We have all heard that sweating is good for us. But we may not realize how and why it is good for us. I know that excessive sweating can be annoying, but sweating some is necessary and good for us. Listed below are 4 ways in which sweating is healthy.
1. Sweat helps to eliminate unhealthy toxins from the body. These toxins can cause diseases over time. Sweating also cleans the pores in the skin, and helps to reduce black heads and acne which can be very embarrassing.
2. Our bodies need fresh water to help to replenish the body, and sweating helps to remove the old sweat to make room for the new. Sweating also helps to control the body temperature when it is hot and while exercising, thus it helps prevent against heat stroke.
3. Sweat in the palm of the hands helps one get a better grip on things. It also helps to keep the skin soft and young. Sweat can protect one from harmful toxins, or chemicals in the environment by diluting the body with sweat as the body comes into contact with the toxins. Sweat also produces an antibiotic that can help to kill harmful bacteria.
4. Sweating combined with exercise creates hormones which help to make one feel good. This can work as a natural antidepressant.
From the points above it should be apparent that sweating has its benefits. Yet, excessive sweating can cause many health problems such as dehydration and body odor.
