Word:    Cellulite

Short Definition:
  The dimpled skin on women's butt, thighs and hips.

Definition:
A term for deposits of subcutaneous fat and fibrous tissue that cause a dimpling effect on the overlying skin. These deposits most commonly occur on the butt, thighs and hips of women.

A large part of cellulite is comprised of toxins and fat that accrue within the body. Cellulite can affect men and women of any body weight or size.

Cellulite is not health threatening and is more of a concern for appearances. The typical remedy is diet and exercise. By reducing overall body fat and toning the underlying muscle, cellulite can be reduced and that area of the body more toned.
