of cellulite, as it facilitates the growth of fat cells around the hips, breasts and buttocks. Another hormone rogesterone can make this problem serious because it helps for weight gain. Thus, estrogen and progesterone are responsible for the formation of cellulite.

* We all know that an active and healthy lifestyle is essential for a happy and enjoyable life. But for most people, stress and busy schedule, combined with unhealthy eating mess up their health. The result is obesity and fat deposition. Thus, an unhealthy lifestyle is a major cause of cellulite. Pregnancy leads to many changes in a woman's body. Due to the rapid growth of the fetus, there are many hormonal changes and increased fluid retention, which sometimes creates complications during pregnancy. Sometimes there are many side effects after pregnancy. Imbalance of hormones during this period even postpone the unhealthy fat cells, which in the long run can affect the walls of blood vessels, lymph vessels, muscles and even the blood stream. So women can develop cellulite during pregnancy and after it. Use of drugs such as sleeping pills, birth control pills and diet pills certainly act as one of the main causes of cellulite.

* Everyone knows that smoking is harmful to health, but not many know that it is also one of the reasons for the formation of cellulite. In fact, free radicals presented in the nicotine damage the veins and capillaries. Moreover, with heart and lung problems, smoking weakens the cells and leads to fatty deposits within them. However, there are many reasons to stop smoking, the formation of cellulite is another important reason to get rid of the habit as soon as possible.

When we ask ourselves what causes cellulite, we should note that there is another very important reason for it – the lymph nodes.

* Enlarged lymph nodes often affect health due to excessive deposition of fat cells. The lymphatic system consists of multiple nodes that act as filters for the lymph fluid, which is essential for the normal functioning of the body. Some complications such as irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and inflammation of the pelvis can lead to enlargement of the lymph nodes and as a result the flow of lymph fluid slows down, causing some blockages, leading to the formation of cellulite.
