While cellulite is to find the cheese that may appear on the buttocks, thighs and calves and even, unfortunately, is very common for women.

So what exactly causes cellulite and why women are more prone to cellulite? Collagen requires oxygen and nutrients it receives from the bloodstream. As regards women as they age and their estrogen levels begin to decline, beginning some of receptors in blood vessels (arteries particularly in the lower body) to lose the function. Therefore, the flow may decrease and collagen loses blood circulation and break down. The reason it occurs in the calves, thighs and buttocks because women have three layers of fat in these areas. Lack of estrogen is an explanation of why older women tend to get cellulite, but for young women is different. As young women are not lacking estrogen does have estrogen dominance, which can result from eating large amounts of processed foods, soy foods and packaged, or a lack of physical activity or of high amounts of stress.
