Ask the Guru: Why Should We Treat Our Cellulite?

Cellulite is usually thought of as an aesthetic issue. It’s not pretty, but a few dimples never killed anyone. Why should we be concerned with treating our cellulite? Isn’t there an element of vanity in focusing so much attention on such a superficial problem?

Dear Cellulite Investigation Readers,

Cellulite is cosmetic –we don’t want to wear shorts and it’s all embarrassing. But when you have cellulite, your lymphatic system isn’t working well. Your digestive system isn’t working well. Your eliminatory organs, especially your skin, aren’t functioning at their best so you start getting sick. You’ll start getting colds and flus and you’ll pick up everything. You’ll have more aches and pains because your whole system just doesn’t work as well as it should.

There is also a mental anguish that can come with cellulite.  When your body is physically sluggish and stressed, anything that happens externally in your world will just add to that stress. For example, if you do something as simple as drop a pen off the desk you might get really angry. Now, all you’ve done is drop a pen off the desk. But because you’re already stressed in a physical way, external stress can seem a lot more severe. Little problems can seem a lot bigger than they really are.
