To avoid the cellulitis during the pregnancy

To avoid the cellulitis during the pregnancy
Pregnancy and cellulitis are dependant, because of the hormonal upheaval which the pregnancy involves. But can we, despite everything, to remove us from the cellulitis – to even prevent its appearance?

Why the pregnancy is a situation at the risk of cellulitis?

First of all, the cellulitis seems sensitive to the female sex hormones: estrogens. The appearance of the cellulitis begins at the time from puberty and tends to be accentuated with the hormonal events: hormonal contraception and other treatments, pregnancy and breast feeding. It should be known that the estrogens stimulate the storage of greases (energy reserve), particularly useful in preparation for the pregnancy and of breast feeding. The intervention of another hormone would play a big role: prolactin. This one is naturally produced in order to prepare the glands mammaires with breast feeding. But it contributes, it also, to stimulate the formation of reserves of lubricating cells, while it increases the retention of water in these same greasy fabrics.
And finally, in the last weeks of pregnancy, the weight and the volume of the baby reinforce this phenomenon by compressing the blood-vessels. The venous return is braked, which blocks venous circulation in the areas favourable with the accumulation of cellulitis: thighs, hips, buttocks.

The instructions anti-cellulitis in the expectant mother

1. To take care not to take too much weight.
2. To avoid excesses of greases, particularly animal.
3. To fill the tank with omega-3: to eat fish per week twice, by privileging the small fish (sardine, mackerel, salmon…).
4. To avoid salt excesses, the wearing of high heels, the prolonged sitted stations and to cross the legs… Because these factors block blood circulation.
5. To regularly practice an physical-activity compatible with the stage of the pregnancy.
6. And finally, to nurse more the possible for a long time. Exclusive breast feeding is accompanied by a faster loss of the weight taken during the pregnancy, and also reduces the cellulitis.
