I heard that the indigestible cellulose from celery is stored in your body, especially hips/buttocks as cellulite? If so why is this not a widely known fact?
How could it get stored anywhere if it isn't digested?wench381 said:I heard that the indigestible cellulose from celery is stored in your body, especially hips/buttocks as cellulite? If so why is this not a widely known fact?
Cellulose is a type of carbohydrate found in plants, including celery. It is a structural component of plant cell walls and provides rigidity and strength to the plant.
Humans lack the enzyme necessary to break down the beta bonds in cellulose molecules, making it indigestible for us. This is why we cannot obtain nutrition from consuming cellulose.
Cellulite is a type of body fat that appears as dimpled or lumpy skin, typically on the thighs and buttocks. When we consume cellulose from celery, our bodies are unable to break it down and it is stored in the form of fat, contributing to the appearance of cellulite.
No, consuming celery in moderation will not directly cause cellulite. However, if you consume large amounts of celery or other foods high in cellulose and do not burn off the excess calories through exercise, it may contribute to the accumulation of body fat and increase the appearance of cellulite.
Cellulite is not harmful to our health, but it is a cosmetic concern for many individuals. It does not pose any medical risks, but some people may feel self-conscious about its appearance.
