I don't think I'm overweight, but I've inexplicably gained some fat under my arms, and I can't seem to get rid of it no matter what I do. Are there any ways to reduce underarm fat?
The armpits are a major convergence point for lymph nodes. When sustained pressure is applied and relaxation is impossible, lymphatic circulation becomes impaired, leading to swelling and excess fat on both sides of the armpits. In addition, improper choice and wearing of underwear are also major factors in the development of "accessory breasts." Try the following simple methods consistently.
1. Regularly massage your breasts. Pay attention to the techniques of pinching and pushing. Stand upright, and you can see the concave and protruding parts from the armpit to the chest. For the concave part, use the middle finger and thumb of your right hand to repeatedly pinch the left breast with appropriate force, and vice versa for the right breast. Do this several times a day. For the protruding part, make a fist with your left hand and use the force of your knuckles to push the protruding accessory breast on the left breast from the outside to the inside, and vice versa for the right breast.
2. Use dumbbells. Stand upright with your body straight, hold dumbbells in front of your abdomen with an overhand grip, parallel to your body, and pull the dumbbells up to your chin. Inhale, then lower them back to the starting position while exhaling. Do 15 to 25 repetitions, which is called one round. Do three to five rounds daily, resting for one to two minutes between rounds.
3. Wear a properly fitting bra. Choosing a bra that provides full coverage is the first step in preventing the formation of accessory breast tissue. For those who already have accessory breast tissue, bra selection is even more crucial. Opt for bras with higher and wider sides that fully cover the entire breast, or corrective bras with a corrective effect. With consistent use, the problem of accessory breast tissue can definitely be easily resolved!
