Fat on the back of the arms or on the back is generally not as problematic: Ayurveda is more concerned with fat concentrated disproportionately in the hips, belly, and thighs. Unequal distribution of fat is a sign of circulatory problems. Often either the blood is congested or restricted (apple shape fat), or it is congested with heat, causing fluid stagnation in the legs (pear shape). When fat is on the arms and back, this is generally indicates well-distributed fat, which is the healthiest kind and indicates a true "kapha" body type, as opposed to a dual kapha-pitta or kapha-vata type.
