What is arm fat?
Arm fat refers to the excessive accumulation of arm fat, which makes the arm look slack, fat or not tight enough. It usually appears on the inside or back of the upper arm, and can also involve the areas near the shoulders and elbows.

The formation of arm fat can be related to many factors, including genetic factors, eating habits, lack of exercise, muscle relaxation, age and so on. Lack of exercise and incorrect eating habits are one of the most common reasons. Long-term sedentary or lack of exercise leads to muscle relaxation and fat accumulation.

Balanced diet: maintain healthy eating habits, take in proper nutrition, control calorie intake, and avoid excessive intake of foods high in sugar, fat and salt.

At the same time, practice the muscles of the arm, such as dumbbell exercises, push-ups, pull-ups, etc. , help to shape arm lines and strengthen muscles.

Pay attention to posture: keep the correct sitting and standing posture, avoid keeping the same posture for a long time, and try to avoid bad posture such as lowering your head and shrugging your shoulders.

Use tight clothes or compression sleeves: Tight clothes or compression sleeves can provide pressure and support, help shape arm lines and improve skin elasticity.

Arm massage: Regular arm massage can promote blood circulation, detoxify lymph nodes and help reduce fat.
