Sweat production is affected fitness levels. After finishing move, the body will be heat and sweaty. This sweat is serves to cool your body. According to the International Hyperhidrosis Society, the athletes sweat more than others because the athlete's body has to adjust itself to maintain its body temperature to keep them cool by increasing the amount of sweat. The same study also published in the Journal of Experimental Physiology, which says that when the body is feeling unwell and her temperature heat, the sweat gland activity will work harder to produce more sweat than healthy people.
Men sweat more than women. According to David Pariser, MD, secretary of the International Hyperhidrosis Society, men sweaty four times or more a day. Both men and women have the same number of sweat glands, but the larger male sweat glands so that sweat produced was also more. Larger body also affects the more surface area to be cooled, and in addition it also causes male hormonal variations sweat more. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Physiology found that in healthy men and women also produce a different amount of sweat.
Two types of sweat. You may assume that all the sweat is the same. But Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, director of the Center for Excessive Sweating center reveals, there are two types of sweat, the sweat produced by glands ekrin, and produced by apocrine glands.
Ekrin gland responsible for producing "sweat" water which is composed largely of water and salt. These glands are found throughout the body, but usually concentrated on the hands, feet and face. This serves to cool the sweat of your body, either because of sports or hot temperatures.
While the apocrine glands produce less sweat, and located where there are hair follicles (one in the armpit), and usually sweat is odorless because it is often exposed to bacteria that cause odor. Consequently, we smell the sweat that stung.
Sweat as a stress signal. Do not think that facial expressions, body language, and voice is the only way that can express your feelings. The sweat that comes out of the body is also one sign that you're stressed. If you are sweating due to stress, then you do not realize that you can submit a tension for those around you.
"When you're stressed, would sweat out through both of these glands. However, apocrine glands which causes the smell of sweat will work first," said Dr. Pariser. In other words, when you feel stressed, you will emit the scent of sweat that can be smelled by others.
A study published in the journal PLoS One (scientific journal published by the Public Library of Science) indicate a change in brain activity when participants smelled the sweat of others in a given situation. This will cause them to raise awareness of a condition they would have done.
Excessive sweating can be a disease. One thing that is excessive is not good. According to Dr Karamanoukian, about 1-3 percent of people around the world have hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating because sweat glands are overactive. Although the exact cause of hyperhidrosis is unknown, the symptoms of excessive sweating began since their teens.
"People will be sweating for no apparent reason, and it makes no difference if they are in the room is cool or hot, stressed or relaxed. The areas most affected by hyperhidrosis are the armpits, hands, feet and face," he added. However, hyperhidrosis can be treated with a variety of ways, such as using deodorants, botox, liposuction, and so forth.
Sweat can be controlled. Deodorants typically contain aluminum or zirconian as their active ingredient. Both of these materials after contact with water will clog and stop the sweat glands to produce sweat glands.
"Antiperspirant most effective when applied to dry skin. If you are using this antiperspirant in the morning, you will definitely be sweaty or wet armpits," said Dr. Pariser.
If skin surface is wet, a chemical reaction that formed from aluminum in deodorants will occur on the skin surface and not in the pores. Instead, use this deodorant at night when sweat production is at its lowest. Even this deodorant will still work when you shower the next morning and could last for several days.
