There is an opinion that besides of your lifestyle that contributes highly to the development of cellulite hormones might be to blame for cellulite in women and some of men. But what exactly causes hormones to produce fat? It is generally believed that it is the gene in the body that causes hormone levels to fluctuate. Those hormone fluctuations induce the fat production in the cells near the surface of the skin. For many years people have been trying to figure out the way to control their hormone levels to beta many problems and side effects cause by those fluctuations. The control over hormones is very hard to achieve since there are many ways they are or can be influenced: every month when a woman menstruates, her hormone levels change drastically, also, pregnancy, eating habits, stress, physical activities and even smell can trigger a hormone change. Nobody knows what levels or changes to hormones exactly can trigger the cellulite production, but there is a strong evidence of the connection between the two.

But there are ways to help hormones to stay in balance. The recipe is very simple, just the usual thing we need to do to stay healthy and happy.

When a person is depressed or sick, the hormonal levels will go up and down dramatically and will cause mood swings, more and more cellulite and other nasty problems.

Earlier on we mentioned that it is genes that are mainly responsible for hormone levels, so they are really to blame for our cellulite. Although hormones do play a crucial role in formation of cellulite, genes are situated on a level deeper in this problem – they are the reason people are prone to cellulite in the first place. You can say that cellulite is an inherited condition. There is no way we are able to change one’s genes yet. There are ongoing studies that will probably give us some more answers, but at this point we all have to live with our cellulite trying to maintain healthy bodies and lowering with years self esteem.

Apart from vitamins and food supplements there are also medications that can help control and regulate hormones. Excess estrogen is thought to be one of the main causes of cellulite and birth control pills, for example, are used to lower hormone levels. Other medications, anti-depressants, for example, can cause hormone levels to rise. Other medications that help with blood pressure and weight loss help maintain hormone levels. Obviously, before undertaking any action with some of those medications, a consultation with a doctor is needed, because, for some individuals, messing with hormones levels can be lethal. It can cause heart failure or a stroke. Ideally, the natural rhythms of the body should not be interfered unless there is a serious medical emergency.

It is believed that the genetic cure for cellulite is just around the corner. Once the gene has been located and removed, cellulite will no longer be a bother. But until that day arrives, it is best to try to live as healthy a life as possible. This includes diet, exercise, vitamins, and eliminating as much stress from your life as possible. This may mean changing one’s job or moving to a place that is more suitable. Life changes can have a positive impact on hormones as well as mental and emotional well-being.
