Why does stress affect cellulite?
Several scientific studies have shown that stress has a direct impact on the appearance and development of cellulite. When we’re stressed, our body produces a hormone called cortisol, which encourages the build-up of dimples by disrupting blood and lymphatic circulation and increasing fat storage.
On top of that — and you’ve probably noticed this yourself — when we’re stressed, we tend to snack more… And more often than not, it’s sugary or fatty foods we reach for! For both of these reasons, stress has a real impact on cellulite. Wellness sports are an excellent way to tackle this: they help you release stress while burning calories and toning your body.
