Many of us get annoyed when we start sweating on the treadmill, in front of an audience or on a hot day. However, sweating is less of a nuisance — and more of a convenience — than you might think. For instance, sweating regulates your body temperature in high heat and emotional situations. In fact, just a small bead of sweat can chill a liter of blood by one degree. And, it can lead to healthier skin. Here’s how.
-Sweating flushes out toxins
Would you believe that 30 percent of the body’s toxins are eliminated through sweating? According to The Detox Book: How to Detoxify Your Body to Improve Your Health, Stop Disease, and Reverse Aging, sweating not only removes uric acid and metabolic waste, but also sebum, dirt and other impurities that can clog pores, cause skin damage and accelerate the aging process.
Just make sure you wash the impurities away with a quality cleanser. Cleansing also reduces bacteria, which cause the smell we all know and don’t love — body odor.
-Sweating reduces acne
Like working out? Experts say that regular workouts boost sweating, which can improve your skin, helping with breakouts and unclogging pores, according to WebMD.
“In the long run, people who exercise have a better complexion overall. If they have acne, it’s better controlled, and if they have occasional breakouts, they are definitely less severe and clear quicker and easier,” David Goldberg, M.D., clinical professor of dermatology at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York City, tells WebMD.
Interestingly, exercise might also have anti-aging benefits. According to Dr. Goldberg, regular exercise delivers oxygen and other nutrients to your skin cells, which is ideal for collagen production.
Stop sitting & start sweating!
