After reading Sarah Everts's book "Happy Sweat - Wonderful Sweat Science", I realized that sweat originally hides so many secrets.
This is a popular science book. The author of this article, Sarah Everts, is an American science journalist. He has written for many publishing houses such as "Scientific American ", "News Scientist" and "Economist".
more than ten years ago. She left the field of biochemistry and began to work in journalists' reporting. He has been interviewed by Public Radio and Television Station in the United States and is called "sweat expert" by " New York Times " magazine and other media organizations.
Let us walk into this popular science journey of "Happy Sweat" with curiosity!
01. Why do some people produce colorful sweat
1996, in Cape Town, South Africa, a woman went to a dermatology department for treatment. She described her symptoms: her sweat was red, which scared her. Her job is a nurse, and this job is to keep it clean, but as long as she sweats, her clothes will be dyed red by sweat.
Dermatologists have seen various difficult and complicated diseases, but red sweating is rare. They conducted a full-body examination of the female nurse, and although the sweat was red, she was in good health. After trying to observe and treat, this situation did not improve.
By chance, they found the source of red sweat.
The cause is that once, when the nurse came to the clinic again, the dermatologist found a brown-red stain on her fingers. After investigation, it was found a spicy tomato snack. This nurse is very obsessed with this snack and sometimes eats five or six bags a day, which lasts for half a year.
In order to confirm the conjecture, they found the manufacturer of this snack. After testing, it was found that one of the ingredients of this snack was consistent with the red sweat component. The reason why
expels pink sweat is because the nurse uses a lot of this snack in a short period of time. After quitting this food, her sweat returned to normal.
Sweat will reveal our body's bad habits, so there are the colorful sweat occasionally produced by humans and animals.
02 Why do you sweat after exercise?
When exercising, muscle heat production will increase, and once this increase in heat production cannot be dispersed in time, the body temperature will rise. Under normal circumstances, the greater the exercise load and the longer the duration, the more sweat it will be.
Knowing the above principle of sweating, you will understand that sweating is just a manifestation of the enhancement of metabolism in the human body. The key to sweating lies in the oxygen intake.
Now many weight loss institutions are advocating a systematic project and exercise of "sweating and losing weight", such as: high-temperature yoga , etc.
They promote the exercise and weight loss, fat will be discharged from the body with sweat. The more you sweat, the faster you lose.
But the fact is that once a person starts to sweat, it proves that the body's overreaction and overcompensation to the high-temperature environment.
This is just a long-term sacrifice for the short-term survival rate. If the body temperature is not reduced by sweating, people are very likely to face the risk of long-term dehydration.
In order to save yourself, the body has to choose to use enough sweat to evaporate the body's heat.
Sweat is a necessary process to cool the body. When your body starts to overheat, nervous system will stimulate the sweat glands to release sweat.
So there is no direct connection between how much sweating and how much weight loss.
03 Why do you sweat when you are under great pressure?
Have you ever had such an experience? When you are very nervous and anxious, you often sweat your palms and body.
This is because when we are emotionally fluctuating or mentally nervous, all the sweat glands in our body will open and circulate in our body.
This phenomenon was caused by our ancestors during the evolutionary period when they were nervous and afraid of preying on our carnivores, and they had "stress sweat".
Although the human living environment has been improved now, our bodies still retain this mechanism during the evolution process.
When you expect the danger to come, or if there is an emergency, you will turn on "pressure sweat" in advance.
This is a silent but powerful odor warning. It can predict that our bodies will run away soon, so the cooling mechanism is turned on in advance.
After understanding this principle, when you encounter the same situation again, remind yourself to relax and slowly overcome this nervous state.
