What causes cellulite? The causes of cellulite are not particularly well understood, but according to medicalnewstoday, there are several theories as to what the causes are; ◾Hormonal factors - hormones play an important role in cellulite development. Many believe oestrogen, insulin, noradrenaline, thyroid hormones, and prolactin are part of the cellulite production process. ◾Genetics - certain genes are required for cellulite development. Genes may predispose an individual to particular characteristics associated with cellulite, such as gender, race, slow metabolism, distribution of fat just underneath the skin, and circulatory insufficiency. ◾Diet - people who eat too much fat, carbohydrates, or salt and too little fiber are likely to have greater amounts of cellulite. ◾Lifestyle factors - cellulite may be more prevalent in smokers, those who do not exercise, and those who sit or stand in one position for long periods of time. ◾Clothing - underwear with tight elastic across the buttocks (limiting blood flow) may contribute to the formation of cellulite.
