I believe that everyone has sweated, some people like the feeling of sweating, they think that after sweating, people are very relaxed. However, there are also people who don't like to sweat, and this kind of person feels that the body is slimy after sweating, and there is a smell of sweat, which makes people very uncomfortable. But have you ever heard that there is a correlation between sweat and longevity? Today, let's talk about "sweating".
As we all know, sweating is a physiological process of the human body, don't think that sweating is an ordinary thing, in fact, it involves the coordination and operation of multiple systems.
When a person's body temperature rises, the thermoregulatory center will issue instructions, and the sweat glands will begin to secrete sweat, and the body heat will be taken away, and the person's temperature will slowly drop.
According to relevant studies, proper sweating every day is beneficial to health. The explanation given by experts is: with a moderate amount of sweating, the toxins and metabolic wastes accumulated in the body can be discharged in time, blood circulation will be smoother, and metabolism will be improved. Therefore, people who often take the initiative to sweat appropriately tend to have better physical fitness and stronger immunity, so they have a certain positive effect on prolonging life.
However, excessive sweating is not a good thing, especially when you don't exercise, and you often sweat profusely, which is likely to cause problems in your body, which has a negative impact on your lifespan.
Specifically, excessive sweating is associated with the following two aspects:
The first is physiological
Under normal circumstances, the normal body temperature of a person is between 36-37 degrees, there are slight differences between different individuals, the temperature is high at noon, the body temperature will rise slightly, and there may be a phenomenon of temporary sweating. It is also normal to sweat a lot after exercising, sweat a lot after nightmares, and sweat more than usual when you are nervous or scared.
The second is that pathological factors cause excessive sweating
If others don't feel hot and don't sweat at all, and you always feel hot and sweaty, you should pay attention, and it is likely that there is something wrong with your body.
Yin deficiency - Compared with healthy people, people with yin deficiency are prone to sweating, and such people are also accompanied by back pain and general fatigue.
High blood sugar - When the body's blood sugar rises, the body's metabolism will be disordered, and the amount of sweating will increase significantly.
Hyperthyroidism - People with hyperthyroidism will have a very fast metabolism, at this time, the consumption of oxygen and energy substances in the human body will increase, and people will feel fatigued. When people are tired, they sweat more.
Female menopause - generally around the age of 50, the estrogen in the female body will be greatly reduced, the endocrine will be imbalanced, the skin secretion will also be affected, and hot flashes and night sweats can occur at the same time.
After sweating a lot, you must remember to drink more water, of course, you can also drink light salt water in moderation on the premise of supplementing plain water. Because after the appearance of the body, not only will the body be dehydrated, but also lose a lot of electrolytes, such as potassium will be reduced, if you only rely on plain water to quench your thirst, it is easy to lead to hypokalemia.
Potassium is a very important trace element in the body, and drinking a glass of light salt water when sweating can replenish potassium. How do you add salt? Pour 500ml of warm boiled water, add the size of mung beans (that is, about 0.1 grams of salt), boiled water will have a slightly salty taste, and then drink it in small sips and many times.
It is worth reminding that if you sweat less during the day, do not drink light salt water to avoid excessive sodium.
People who sweat a lot should eat more fresh fruits. There are many fruits in life, which are juicy and delicious, and most of them are high in potassium and low in sodium, and eating fruits regularly can improve the ratio of sodium to potassium in the body. For example, oranges, tangerines, bananas, papaya, cantaloupe, etc. can all be highly effective in potassium supplementation.
People who sweat a lot can often eat potato grains. For people who usually sweat a lot, you can replace some of the main potato grains, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, taro, etc., which are high in potassium nutrient density and rich in vitamin C. Of course, coarse grains such as millet and red beans also have a higher potassium content than rice, so they can be eaten in moderation.
In addition, laver lives in seawater, and it also contains a variety of trace elements, especially the potassium content of laver is very high, with a potassium content of 1796 mg per 100 grams of laver, and a lot of dietary fiber, which has the effect of moistening the intestines and laxative. The seaweed egg drop soup tastes good.
