"Cellulite" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Cellulite is a common condition where the skin appears to have a dimpled, lumpy, or cottage cheese-like texture, typically on the thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen. It occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin, causing the skin to appear uneven and bumpy. Cellulite is not the same as fat, and it's not necessarily related to obesity or weight gain. It affects an estimated 80-90% of women and up to 40% of men. While it's not a medical problem, cellulite can affect a person's self-confidence and body image.
