Mid-life Crisis Starts At 25

Men buy a shiny Harley, let their hair grow and look for a younger woman. Also women experience a midlife crisis, but a lot earlier than men.

Women grow up faster than men. That is an opinion many women share. This supposition has some truth in it according to analyst James Hollis. Apparently around twenty five already they start plunging in a midlife crisis. "When women realize that the world is not fair, that their dreams will never come true and that they have to face a life that won't be easy, something changes in their personality. They are depressed or start being dissolute: the midlife crisis has begun" says Hollis.

How to recognize a female midlife crisis?

Many women feel at some point in their early life aimlessly. They do not know where they want to go on with their lives, feel unhappy in their current job, get anxiety attacks and start to drink and shop. Some become depressed, others become very active and unfaithful. "Midlife crisis is different for every woman. But every woman will recognize it because they are going to feel completely different. They start thinking on everything deeper and longer and realize that their lives will never be the same again," said Hollis.

One-night-stand Rather Than Dates

Romance seems far away for American students. A survey of 150 female and 71 male university students shows that twice as many youngster have one night stands than dates.

Women want to learn to know their first sexual partner via a date, but men are afraid to become depending in that way. Therefore the vast majority of men choose to woo a woman and rather convince her to have sex with him immediately.

The study also showed that it is almost always the man who takes the initiative for a one night stand.
Women are more like wait-and-see.

Controversial Sweetener Stevia Passes EU Tests

Ideal sugar substitute

The controversial Stevia plant is for diet freaks since several years the ideal sugar substitute. And now it seems the European Union endorses to sell the plant in Europe.

Table sweetener Truvia

Critics claimed that the stevia leaves were carcinogenic and toxic. The American company Cargill Health and Nutrition, processing the plant in the low calorie sweetener Truvia, had the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) test the plant. That safety evaluation finally showed that the Stevia plant is safe for use as a sweetener; the EFSA also made already some recommendations about acceptable daily intake quantities for safe consumption. This positive evaluation is a first important step to the European approval and general availability of the sweetener Truvia.
 
The Truvia table sweetener is already the U.S.A. leader in the new category of sweeteners based on stevia. It is for 97% made of the best tasting part of the stevia leaf. The sweetener is two hundred times sweeter than sugar and provides food and beverage producers a new range of choices for the development of products with a natural sweetener without calories origin.

Healthy Chocolate

The Belgian chocolate producer Cavalier is the first one to produce a ‘Healthy Chocolate’ based on Stevia. They’re proud of being the first to make a healthier chocolate because of use of the Stevia as sweetener and that tickles the taste buttons better then the other Belgian chocolates according to their managing director.

Celebrity Anti-Flash Handbag

Do you also dislike parties where you know you have cameras constantly flashing in your face? In that case New York student Adam Harvey has the ideal solution.


Harvey created a accessory for stars that are constantly haunted by flashing cameras, called the 'flash handbag'. The product looks like an ordinary handbag, but on the outside is a device build in that responds to flashing cameras by flashing back. This makes of course each photo or picture unusable. Simple but very practical.

The gadget is still in a prototype phase and it is unknown if the gadget actually will be brought on the market.

Friendship is More Difficult to Break Than a Relationship

A friendship is often more difficult to break than a relationship. Especially the friendship's ethics makes it difficult to leave a former friend behind or alone.


"A friend you got for life" people say. But a British study shows that friendships are more then often broken. Especially the fact that it is less fun with the two of you can make sure someone takes the decisive step to break a friendship.

This however seems not so simple for the ethics given by a friendship may make many find it more difficult to leave a friend rather than a partner.

90% Children Wear Bad Shoes

According to a Belgian study with 119 Flemish children more than 90% of children wear the wrong footwear.


Shoe sellers usually allow children to sit down when they measure the children's feet. This gives a calculation error because the standing foot is quickly an third of an inch wider and longer. Moreover, the growth between the left and right foot is different, so you should always measure both feet to get a realistic picture. Since this almost never happens in reality, 94% of the children are walking around with a wrong length fit and 92% of the children with an incorrect width fit.

Cool Not To Have Sex According to Gaga

The American singer Lady Gaga has put a full stop to her sex life for an indefinite period.

According to the flamboyant star, it's cool not to have sex and there is nothing wrong with a celibate life. It sounds really strange from the mouth of the lady who does nothing better than to 'pose around' naked everywhere.

"I remember that the popular girls at my school had sex with almost anybody. It's really not cool anymore. It is much tougher to be strong and independent," she says.

By this means Gaga wants to pass the message to her fans that it is OK to be who you want to be.

Madonna Spends 77,000 US dollars for Anti-Cellulite Machine

Pop star Madonna has paid 77,000 US dollars or 50,000 British pounds for an anti-cellulite machine. The 'D-Actor', would make cellulite disappear as snow for the sun after only one treatment.


The 'D-Actor' was originally used to treat painful joints. Until the treating physicians noticed a significant improvement in their patience's skin. "The strength of the acoustic vibrations breaks down the cellulite immediately," says one owner of a London beauty salon.

Because a single session costs at least 300 US dollars or 200 British pounds, the queen of pop Madonna was so impressed by the machine that "she immediately paid 50,000 British pounds for a copy to take home", says the producer of 'D-Actor'.

Lady Gaga Obsessed With Hats

Lady Gaga is obsessed with hats. To make her designs more eccentric and to be able to put more of her own personality into it the designer started an internship with designer Philip Treacy.


"She loves my studio and is a real 'hat woman'. She is also very excited about her internship. Sometimes I ask her if she finds a hat or mask not too extravagant, but she thinks then it is even better. She likes things nobody else would wear, "says Philip Treacy.

Moody Employees Perform Better

A disgruntled employee is a good work force according to a study by Professor Joseph Forgas, University of Wales.


When workers are moody during working hours it would increase the quality of their performance. They make less mistakes, work more concentrated, are less likely to be influenced and have better argumented discussions.

According to Professor Forgas the explanation is simply evolutionary. The brain recognizes negative emotions such as anger and anxiety as positive attributes to keep us alert.

Liz Taylor to Marry Ninth Time?

Ninth time lucky. That is probably the motto of Elizabeth Taylor (78). According to several sources, the actress will marry again soon.
The lucky man this time is Jason Winters, the 49-year-old manager of Janet Jackson. The two are a couple for several years already.

"It's no secret that they are madly in love and an engagement is not a big surprise. But they wanted to keep their engagement for themselves," said a friend of the couple to U.S. Magazine.

Taylor had previously been married eight times. In 1996 she divorced her last husband. She became world famous by her performance as principal actrice in the movie "Cleopatra".

Still good looking for being 78 years old!

Karl Lagerfeld designs Coca-Cola bottle.

The German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel has his work briefly set aside to draw designs for soft drink giant Coca-Cola.

The designer pieces are released in limited edition only. In France they are available from April 24. Karl Lagerfeld lives since years in Paris, France. I which other countries the bottles are going to be brought out is not known.

Coca-Cola counted for the design of its bottles already before on Italian fashion houses like Versace, Fendi and Moschino.

Fruit and Vegetables Not Really Effective Against Cancer?

For years the medical world claims that five fruit servings a day protect against more than half of all cancers. Wrong, says an international team of scientists.

They studied the lifestyle, eating habits and health of almost 500,000 Europeans from ten countries. The results show that fruit and vegetables have only or even no effect on protection against cancer. Only 2.5 percent of all cancers can be avoided by consuming some portions of fruit a day.

Out of context

According to the famous Belgian oncologist Jaak Janssens we have to relativate the results of the concerning study, however. "It's a study with the Western population as subject. We are generally big eaters. Moreover, only adults were examined. While children are the main group. Their eating habits will influence later risk of cancer."

The researchers have not been careful enough. "This study was indeed carefully conducted, but it was not very wise to point out and explain one element of the research results and send it out to the world. In this way often completely wrong conclusions are made."

Diaz-Trainer Reveals: How to Get Sexy Legs Like Cameron

Cameron Diaz (37) proves on the set of her new movie "The Bad Teacher" that she has Hollywood's most beautiful pair of legs.

We had the proof as she recently came to the set, wearing super tight hot-pants. Slim and still the same as even before Cameron succeeded in 1994 with the film "The Mask" and her big breakthrough as an actress.

But no reason to envy! Because with the right work-out you can soon go through the summer with such slim legs .

Cameron's personal trainer Teddy Bass revealed in UsMagazine.com the most important exercises. It is about a blend of Pilates and strength training.

The right mix

"That seems to be the best combination for women over 30," he explains. "Women need weight -- it's great for building the butt. And elongation and smallness is tapped by doing Pilates."

Take your time

Cameron and Teddy go to the gym "as often as possible," depending on Diaz's work schedule. "You can do a great Pilates session in 45 minutes. If you have an hour-and-a-half, we'll do half weights and half Pilates and flexibility work."

The exercises with weights

Diaz's gams are worked out by a series of compound exercises, such as a step-up with a reverse lunge, a squat with a curtsy, a side-reaching lunge with a side step, in which you slowly step your feet together. The combination of moves really works the upper thighs, Bass explains. "You can do fewer reps with heavier weights," adds the trainer, who recommends at least 10 to 20-pound weights for lower-body work.

They also do mat Pilates and use the reformer machine. "I keep the workout as high-paced as possible because of time restraints. Generally, it has a cardio element."
Diaz brings her legs with different exercises in top shape: step-ups with one step backward, with little squats, side lunge and then use the other leg with a side-step slow. This movement combinations streamline thighs - with weights on the shoulders the exercises are even more efficient. "The heavier the weights, the less passes you have to do," says the celebrity trainer, he recommends at least five to ten pound weights.

Pilates Exercises

Bass trained Diaz with the mat Pilates. Sometimes they also work on the fitness Bank. He explains: "I'm moving through the exercises because of the short time at high speed. In most cases, the endurance is trimmed. "

Flexibility and regularity are important

To bring the legs in shape, no gym is needed. One could easily work out at home, says the fitness coach. Because: "If I come to the set of Cameron, I have to do without training devices. All they need are five-pound dumbbells and some space."

The coach advises readers: "As long as you are three to four times a week to cardiovascular exercises, muscle training for the legs and take Pilates and yoga, your appearance will change dramatically."

Why Making Love Without Feeling Like It Is No Good Idea.

Many women are diving into bed with their husbands without actually feeling like having sex. According to psychologists, however, this is about the worst thing you can do.

Many women are not as sexually oriented as their husband. Fear of losing him makes them having sex anyway, even if they don't feel like it at all. Psychologists warn for the negative consequences of such sex. Thus, women are increasingly starting to dislike sex because they (often) do not enjoy it.

Also, when women are not excited, their clitoris will not swell and therefor will be no strong blood flow from the vagina. This prevents the production of extra blood plasma, which serves as a natural lubricant. This makes it a very unpleasant and painful sexual intercourse.

Caviar Extract to Revive Your Hair. Spectacular!

Our hair is confronted daily with harmful UV rays and devastating pollution. To counter dehydration and weakening "Labs Recherce Avancée L'Oréal" created a caviar concentrate to revive hair like never before. Here are the results of the test.


If caviar is the culinary top product, then the new treatment by Kerastase Chronologiste is destined to be the top of hair care. The treatment is based entirely on caviar, which is already naturally rich in essential amino acids, proteins, essential fatty acids, trace elements and iodine. The result is a combination of pearls and a relaxing cream based on algae, watergel, vitamin A and vitamin E.

Magic

The two care products are only mixed at the last moment by a specialist hairdresser so that none of the magic is lost. Because of this the precious active ingredients come free during the mixing  and they immediately spread out over the hair scalp. While the cream nourishes your hair, the pearls revive the hair locks. The product feels pleasantly cool when applied and has a divine scent. After application you are placed under the K-Mist steam engine so that the product can pull more deeply into your hair.

The effects of the treatment is immediately noticeable. The hair feels incredibly soft and shines like a diamond. Even the scalp feels stronger and more hydrated.

73 US dollars for a caviar treatment

For a treatment in a recognized Kerastase Chronologiste institute count about 73 US dollars or 48 GBP. For 127 US dollars or 84 GB pounds you can take the product with you, so your treatment can continue for ten weeks at home.

Are You Envious or Jealous?

Many women are said to be jealous of the handbag or the sleek lines of a good friend. But what in fact is jealousy?


According to psychological research being envious is a feeling of envy, desire toward an object or a person. When  you deeply admire your friend's new bag and long for it are you envious. Envy is the emotion when one wants something that someone or something else has.

Jealousy comes up only when several people are involved. For example you can be jealous of the attention your brother or sister get from your parents, or the special bond between your other friends. Jealousy is the emotion when you fear something or someone might be taken away from you. Another example is "It makes me jealous when she/he calls my partner up in the middle of the night".
From the same psychological study they also found that actually only envy can be very damaging to our self-confidence. That's why we feel inferior, unhappy and embarrassed when we feel envy. On the other hand, with jealousy the primary feeling is anger.

Pregnancy Pounds Lead to Obesity

Women who take a lot of pounds during their pregnancy are more likely to develop obesity. This is what shows a study from the University of Queensland in Australia with 2055 women.

Women who took during pregnancy a lot of weight, weigh 21 years later on average 22 kilos too much. Those women who have only a few pounds added during pregnancy weighed after 21 years approximately 10 kilograms more.

Puberty Starts At 8 and Ends At 28

Puberty actually begins already in childhood and ends only when the children are twenty-eight. That is the conclusion of some Australian psychologists.

All educational models assume that puberty starts around the age of twelve and ends when we are twenty-one. Wrong, say Australian psychologists. In their opinion puberty already starts at eight years old and continues until you're eight twenty.

If the allegations of the Australian professors are correct, this could give a seismic shift at education level. This would mean parents should be aware that children begin to discover themselves more quickly and that this problem phase lasts much longer. Many parents remember the trouble they've had with their twenty-five-year-old children, sometimes seeming like an "unsupportable" character. Following their conclusion, this might be explained easily. They are still in puberty and are still struggling with their own personal development," the professors say.

Dating Sites Are Untrustworthy

According to the survey of a consumer organization, dating sites and relation agencies are often not to be trusted. More than often they lure customers with rather obscure practices. .

Most of the time these agencies haven't enough customers to be effective in helping somebody with a partner. In order to overcome the problem, they start to deceit. They arrange for instance a date with people who were paid by the agencies themselves or with people who don't even exist.

Customers of a marriage agency may need to pay first before they come into contact with some potential partner.

Weakness

The on-line dating business is even more dangerous, according to the researchers. Customers can often register only after they have completed an expensive subscription, without any guarantee of success.

The chat sessions on dating sites are often deceitful, they use hostesses with fake profiles to  take care of the chats and meetings or dates are postponed until the customer has renewed his or her subscription.

According to the consumer organization it concerns an abuse of the weakness or the loneliness of the members. It is very unusual for clients of dating sites or agencies to go to court.

Blondes Have Higher Wages

Blond Women may carry with them the stigma of stupidity, it doesn't keep them passing by all other women on the wage scale. That's what says a study published in the Journal of Economics Letters.


When the standard annual salary is 22,000 euros, blondes earn 1600 euros on average more. The partners of blonds earn a lot more than their colleagues. About the reasons the researchers as yet very vague, but presidents of blondes clubs think to have the answer: "Blondes are more fun and go more out. This automatically brings them to richer, social men. The more sociable you also are, the better you perform in the workplace.".

Nicole Richie Inspired by Jack The Ripper

Nicole Richie is very busy with the designs of her new clothing collection "The House of Harlow 1960". The inspiration for this theme is coming from the movie "From Hell", where the serial killer Jack the Ripper is chased by the police.

"My biggest inspiration for this season were the characters Jack the Ripper and the Freemasons," says Richie. The collection contains therefore capes, crochet tights, blazer jackets and debardeurs. To brighten up the pretty dark theme, Richie added some colorful flower dresses.

Victoria Beckham Finds Peace With Yoga

It is a known fact that Victoria Beckham hates sport. Therefor she's always searching for new methods and ways to keep her body efficiently in top shape.
She seems to have found it with yoga.

Jennifer Aniston adores it since several years already and apparently Victoria Beckham has got the taste of it as well now.
During the sports and meditation lessons special exercises are being created that keep your body in top condition and at the same time your spirit in peace. "Already after a couple of weeks Victoria felt the difference. She's more quiet, peaceful and has nothing against the three weekly sports exercises anymore." (according to insiders)

Tap Water Makes You Fat

London's tap water is not as healthy as what people would think. Research shows that you can grow fat instead of helping to loose weight. That says nutritionist Adam Carey.

Bisphenol and Estrogen

The water purification stations in London are often unable to stop all soluble chemicals. So there is still a lot of Bisphenol in the water, and this substance could eventually lead to heart diseases and diabetes. The hormone estrogen is also often present in London's tap water. This allows you to start accumulating more fat rather than to get rid of it.

Still, Carey promotes the use of water, albeit with a strong water filter or simply by drinking bottled water.

Daily Multivitamin Causes Cancer

Multivitamin to increase resistance

Persons who take a daily multivitamin tablet together with their food were 20% more likely to develop breast cancer. That's what Swedish researchers say at least.

Many elder women swallow a vitamin pill daily to improve their bones and to increase their resistance. But now research shows that such groups have up to 20% greater risk of getting breast cancer. Yet the professors add that it is not so much due to the multi-vitamin tablets, but rather the unhealthy lifestyle of the women that does increase the risk for breast cancer.

Eating unhealthy

"Women take multivitamin tablets because they fear that they are eating unhealthy and therefor destroy their resistance. A multivitamin would suddenly solve everything," said the scientists. "Our research also shows that these tablets would extend the breast tissue. This may in the long run also lead to an increased risk, the researchers decided.

999 people half naked through London for free tickets

Cheap flight tickets

The Irish carrier Aer Lingus has called for 999 passengers in underwear to go through London. In return they received two free tickets. The call was followed massively, almost-nude often changed to completely naked.

Aer Lingus's stunt was to draw attention to its cheap flights starting from GBP £9,99. The campaign was launched Tuesday at Saint Patrick's Day. The naked guests wore at the occasion a green leaf as a symbol for Ireland.



Sunbathing

The green leaf and underwear were sometimes left behind under the bright spring sunshine. "Once out of sight of the police, some participants were indeed completely out of their clothes, to the delight of the audience," said a spokesman for Aer Lingus.

Rejuvenate using Your Own Stemcells and Blood.

Image by eworm via Flickr

Women who want to update their appearance can now rely entirely on two new methods: stem cell injection and blood injections.

Women typically use all kind of products like creams, lotions etc. to get their skin radiant and tight again, in other words to restore beauty. But what if the Anti-Aging secret was hidden within your OWN BODY?
Doctors and scientists discovered a technology that uses blood and stem cells to rejuvenate the skin.

Stem Cell Injection

Although cosmetic surgery takes no stem cells from embryos, the use of stem cells stays quiet controversial. Now how does this work? Your own fat in your body has adult stem cells that can be used for this method. Not necessary to mention they are in generally abundantly and easily available. So the doctor gets fat from your body and isolates or extracts the stem cells. Then the cells are remixed with some of the fat and injected into the face. This will give you stunning results in the fight against wrinkles.

Another interesting aspect of this method is the fact that it is not considered as a "drug" therapy or treatment by the FDA (Food & Drugs Administration): the cosmetic enhancement is executed in the same operative session as the liposuction to get the fat out of the body. Yet there are some pitfalls. Some doctors simply inject fat under your skin. It has a shorter life (it doesn't keep long) and reduces the blood flow in the long run, making the result look rather messy.



Typically, the stem cell injection technique is applied in the following four situations: Facial Fat Injections, Brazilian Butt Lift, Hand Rejuvenation and Breast Enhancements. Radiotherapy injuries, skin tissue defaults and defects, lumpectomy rebuild and breast reconstruction after breast cancer are currently under research and development.

Blood Injection

Also by injecting blood one can make wrinkles disappear. Plasma is taken from your own blood by means of a plasma centrifuge. Your plasma contains many growth elements that stimulate the collagen production. And a face with much collagen is a face with fewer wrinkles...

Reading to Children Better For Brain Development

Reading Stories to Children is better for their brain development and creativity.
Alison Davies says that in her book "Reading Your Baby."


Many children ask for a story regularly. Immediately revert to a book to read is not recommended according to Alison Davies. When we think or invent a story ourselves we cause an increase in the creative mind of the child. Moreover each story increases the vocabulary of the child story and it will get a better idea of the existing sentence structures.

Parents also have a lot of benefits in coming up with stories. They also increase their creativity level and strengthen the relationship with their children. Not to neglect, a story can help in telling a changing family situation. The brain of the child is than very calm and is therefore more able to incorporate information.

This means that the Stevia natural sweetener is ideal for anyone who wants to reduce daily sugar intake but still wants to enjoy chocolate.

Stevia is a natural product that originates from Paraguay. The Stevia plant has been used for centuries as a natural sweetener by local residents. Other countries such as Japan, have been aware since long of the more healthy functioning of the Stevia natural sweetener compared to other sweeteners.

Wearing Tight Denims Inside Out Is Back

Too Much Botox for the French President's Wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

From The Daily Mail: British Doctors agree that Carla Bruni - once a very pretty model - went too far with the Botox treatments: she had Botox injection in the forefront, eyes area, nose-lip line and her cheeks.
Scientist Alex Karidis says that the Botox makes the front very smooth and without wrinkles, but her eyes look more and more like those of a cat: "Carla Bruni has probably had that much injections that she has it difficult to close her eyes".
A colleague of Alex, Doctor Dav Panacer puts forward that she should have stopped with Botox. The skin under the eyes is thin and wrinkled, and this is because of the collagen injections. "she wants to hide this with make-up, but actually she only makes it worse".

The result for me is that Carla Bruni is not looking young, but looks like she's had too much cosmetic surgery. The saddest aspect of this is actually that she's not looking like that way now because she's old, she looks that way because she's a 42-year old woman that has to look like a woman in her early thirties. Like so many others: Fay Dunaway, Cher... the list is long.

Everybody knows there exist plenty of techniques, that will make women always look better, but there are limits. Who's guilty in this game?

Skin Destructive Diets

Many women are deficient in vitamin E without knowing it. Often this is because of the way diets are composed. A lot of fat-free diets can namely severely disrupt your vitamin level. Hence it is useful to mix a teaspoon of fat into your diet daily.

Vitamin E can be found in olive oil, sunflower seeds and hazelnuts, but these are typically deleted from our food intake when we go on diet. Vitamin E is essential for healthy skin. It protects you from sun damage, gives your skin a moisture boost and reduces the amount of wrinkles.

Taking a teaspoon of olive oil daily or consuming more spinach will only be benificial for your skin. This is pure skincare. To have get more vitamins into your body you can simply take a tablet of vitamin C or selenium before eating.

Busy Jobs Impossible for Women Because Men are Lax

It is virtually impossible for women to combine a busy job with family life. Not because women are weaker beings, but because men often evade their responsibility. That's the conclusion of scientists at Cornell University.

Women are still responsible for the majority of household chores. As a result, they often have a full-time job in the household after their long, hard working day. Men on the contrary often come home from work to promptly plop down in the seat. This inequality in the family ensures that women can't cope any longer with the pressure and quit their busy job. Especially when man work more than 60 hours per week, chances are that the woman is (becomes) housewife.

On the other hand, this rule does not apply to men. Men rarely encounter problems with a hard-working spouse and will almost never give up their career in turn for their wives so that she can proceed with her work or job.

Female Nannies Turn Boys Into Future Womanizers

A female nanny may have adverse effects on the development of your child. Especially men would develop less respect for women and consider them rather as objects of desire. That's what says psychiatrist Dennis Friedman in his book "An unsolicited donation: why we do what we do".

When a boy gets at very early age 2 women in his life, his biological mother and his nanny, the natural link with his parents will be disrupted. He gets used to several women in his life caring for him and always being ready for him. This feeling is maintained throughout later life, making the child  to deal very playfully with intimate contact with other women later in life. "Especially if the child becomes a father, is suddenly given a drive up to "having" several women," according to Friedman.

Young girls with a female nanny would turn faster into drug and alcohol addiction, because they miss the affection of their mother.

Image via Wikipedia

There are many myths about cellulite. So many people have spread untrue “facts” regarding cellulite that thousands of women do everything they can to try and prevent it, only to have it crop up anyway. It’s crucial to present what’s actually true about cellulite. There’s no other way to learn what’s really true regarding the nature of cellulite.

Myth 1: A myth that, at the time, seemed almost believable is that soda pop causes cellulite. The theory was that the sodium in soda pop caused fat cells to swell thus producing cellulite. This is not true. Cellulite is fat cells, but they have become deformed and trapped close to the skin in connective tissue.

Myth 2: Only people over the age of 40 get cellulite. Although cellulite may be easier to spot on older skin because it is thinner, a person of any age can have it.

Myth 3: You only get cellulite on the buttocks and thighs. These areas of the body are more prone to having cellulite, but it can also be found on one’s stomach, neck, and arms.

Myth 4: Perhaps one of the most common myths is that only over weight people get cellulite. This myth, when debunked, can be devastating to those who are not over weight. Unfortunately everyone has fat cells, even skinny people so they too are subject to cellulite.

Myth 5: You can get rid of cellulite by dieting and exercising. Due to the make up of cellulite, this is also false. Other fat in the body can be burned by the increase in metabolism a person gets through dieting and exercise. But cellulite is not affected by the metabolic process since it is trapped in the connective tissues.

There are the more popular cellulite myths out there. A lot of people use these myths to sell cellulite removal products and make money off people. You can save yourself a lot of trouble and time by knowing what’s true and what isn’t.
