Why are we sweating?

It is a natural way to cool us. Although it may feel as if sweat or sweating caused warmer, especially on warm days, without sweat, we would not be able to tolerate the heat that our bodies would produce. If we lost this physical function, we could suffer from heatstroke in hot weather. It must be burned somehow. The burning of this meal produces heat in the body that triggers our brain to start the natural process of cooling the body. Inside the human body are long, twisting cells known as sweat glands. Blood vessels in our skin have opened and the liquid is released through our pores.

There are approximately 2 million sweat glands in our body. Maybe we don't realize it, but we enjoy it, even if it's a cold day and we don't do anything specific strenuous. The body is two -thirds of water and we lose a lot of sweat every day. That is why it is so important to drink approximately 2 liters of water every day to replenish the lost fluids.

There are two different types of sweat glands: Ekcrine and Aprocrine glands. Ekcrin is more common of these two and is found in parts of the body, such as the forehead, palms of the hands and feet of the foot. Aprocrin can be found in the armpits and at the end of the hair follicles.

The sweat itself consists of different elements. The most common elements are water and sodium, otherwise known as salt. Occasionally we can have low sweat production-it happens when it is cool and relaxed. Higher sweat production occurs in very hot weather or exercise. High production contains about 20 percent more sodium than low swat production.

When we sweat, there is also a difference in chemical elements. Sweating, which is produced through the Aprocrine glands or in the armpits, will be stronger and may have a yellowish color. This is because it contains fatty acids and proteins. It is this type of sweat under the arms associated with antiperspirants that can be yellow clothing. Note when we apply deodOanty, it is only on the armpit to face the smell of apocrine sweat. Pot is actually odorless, but when it begins to decompose and is attacked by bacteria, the smell may be unpleasant.

In hot climate countries, such as India, people have a much higher intake of salt than we would be considered healthy for us. It can be assumed that this is because they lose a large amount of chemicals such as sweat salt. Sweating, although sometimes embarrassing, is a major natural body function for our survival.
