How do poor circulatory exchanges lead to cellulite?
Swelling from lipid accumulation in fat cells exerts pressure on the circulatory system, causing a slowdown both in the intake of nutrients and the drainage of waste products. Poor exchanges lead to a gradual stiffening of the connective tissue, which shortens as it stiffens, pulling the skin down. At the same time, the clusters of enlarged fat cells pull the skin up. The consequence of this push/pull mechanism results in the dimpled appearance of the skin.
