Cellulite is the accumulation of modified fat cells under the skin, combined with the degeneration of the subcutaneous connective tissue.<\/h5>\n
It is affected by fatty foods, but is prevented – improved by a special diet that includes only foods with medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs).<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

WHAT CAUSES CYSTARITY IN WOMEN?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It is caused by hormonal and vascular changes mainly due to the reduction of estrogen during menopause.<\/p>\n

The fat cells that are normally present in the subcutaneous tissue become filled with saturated fatty acids of “irregular composition”, the vessels that feed them become larger but dysplastic. Type I collagen is reduced. The clinical effect is orange peel on the skin of the woman mainly on the buttocks and thighs.<\/p>\n

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIET AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CELLULITE<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Saturated and\/or unsaturated fatty acids with long carbon chains (>18 C atoms) found in foods such as butter, olive oil, animal fats in meat, nuts, etc. seem to be implicated in their accumulation within lipodystrophic cells.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

RECENT DATA \"\"<\/a> <\/strong><\/h5>\n

We know that replacing long fatty acids with medium-chain fatty acids has remarkable clinical results. As a typical example, the use of coconut oil as the only allowable fat in the diet of women with lipoedema or lymphedema improved >60% of the aesthetic outcome<\/p>\n
