How do people sweat

In the hot summer, people always sweat profusely because of the high temperature. In this case, not only will the body suffer from severe dehydration, but it will also be easy to get inflamed. However, sweating is the body's way of regulating itself in the face of high temperatures. Nowadays, people always hide in air-conditioned rooms during the hot summer to avoid sweating profusely. However, this will lead to some patients suffering from air-conditioning disease, so many people still want to know how people sweat?

Humans are homeothermic animals, and various life activities can proceed normally only when the body temperature is around 37℃. There are approximately 2 to 5 million sweat glands throughout the skin, which serve as the body's "natural air conditioner." When the temperature rises to 33℃, the sweat glands, the "air conditioner", start to start and secrete sweat. When the temperature is above 33℃, sweating increases. It has been measured that each milliliter of sweat can take away 580 calories. In this way, the body's heat production (or heat radiation) and heat dissipation can be in a balanced state, maintaining a constant body temperature. Otherwise, if the sweat glands do not secrete sweat when the temperature is higher than 33°C or the body temperature exceeds 37°C, the heat accumulated in the body will gradually increase, causing the body temperature to rise. When the body temperature rises above 40°C, the activity of enzymes, important biological catalysts in the body, will be destroyed.

Benefits of sweating

1. Sweating can beautify your skin

Sweating is a natural beauty treatment for the human body. It helps to excrete toxins accumulated in the body.

Those who deliberately avoid sweating in pursuit of comfort miss the opportunity to detoxify.

Sweat contains "lactic acid", which can combine with fatty acids secreted by the human body to form a natural bactericidal agent to prevent bacterial invasion and thus protect the skin.

Sweating can also clean the pores of the skin, because the oil secreted by the skin will clog the pores, which will cause blackheads and acne over time.

In summer, many people will find that their skin becomes brighter and smoother. This is because they sweat in the summer.

There are also many female friends who dislike sweating, thinking that sweat is sticky and will cause acne on their faces.

In fact, the pimples on the face are caused by clogged pores on the face. Sweating is actually beneficial to skin beauty.

2. Can expel toxins

The human body secretes a large amount of metabolic substances every day, and various toxins are also produced. If it cannot be discharged in time, a lot of diseases will occur.

Zhang Zihe, a famous doctor in ancient my country, once said in his theory that "internal toxins can be expelled externally, evil spirits can be eliminated and the body can be restored, and diseases can be cured by themselves." The "internal toxins can be expelled externally" here refers to the three major excretory systems of the human body: urinary tract, large intestine, and skin. The skin's job is to sweat, which helps to expel harmful substances such as carbon dioxide and excess water from the body.

Every adult has 2 to 5 million sweat pores all over the body.

Every adult has 2 million to 5 million sweat pores all over the body, so when the body temperature rises to a certain temperature, the sweat pores will open, just like opening windows for ventilation in life, so that toxins in the body will be discharged through sweat, and harmful substances in the body will be killed at this time, so as to give the human body a major cleaning, protect the human organs from toxins, and beautify the skin. This is why the human body feels refreshed after sweating during exercise.

But in real life, many people, especially middle-aged people, seldom exercise due to busy work, burden of life or laziness. Even if they exercise occasionally, they cannot sweat at all. Toxins accumulate in the body. Over time, the human body will often suffer from sub-health conditions such as dizziness and fatigue. Effective exercise and reasonable tourmaline steaming are for a more effective life.

3. It can control blood pressure

It has long been known to the public that sweating can detoxify, beautify, and lose weight, but few people know its benefits for high blood pressure. In fact, the reason is very simple. Hypertension is a "high blood pressure" phenomenon caused by the narrowing of the inner diameter of blood vessels and the restriction of unit blood flow. Physical exercise can dilate capillaries, accelerate blood circulation, and increase the elasticity of blood vessel walls, thereby effectively relieving blood vessel pressure and lowering blood pressure. This effect has been confirmed by thousands of hypertensive patients.

Many antihypertensive drugs have side effects and are very irritating to the stomach. Especially for those who already have stomach problems, taking antihypertensive drugs for a long time is like adding insult to injury. Therefore, many smart patients with hypertension have found another way. They insist on physical exercise and sweat at least once a day. Their blood pressure will soon drop, and the dosage of medication can be reduced by at least half, or some may not even need to take medication anymore.

4. Helps promote digestion

If you do not sweat for a long time, the circulation of qi and blood will slow down, which will affect the body's digestion and make you lose your appetite. Furthermore, the body's nervous activity will also be greatly affected, leading to indigestion.

After reading the above introduction on how people sweat and how sweating helps the body, are you surprised that sweating has so many benefits? Sweating itself is a way of regulating your health, so don't hide away when the weather is hot. Occasionally basking in the sun can be very helpful to your body.
