Facts About Sweating
Sweating is the body’s natural cooling mechanism, primarily regulated by the hypothalamus in response to increased body temperature. When we exercise, are exposed to heat, or experience stress, our sweat glands produce moisture, primarily composed of water and electrolytes. As sweat evaporates from the skin’s surface, it cools the body down, helping to maintain a stable internal temperature. Additionally, sweating plays a role in flushing out toxins and maintaining skin health. It’s an essential process for thermoregulation, ensuring that our body functions optimally in varying environmental conditions and during physical exertion.
