A poor diet: A diet excessive in calories leads to weight gain, the fat cells, then so is the process further deteriorates cellulite. You should also take into account the relationship between sodium (salt) and cellulite. Excess sodium in the diet produces edema or fluid retention, which further aggravated the table.

A diet low in sodium intake along with a liter and a half at least of water, helps eliminate toxins and reduce swelling.

Stress: The accumulated tensions hinder the flow and exchange products and waste can not be eliminated.
The consumption of alcohol and snuff: Increased amount of toxins incorporated into the body. The alcohol prevents proper cleaning of waste material and smoking hinders proper blood circulation.

Developmental stages of cellulite
Cellulite is formed in different stages or phases, and then arrived at the de-structuring of the subcutaneous tissue.

First stage: venous and lymphatic microcirculation slows, causing vasodilation.

Second stage: This vasodilation ago permeable venous and lymphatic vessels and so liquid goes to the outside (interstitial space).

Third stage: This liquid, it becomes dense and thick, which makes the exchange of nutrients between fat cells and vessels. The fat cells grow in size because they can not eliminate their waste or waste products into the circulation. That adipose hypertrophy may induce even the outbreak of the adipocyte, and fat content turning abroad.

Fourth stage: fibrosis is generated. A network around our fat cells, the venous and lymphatic vessels. This network is even more difficult in nutritional exchange between cells, on the other side of this fibrous network also compresses the nerve endings and fat cells, causing pain.

Fifth stage: The evolution of macro generates fibrosis nodules, leading to the external appearance of cellulite or “orange peel”.
