Reasons for sweating
The human body temperature is constant, generally maintained at about 37°C, mainly controlled by the thermoregulatory center of the nervous system, so that the body maintains a relative balance between heat production and heat dissipation. In fact, there is no human being who does not sweat.
When people eat, the energy released through digestion and absorption is partly converted into people’s work energy, and partly dissipated to the outside world in the form of heat, in the process of heat dissipation, the body is able to maintain a certain body temperature.
