Sweating is a very common thing.
But in folklore, sweating is given an unusual mission.
For example, sweating and detoxifying, sweating in different parts can reflect visceral problems… I feel that the majority of Han people do not dare to sweat indiscriminately.
Are these statements true or false? Today we invite professional doctors to talk.

Can sweat detoxify?
In particular, I would like to tell you a word: people really don’t have so much poison to dispose of.
No matter how what sweats, 99% of them are water, and other ingredients account for less than 1%. There is really no poison.
Other components here include sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine and urea nitrogen, of which urea nitrogen is probably the only one that can be associated with toxicity.
However, urea nitrogen is mainly discharged from the human body through urine, and the amount of sweat is really negligible.
The sweat on your forehead is different from the sweat on your lips?
Can a person still produce two kinds of water?
In fact, there is no difference between the sweat on the forehead and the sweat on the lips, 99% of which is water.
Some people sweat more on their foreheads and lips when they are nervous, stressed, or when they eat some stimulating food, and the increase in sweat varies from individual to individual.
Some people are particularly obvious, while others are not very obvious. This does not indicate health problems and is a normal physiological phenomenon.
Palms and soles love sweating, indicating internal organs have problems?
It sounds that people have their own navigation system on their skin, and where there is a problem, it is reflected, and the positioning is more accurate than GPS…
If this is the case, there is no need for a doctor to diagnose it.
The palms and soles of the feet are the places where sweat glands are most densely distributed, so sweating in these two places is very normal and does not indicate any problems in the body.
In addition, from a medical point of view, there is no visceral disease that can be manifested as sweating on the palms and soles of the feet.
There is a phenomenon of simple increase in sweating, called primary hyperhidrosis, which refers to excessive sweating in palms, soles of feet and armpits.
Primary hyperhidrosis is a skin problem determined by genes, and there are also great individual differences. Some people have obvious symptoms, while others have relatively mild symptoms.
Love to sweat on your back, which indicates that you are extremely tired?
Sweating on the back can only show that the back skin is sweating.
As long as the sweat glands on the back are working normally, the back will sweat, which has nothing to do with physical fatigue.
In fact, the number of sweat glands on the back is not small, and it is at the middle level in the skin on the body surface.
However, the area of the back is relatively large. When the human body needs to sweat to regulate its body temperature, the total amount of sweat discharged from the back is still relatively large, so it is completely normal for the back to sweat more.
Of course, if you just finished exercising and sweat a lot, you should also rest.
How much sweat is normal?
Usually sweat more or less, in most cases is the body’s self-regulation, don’t worry too much.
Generally speaking, as long as the body is comfortable, it is normal to sweat more or less. Easy sweating really does not mean that the body is [weak], so it is good to drink water in time.
As for people who watch others sweat often, don’t sweat very much, and always feel that they sweat less and are on tenterhooks, don’t scare yourself.
You may just have fewer sweat glands and more air conditioner remote control than others.
On Sweating, Three Problems Should Be Paid Attention to
Usually sweating more or less, in most cases is the body’s self-regulation, don’t worry too much. Unless it is the following situations:
1. Sweat and fever at the same time
If you sweat a lot while accompanied by fever (fever), or at normal temperature, sweat is so much that you can soak quilts and sheets to the extent that you must replace them, then there may be other problems and you need to go to the hospital for further examination.
2. Sweat to a certain extent
If the weather is not hot but there is still a lot of sweat, it will affect normal life, such as:
- Some teenagers are very nervous during the examination, and the sweat from their palms can soak the examination paper. Adults sweat on their hands, feet and armpits, accompanied by severe sweat odor. At normal room temperature, after sleeping, the sheets are soaked (probably the so-called [night sweat]).
These situations are sweaty and require help from a professional doctor.
2. Little or no sweat
Less sweating is relatively rare. Besides taking medicine may reduce sweating, it may also be caused by some rare hereditary skin diseases, neurological diseases or large scars.
However, if this step is reached, the body will basically suffer from other more obvious discomfort at the same time. It is estimated that everyone knows to see a doctor.
The last thing I want to say is that summer is almost over, and it is difficult to sweat next. Seize the opportunity and exercise more and sweat more.
