I sweat a lot in the summer

Summer is a season when the body is prone to various problems. In particular, people's body temperature regulation system is most likely to change, which has a greater impact on physical health. For example, a normal physiological phenomenon such as sweating is prone to abnormalities in summer, and excessive sweating is a common typical manifestation. Let's take a look at why we sweat a lot in the summer? I hope everyone can understand it.

When the temperature is high, the body's metabolism speeds up, and sweating to dissipate heat is a normal instinctive reaction of the body, which is called physiological sweating. Abnormal pathological sweating reflects various abnormal conditions of physical health and should be treated with caution and as soon as possible. During the day, if you are not active and you still sweat even when you sit quietly, and if you move, you sweat profusely, which is called "spontaneous sweating". At night, if you sweat unconsciously while sleeping and stop sweating on its own when you wake up, it is called "night sweats". These are the two most common types of abnormal sweating, which are pathological sweating and require differentiation between yin and yang, deficiency and excess. Generally speaking, sweating syndrome is more common in deficiency syndrome, but when it is caused by the accumulation of evil heat such as liver fire, damp heat, etc., it is an excess syndrome.

When using air conditioning in midsummer, it is recommended that the indoor temperature should not be lower than 26 degrees Celsius to avoid masking some early symptoms without knowing it. "Moving sweat" is the most valuable. Moving sweat means that the sweat produced during exercise is the most valuable because it is deep sweating. Excessive sweating of the skin caused by high external temperature (such as steaming in a sauna or high temperature in summer) is superficial sweating. For most people, being able to exercise to the point where you sweat slightly, breathe slightly, and can still have a relaxed conversation is suitable. If you have the conditions, you may wish to participate in activities that require a lot of exercise 1 to 2 times a week, such as badminton, football, etc., so that you can experience the feeling of "sweating profusely" to enhance the skin's metabolic function. "In addition, even in the hot summer, you can do some outdoor activities before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m. to let your body feel the temperature of nature and sweat a little, which is actually good for your health."

It should be noted that excessive sweating will damage body fluids, so we cannot blindly ask ourselves to sweat more. Whether you are exercising or doing outdoor activities in the summer, do not let yourself become too tired or weak, which may affect your appetite and sleep. As a reminder, after sweating a lot, you must replenish water and salt. You can drink light salt water or sports drinks.
