If you keep wiping your sweat like this, you may get sick

Sweating in summer is something that people are very familiar with. This is because the temperature is relatively high in summer, and the human body will secrete sweat to regulate its own body temperature, and reduce the body temperature to normal levels through the evaporation of sweat. So, these little drops of sweat exist to cool the human body, so how do we deal with them?

In the hot summer, people tend to feel irritable. When the human body sweats, it feels like a layer of plastic film is applied to the body, and the wet and sticky sweat drops make the body feel more uncomfortable. Therefore, many people habitually wipe their sweat to instantly relieve themselves from the state of sweating. Although the body is dry and the senses are comfortable, from a health perspective, this practice is not recommended.

This is because, in the hot summer, the human body's sweat glands secrete sweat, and the evaporation of sweat will take away the body's heat, thereby helping the body to achieve a cooling effect. When the ambient temperature is close to or higher than the human body temperature, heat dissipation through evaporation of sweat becomes the only way for the human body to dissipate heat under high temperature conditions. According to medical common sense, every time 1 ml of sweat evaporates from the human body, 0.58 kilocalories of heat can be taken away. This shows that the contribution of sweat evaporation to the body's heat dissipation cannot be underestimated. So, if a person wipes the sweat immediately when sweating profusely, the body's heat dissipation mechanism will be blocked halfway. At this time, the internal temperature of the body is still high, and the sweat glands need to continue to secrete more sweat. Not only does this approach fail to help the body cool down quickly, but it will cause the body to lose more salt and vitamins, which is not good for human health.

When the human body sweats in the summer, the capillaries of the human body expand, the pores enlarge, and the blood circulation accelerates. If you take a cold shower or drink ice water because you want to stay cool, it will easily cause the body's capillaries to suddenly contract and the sweat pores to close. At this time, a large amount of blood will flow back to the heart, which not only increases the burden on the heart, but also causes symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Sweat gland blockage can also easily cause the body to catch cold and catch a cold.

Therefore, people should take a proper rest after sweating profusely, and wait until their body temperature returns to normal and the sweat dries before taking a shower. This not only provides the body with a buffering process, but also allows the body to adjust its body temperature to normal through sufficient sweating. In this regard, I just want to say that it is easy to sweat but difficult to cool down, so wipe it off and be careful. Warm reminder: you can drink a small amount of warm salt water several times 10 minutes after sweating. The purpose is to replenish the salt lost through sweating. You can drink more water after half an hour to meet the metabolic needs of various organs of the human body. In addition to replenishing water, don't forget to replenish water-soluble vitamins such as potassium and vitamin C that are essential to the human body.
