Sweating was originally a very ordinary little thing.
But in the eyes of those so-called "health enthusiasts", sweating gives an extraordinary mission, especially detoxification.
It seems that sweating can eliminate toxins in the body and eliminate metabolism in the body, so it is advocating various "sweating winds", and it seems that running in a cotton jacket on hot days can better discharge toxins in the body.
Sweating, can it really detoxify?
There is an old saying that has been repeated many times, but every time it has to be said often---- people are really not so poisonous to drain!
Sweat itself is a liquid secreted by the sweat glands, generally due to excessive temperature outside, or a natural physiological phenomenon caused by increased heat production in the body and caused by thermal stimulation.
Proper sweating can play a role in regulating body temperature and dissipating heat, and no matter what way of sweating, 99% of it is water, and the rest of the ingredients account for less than 1%, and the human body is really not so toxic to excrete.
In addition, other components here are mainly sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine, urea nitrogen, etc., and the only thing that can be related to poison is urea nitrogen, but people mainly excrete the human body through urination.
As for the amount of sweat, it is almost negligible.
Sweating a lot, does it mean that the body is good?
There are two causes of sweating:
First, physiological sweating
For example, when the amount of exercise is relatively large, a large amount of heat energy will be generated inside the body, causing people to sweat a lot; Being in a sweltering or hot environment can also make people sweat a lot.
In this state, the human body can take out excess heat in the body by sweating, which can achieve the role of regulating body temperature and promoting the excretion of skin metabolites.
Second, pathological sweating
Complications of some diseases can be accompanied by sweating.
For example, when there are some mental and psychological diseases, or when the blood sugar is too high, the blood sugar is too low, and the problems of insufficient qi and blood, it will cause people to sweat a lot.
This large amount of sweating is a pathological reaction, once this phenomenon occurs, it means that the physical condition has changed, then it is not a manifestation of physical health.
Even if it is due to environmental factors or sports factors caused by sweating, if you sweat a lot in a short period of time, it will cause relatively large damage to the body.
What are the effects of sweating a lot in a short period of time on the body?
1. Causes water shortage
99% of the composition of sweat is water in the body.
If the body sweats too much, such as deliberately carrying out a lot of exercise, or deliberately in a sweltering environment, it will make the water in the body evaporate rapidly in a short period of time, resulting in a large amount of water shortage in the human body.
It will not only cause people to have a dry mouth and tongue, but also lead to an increase in blood viscosity, slow down the blood flow rate, affect the blood supply of the heart, brain and various organs, so that people have physical weakness, dizziness and chest tightness and other discomfort.
2. Cause water electrolyte disorders
In addition to moisture in sweat, there are also some substances such as sodium chloride, urea nitrogen, lactic acid, potassium and so on.
If you sweat a lot in a short period of time, it will lead to water and electrolyte disorders in the body, such as sodium metabolism disorders, potassium metabolism disorders and other phenomena.
It is easy to cause patients to have muscle cramps, irritability, nausea and vomiting, as well as confusion, palpitations or hypotension, which are a great threat to health and even life.
Even if you sweat a lot, it is actually quite normal
Whether you sweat a lot or sweat less, as long as the body feels comfortable, it is normal.
Easy to sweat really can not represent the body "virtual", most of the situation is the human body self-regulation, drink water in time, no need to worry too much.
As for watching others sweat often, they don't sweat much, they always feel that they sweat less and are always worried, in fact, don't scare yourself, maybe it's just that people's sweat glands are more developed.
It is actually rare to sweat, or rarely sweat, except that taking medicine may reduce sweating, or some rare inherited skin diseases, neurological diseases, or large scarring.
If you really reach this step, most of the body will have obvious discomfort, it is estimated that everyone has already seen a doctor.
