What is armpit fat exactly?

According to studies, armpit fat is a common problem in people of any age: Mostly in those; who never do the required amount of physical exertion for various reasons.

Visually, armpit fat looks like oozing out of the skin between the chest and armpits. Scientifically it is called ''auxiliary fat''. 

It is more commonly seen in women than men because of tight clothing like; wearing tight bras and tops. But, it would not be fair to assume that wearing tight clothes is the primary cause of underarm fat.

Causes of fat under the armpit

1. Growing age
2. Weight gain
3. Breast tissue(Axillary fat)
   
4. Sex-specific genetics effects
5. Not doing proper workouts for upper body

1. Growing age 

Aging may cause the storage of fat under your arms because of many hormonal changes that come in our lives while we age.

These hormonal changes bring many physical transformations, and the rapid growth of our bodies is one of the major shifts we see.

And on this change, your body grows abnormally, and you feel the difference in your food consumption, which means your appetite increases, which directly leads to a rapid increase in fat.

2. Weight gain 

There is no doubt that weight gain leads to fat gain, so if you are overweight or moving towards being overweight, then fat can accumulate between the chest and your underarm area.

Thus, the accumulated fat in your armpit area causes a lumpy appearance.

3. Breast tissue (Axillary fat)

Breast tissue or axillary fat is also known as the axillary tail. According to recent studies, it occurs in 0.4-6% of women during pregnancy and lactation. 

 During this period, the auxiliary tail usually enlarges near your armpit area and looks lumpy. The study also mentioned that abnormal enlargement of breast tissue may cause cancer.

However, Dr. S K Wadhwa (Gynecologist) says, in most cases, it is a normal condition; no need to worry about it.

 And DR. Madhavi Rawat (Gynecologist) suggested gentle massage using warm wet compression over that area to help release the clog before breastfeeding. 

4. Sex-specific genetic effects

 Genetic factors may cause fat under your arm: If you have noticed that some of your relatives are affected by armpit fat, you are likely to have this problem.

A recent study was conducted in the UK Biobank to examine body fat distribution among 362,499 individuals. The study stated that the filling of adipose tissue in the arms is genetically sex-specific.

5. Not doing proper workouts for upper body

In everyday life, we do many styles of exercise to burn extra calories to lead a healthy life.

And the exercises we perform have a specific impact on certain places in the body. So, many areas of the body aren't affected by most of the activities we do. Hence, places like the underarm get loaded with fat.

Here are some effective examples of fat-burning underarm workouts to try.
