How To Reduce Upper Arm Fat By Working Differently

April 23, 2010 | Posted by Katherine Crawford

The surprising response is that yes, your work could be causing some degree of upper arm fat accumulation. After all, some convincing research has showed a conclusive link between workplace conditions and BMI.

We know this because of some exhaustive research done in the UK. This research demonstrated that too much stress at work is related to poor nutrition, less activity and more fat!

So here is what to look out for at your job:

1. Lack of control. Not being in control is a primary cause of work related stress. And the stress causes your body to secrete hormones which lead to more arm fat accumulation.

2. Excess tenseness. If you feel like you are in a constant state of tension, stress hormones are going to flood your body. And said hormones can alter levels of arm fat. One simple test is to assess how stiff your neck muscles are.

3. Clarity of given tasks. If the work you are supposed to do is unclear, stress will rise. Ask your superiors for more clearly defined work. State how your productivity will increase and never point fingers. After all, finger pointing will only increase work-related stress.

4. Job status. If you have a higher position within your company, you are more likely to be healthier. And if you can’t reach the top rungs at your workplace, seek out activities outside of work in which you can have a dominant role.

5. Identity crisis. If your job is your identity, you run the risk of emotional roller coasters. Again, seek out activities outside of work so that you don’t fall into this trap. This is one of the main reasons why so many successful businessmen commit suicide once their operations flop.

I would like to point out that there is only so much you can do. If you find that your workplace is simply not healthy, then please start taking the necessary steps for a transition. You deserve good health today, not tomorrow. And you just might find that the upper arm fat melts like butter!
