Having thick arms can be embarrassing for girls, especially during the summer when wearing sleeveless or tank tops. Why do other people have a thicker waist or abdomen, while I have thick arms?
Regular heavy lifting
Many women regularly engage in heavy lifting, such as carrying children or doing farm or household chores. Over time, the arms develop bulky muscles due to excessive exertion.
What to do:
Reduce the amount of time spent on heavy lifting. If you are a mother, try to use a stroller instead of carrying your child with your hands. If you do have to lift heavy objects, apply heat and massage the arms after returning home to help relax the muscles.
Excessive obesity
When the body is overweight, fat accumulates in various parts, including the arms, resulting in thicker arms.
What to do:
Adopt a balanced diet and engage in one hour of jogging every day to lose weight.
Lack of exercise
Many office workers, especially women, spend long hours sitting at their desks, leading to a lack of exercise. This causes fat to accumulate, resulting in "bat wings" or flabby arms.
What to do:
Remember to move and stretch your arms during work hours. Take the opportunity to do arm-toning exercises whenever you have spare time. Additionally, you can apply slimming cream to increase skin elasticity and firmness, improving the appearance of flabby arms.
Slow metabolism
A slow metabolism and low basal energy expenditure can lead to fat accumulation in the arms, making them appear bulky and obese.
What to do:
Exercise and massage can promote metabolism, accelerating the burning of arm fat.
Edema
Some people are prone to edema, and if there is abnormal water metabolism, the whole body may appear swollen, including the arms.
What to do:
Eat diuretic foods, such as barley porridge, and engage in regular exercise to promote fluid excretion.
