The upper arm or hand near the armpit often sags. This condition is considered terrible for some people.
Big hands and the flare may make you not confident enough to wear sleeveless dresses.
The problem is, many people experience this wavy arm, especially those of you who are overweight.
Apparently, these flabby arms can appear due to daily habits. Here are some habits that make your arms wave.
1. Eat carelessly
Throwing various sources, a poor diet can cause fat to accumulate in the body.
One of the favorite locations for fat is the arms near the armpits. It’s no wonder your arms feel flabby when you’re overweight.
2. Lazy to exercise
Unhealthy eating habits and infrequent or never exercise make fat comfortable to stay in the body. Without a healthy lifestyle, anyone can fall victim to excess fat accumulation in the upper arms.
3. Stay up late

Sleeping for less than 7 hours causes the body to release the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol, as mentioned by various sources, keeps the body in conservation mode.
When this happens, it will store fat that should be used up when you wake up. Lack of sleep decreases feelings of fullness and increases the hormone ghrelin which plays a role in increasing hunger.
4. Loves to eat and drink sweets
Sugar is not only bad for your teeth but also for your overall health.
The liver is responsible for the metabolism of sugar and its transformation into fat.
In addition to the excess fat you gain, prolonged excessive sugar consumption can cause fatty liver disease, diabetes, heart disease, and lower testosterone levels in the body.
5. Too often exposed to the sun
Throwing various sources, sun exposure can damage the skin on your arms. Excessive sun exposure can also break down the collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.
Sun damage is also an enemy of the skin’s surface. The reason is that ultraviolet (UV) rays can accelerate skin aging.
This condition causes a loss of collagen in the body, especially in the subcutaneous area, which holds and tightens the skin texture, thus increasing the risk of sagging skin.
