"While genetics play a role in cellulite, it can also be linked to one or a combination of the following: processed foods, insufficient exercise, and poor elimination."

I’m in my early 30s and have noticed pockets of cellulite on my thighs and buttocks. I’m fit and enjoy running, so know it’s not due to inactivity. Is there a natural treatment I could use?

Cellulite has long been considered as a symptom of excess weight or high body fat, but this simply is not the case. Cellulite does not discriminate. It occurs in the fatty reserve areas (found in breast, belly, buttock, thigh and upper arm regions) and appears to have a certain genetic component.
