Many people want to get rid of excess fat from the body, and that includes flabby arms.
According to Healthy and Natural World, the presence of flabby arms is caused primarily by aging and body fat secondary to diet. As per the publication, the skin loses elasticity with aging, a reason why it becomes saggier. Since aging is a natural bodily process, there is not much people can do about it.
