Why does stress affect cellulite?
Stress is one of the factors often mentioned when it comes to cellulite. When we’re stressed, our body produces a hormone called cortisol. That’s why it’s worth looking after your overall balance and making time to unwind every day.
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 your wellbeing, it’s best to keep stress at a distance. Wellness sports are an excellent option: they allow you to release tension while staying active and toning your body.
