Sweating is a very important process for our body and affects much more than you might think. Sweating regulates body temperature, it can be considered as air conditioning of the body and sweat as a cooling liquid. We can influence the way sweat glands work. The human body has two types of sweat glands: eccrine, which secrete a mixture of water and ions, and apocrine, which contain a higher proportion of proteins and fats and are especially active in stressful situations. If sweating is really causing you difficulties in your daily life, consult your doctor for possible solutions. Otherwise, grab your water bottle and run outside. Enjoy your sweat and be grateful that your body is doing its job.
Benefits of sweating:
Clearer skin: When we sweat, the accumulated toxins are excreted from the body and at the same time our pores in the skin are opened. That's when cleaning the skin is most effective, but if you don't wash the sweat off your face, the opposite problem can occur, clogging the pores with impurities that you eliminate by sweating.
Sweat protects against infections: Together with sweat, the substance dermicidin is secreted, which our body produces constantly and which can kill some harmful bacteria.
Pheromones: Sweat is responsible for two people becoming attractive or not. Simply put, they either smell or they don't. It works in the same way as when a male butterfly or insect lures his female to a "nice" evening.
