In summer, we all hate to hide in the “air conditioning room” every day to enjoy the summer cool, but this leads to the summer should be the sweating season, but you can not sweat! There are even some people who apply antiperspirant and other products when they go out to prevent sweat from getting their clothes wet. In fact, these practices are completely against the physiological laws of the human body, and it is wrong to spend all your efforts to keep yourself from sweating. If you sweat less in the summer, you will get colds, arthritis, insomnia, and the incidence of chronic diseases such as hypertension will also rise exponentially… That’s why it’s healthiest to sweat more in summer. Let’s understand the benefits of sweating. A. 10 amazing benefits of sweating 1, detoxification and cancer prevention Sweating is the best method of detoxification and cancer prevention, active sweating can accelerate the body’s fluid circulation and metabolic process, the body’s accumulation of lactic acid, urea, ammonia and other toxins, but also to protect the nose, skin, lungs, colon this system is smooth. Research data show that sweat is one of the ways to excrete harmful substances such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury from the body, and heavy metal components can be detected in sweat in concentrations comparable to and sometimes even higher than in urine. For example, there are few marathon runners who get cancer because the main culprits of cancer, such as lead, mercury and arsenic, are excreted from their bodies through sweating. A marathon runner’s sweat during running contains 20 times more lead than a normal person. It is not enough for us to drink water to detoxify our body, so sweating is very helpful for discharging toxins and preventing cancer. 2, emollient skin care Always do not sweat people, skin metabolism is slow, some waste is difficult to discharge. Sweating can clean the pores and achieve the effect of beauty and skin care. Sweat can remove toxins that clog pores and eliminate acne and pimples on the skin. Many people often have acne, face, back, etc., which is caused by unclean skin pores and clogged pores. Summer is not as good as more exercise exercise, sweat some, you immediately back to feel the skin becomes firm and delicate, shiny, acne will also be reduced. 3, weight loss and prevention of chronic diseases When the body exercises and reach a certain intensity, fat will be burned into heat, through sweat out of the body. In addition, sweating can also consume excess energy in the body, helping to promote the decomposition of fat, there is a certain weight loss effect. Less fat in the body and blood vessels, naturally chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and heart deficiency tube diseases will also be reduced and improved. Summer itself will be more active cells, at this time to strengthen the movement, scientific sweating, the effect is usually several times, more conducive to weight loss, improve physical condition, the prevention of “three high” and other chronic diseases. 4, improve immunity Summer sweating has another amazing benefit, which is to improve the body’s immunity. Many people often eat some health care products to improve immunity, some health care products contain unknown ingredients, some health care products contain hormones, but suppress the immune system. In fact, the best way is through the science of sweating. Studies have found that the antibacterial peptides contained in sweat are effective against viruses, bacteria and fungi; sweating can effectively boost your immunity and improve your antibacterial and antiviral abilities. For example, exercise 30-45 minutes a day, the body slightly sweating, 5 days a week, long-term persistence, the immune system will be enhanced. 5, promote digestion Not sweating, blood and Qi running slow will affect digestion, resulting in people do not eat; nerve activity will also be affected, resulting in people do not sleep well at night. Many people have no appetite in the summer, not digesting and sweating less related to the best means to promote digestion is through exercise sweating. Because sweating will speed up the entire body’s metabolism, which helps intestinal peristalsis and improve digestion. Especially for people who have constipation, sweating through exercise can help relieve constipation. 6, enhance memory Sweating will also allow the body’s cells to be in a state of exuberance, keeping the mind focused, enhancing memory and making the brain more energetic. There are also studies that confirm that exercise and sweating have a positive effect on the brain, allowing a person’s memory and concentration to be greatly enhanced. 7, stable blood pressure Hypertension is a phenomenon that occurs due to the narrowing and hardening of the inner diameter of blood vessels and the restriction of blood flow per unit, exercise and sweating can expand capillaries, accelerate blood circulation, increase the elasticity of the blood vessel wall to achieve the purpose of lowering blood pressure. At the same time, exercise sweating accelerates the circulation of blood, which helps to regulate the digestive system and the nervous system. Therefore, the prevention of hypertension in addition to dietary control, sweating is the best way to heal. 8, protect the bones We all know that many people are prone to osteoporosis as soon as they get older, because of the loss of calcium in the body. So how to effectively prevent the loss of calcium? Many people think that sweating will lead to the loss of calcium in the body with sweat, in this regard, the same experts pointed out that only water-soluble vitamins will be lost with sweat, calcium, although soluble in water, but the solubility is very low, less likely to be discharged with sweat. On the contrary, sweating is conducive to the effective retention of calcium, preventing the body’s calcium from being discharged with urine and preventing osteoporosis. 9, prevent stones The formation of stones is mainly inorganic salts such as magnesium phosphate in the body crystalline deposits formed in the body. And sweating can effectively excrete body salts and retain the calcium in the bones. This physiological process limits the buildup of salt and calcium in the kidneys and urine, which is the source of stones. Not coincidentally, people who sweat more will drink more water, thus preventing the formation of stones as well. 10. Preventing colds and flu Sweating actually helps fight tuberculosis bacteria and other dangerous pathogens. Sweat contains antimicrobial peptides that are effective against viruses, bacteria and fungi; they enter the cell membranes of bacteria and break them down. 2013 research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that the skin ionoprotein is very effective against tuberculosis and other bacteria. This natural substance is more effective than antibiotics, and the natural antibiotic, dermal ionoprotein, is naturally activated in the slightly acidic sweat. The way people sweat is divided into two types: active sweating and passive sweating. 1, active sweating Active sweating mainly relies on exercise to achieve, will accelerate the body’s metabolism, promote energy consumption. For example, walking, jogging, etc. Sweating in the process of exercise is the most valuable, because this is deep sweating, due to external heat and a lot of skin sweating (such as sauna or summer heat) for superficial sweating. We do not require everyone to exercise to sweat, but can exercise to a slight sweat, a slight gasp, still can easily talk to the extent that most people are very suitable. If you have the conditions, you may want to participate in 1 to 2 times a week, such as badminton, soccer, etc., so that you can experience the feeling of “sweat” to strengthen the metabolic function of the skin. In addition, even in the hot summer, you can also be in the morning before 10:00 and after 5:00 pm in the outdoor activities, so that the body feel the temperature of nature, a slight sweat, in fact, is beneficial to health. It should be noted that more sweat hurts the body, so we can’t just ask ourselves to sweat more. Whether exercising or being outdoors in the summer, do not let yourself get too tired and weak, or even affect your appetite and sleep. People should learn to sweat reasonably as well as to hydrate reasonably. After a lot of sweating, be sure to replenish water and salt, drink light salt water or sports drinks can be. 2, passive sweating Passive sweating is through the thermal environment, to promote the body sweating, this way of sweating consumption is much smaller, suitable for the body is not suitable for exercise people. For example, foot bath, sweat, sauna, etc. Third, 5 tricks to help sweat 1, drink hot water before exercise, hot porridge Drink a cup of hot water or hot porridge before exercise, so that the pores into the state will open unopened, and then exercise for a period of time, you can let the pores all open. But after exercise must not immediately blow air conditioning, fans or take a cool shower, to patiently wait for the sweat to subside. 2, the smart use of ginger to promote sweating Ginger both warm spleen and stomach, and go table open sweat hole. People who often work in air-conditioned environments can insist on drinking ginger water, such as tea with ginger slices bubble water, ginger red dates water, etc., to promote sweating. 3, sit quietly for an hour every day regularly turn off the air conditioning, sit quietly for an hour to develop the body’s ability to actively sweat. 4, 15 minutes in the sun The summer sun is the best motivation for the body to sweat, should be 9 to 10 a.m. or 4 to 5 p.m. every day, about 15 minutes in the sun. 5, self-heating You can use hot water bags, baby warmers, etc. stick on the knee, so that the body heat transfer, heat deep into the skin, or hot water soaking feet can achieve the same effect. In addition to people suffering from serious diseases such as heart failure, most people are suitable for active sweating according to their own physical conditions. It is important to note that you should not just pursue more sweating, and don’t make yourself too tired and exhausted from outdoor activities. After sweating, do not drink ice-cold drinks, to properly supplement the normal temperature of plain water or light salt water, a small number of intake. The old people often say, “sweat does not flow, the disease to rush white head”, the summer should be more sweat. There is also an old saying, “no oven in winter, no fan in summer”. It means that in winter, do not be too close to the stove, otherwise it will make the Yang Qi is disturbed. In summer, do not fan hard, should let the body sweat naturally. People themselves should be to follow nature, to receive the stimulation of cold in winter and experience the heat in summer, so that the body sweats more. And now we go everywhere in the summer is air conditioning, and most of the winter and stay in the heated room, too comfortable to live, the body will naturally go wrong. Cold winter and hot summer is a natural law, the most important thing is to follow the four seasons, but modern people live like anti-seasonal vegetables, warm in winter and cool in summer. We all know that the taste of such dishes is not good, it can be seen that such “anti-seasonal” lifestyle, can not shape a healthy body. Summer sweating is a natural way of health care given to us by God, so summer should let yourself sweat profusely, the body is painful! Don’t sweat when you should sweat, medical bills will cost you thousands of dollars.
