Cellulite/Stretch marks  and Yoga

Q.Martiana Asks; After I had my first child I developed fat in or around my mid section. Some cellulite also appeared . How yoga or yoga lifestyle can help.

A. Masso Answers; Diet and exercise can help reduce the appearance of cellulite by reducing fat and toning body.  However, getting rid of cellulite pockets completely, particularly after it sets in (third stage),  appears to be nearly impossible.

Exercises are most effective if done right after child birth (first stage) or when a person goes through a a drastic weight lose via a diet.

Yoga students who continue yoga during and after childbirth pick up minimum stretch mark after effects. 
Cellulites are pockets of old fat tissues that have become somewhat detached from metastasis process and stored seemingly for an endless period in pockets surrounded by tissues.

The reason for that maybe, cellulite are stored calorie producing substances that lost their function to be cycled as calorie source, so they became somewhat underused, detached and then stored as unhealthy pockets of fat.
Lets make this a little clearer. You stored fat during your pregnancy instictively/naturally to ready your pregnant self for emergencies and famine that never came. If you neglected post pregnancy restoration exercises to return your body to its pre pregnancy form as soon as possible, then you may loose the chance to get rid of the stored fat without drastic measures. 

Now, it is harder to reconnect and uptake all that unused, stored sources of calorie. While, it is not difficult to assume that some of these unused tissues loose their connective supply and stay in the same pockets, potentially turning into cellulite and even toxins sometime later.

Yoga practice , or any other fat burning, hormone inducing exercise, right after pregnancy or drastic weight lose programs, can diminish the stretch marks thus cellulite. Only if you let the effects of pregnancy endure for a longer period of time,  you will have those problems persist. 
Fat, if it is recycled and refreshed periodically is a beautiful and beneficial addition to body. We all have seen people with youthful appearance that carry a healthy and fresh layer of fat under their skins. Babies are good examples. In addition to use calories produced in their primary digestive system, babies recycle their fat tissues with the same rate and keep it supple. They do this through a systematic metastasis pathway that equally seeks calories from both primary source and body fat. As we get older, and in modern societies, we access more nutrition than we actually need and needlessly store them as an ancient habitual provision memorized from feast and famine periods of previous centuries. Additionally, we eat for reasons other than nutrition or metastasis. We eat to please ourselves, to entertain, to comfort, to ease worries and undesirable thoughts. Eventually, through under-use, we loose the pathway to metabolize our stored fat for catabolism, anabolism etc...and end up storing enduring fat tissues.
Some cultures provide beneficial mandates  to restore both pathways to its youthful stage. Muslims fast from dawn to dusk for an entire  month in a year. Other religions and orders have their own instructions, exclude certain food or drinks for periods.

Fasting causes the body’s metastasis function switch into emergency mode. To seek and find pathways to calorie sources other than primary digestive system which will remain empty due to fasting and eventually to find and restore pathways that lead to plentiful stored fat. Next is to continue using and keeping the access pathways open and burn stored fat by having a proper diet.
Imagine, if we can re learn how to use our fat for calories the same rate as babies do, we maybe able to return the youthful look.

Teaching body to re learn and remember these calorie seeking pathways is one of the most promising new methods to remedy cellulitis.
Yoga and yoga lifestyle including proper diet, can help reduce or eliminate appearance of cellulite or fat at thighs , legs, abdomen and buttocks via creation of  strong alongated muscles. Intense Supported Yoga Techniques have triggered endo activities that helped regenerate pathways.
Additionally yoga can empower one to fast and increases your endurance to push for the creation of the lost pathways. You can also use Schwasana visualization with yoga poses and fantasize elimination of cellulite.

We do this in classes, everybody simultaneously visualizing that they have lost old stored fat .

I have seen visible progress where a mature student used yoga lifestyle and specific form of fasting to re generate the lost pathways to other sources of calorie in the body including to old stored fat. It was a lengthy supported process but we learned so much from it and can personalize and design effective individualized programs/diets that yield much faster results.

We must overcome fear of hunger and make friends with occasional pain of empty stomach.  

Q. Martiana Asks; Is there a link between cancer and Cellulite, specially in breast area for women?

A. Masso Answers; I can't really answer this question without violating medical advice rules. I heard recently in popular media that accumulation of excessive amount of fat for a long period, can contribute to development/ redevelopment of cancer. Also, breast cancer is not a gender specific ailment. there are plenty of men that get breast cancer. 25.000 , mostly overweight men are diagnosed per year in US alone.
I assume that stored fat , if it stays isolated in the body for a long period of time , can substanially change and  become toxic. This assumption maybe true in our time more than ever, since we have lot more toxic and unconventional chemical compounds in our environment than before. Fat may allow these compounds to be stored in pouches right next to our bodies for long period of time. I imagine these pouches will leak and contaminate nearby cells.
It would be very interesting if someone can provide reliable information/links in this area.
