All the fat this is deposited in your arms, thighs or butt is often seen like bumps or dimples called as cellulite. It's a plague that ends up haunting all of us. it's just the way that society has made us all believe in the unrealistic beauty standards and the need to fit into these beauty standards in order to look beautiful. This has destroyed many people's confidence and self-worth. Although, there's no way to explain that the real reason behind the fat that accumulates on our body leads to the formation of cellulite. There are no cures for cellulite but many people feel the need to know more about it and while there is a lot of information available on the same over the Internet, there are people who even end up believing in the myths around cellulite.

We're here to debunk these myths:
- It is believed that only and only fat people end up having cellulite which isn't true. Cellulite is basically the accumulation of fat under the skin that takes place when your connective tissues are not strong or due to poor blood circulation. You need to know that your body size has nothing to do with cellulite. In fact, even thin people can have cellulite.

- It is also believed that the cardio exercises that we do can help us in reducing cellulite but that's really untrue. One really good way to get rid of cellulite is to build muscles and strengthen the connective tissues that only happens if you put real focus on more strength and resistance training instead of burning some calories on the treadmill.

- People believe that liposuction can help in getting rid of cellulite and even makes your skin look healthy and smooth which isn't true. There's absolutely no way that the cellulite can vanish. Sure the process can reduce the cellulite but it can also make it worse and that's definitely risky.

- Some people end up believing that beauty treatments and creams can cause cellulite, however it is a formation of fatty cells that cannot be cured with all such things.
