Is sweating during exercise good for your skin?

When a child has a fever, many parents will let the child lie in bed, drink a cup of hot water, cover themselves with a quilt and sweat. Their reason is that the fever will go away after sweating. I often hear from friends that sweating is good for the body and the skin, but I have never confirmed it myself. When I saw such a question today, I was full of doubts. I decided to go and listen to the experts' answers to my questions.

Most people are very afraid of sweating because sweating will make our sunscreen ineffective, deform our makeup, make our bodies sticky and uncomfortable, and sometimes even cause embarrassing body odor. In short, no one wants to sweat.

You may have learned in physiology class that sweating is a physiological phenomenon that regulates body temperature. Sweating to the limit in hot gyms and outdoor activities, and then replenishing water to ensure our bodies function normally. But in addition to this, do you know other wonderful benefits that sweating brings you? It’s okay if you don’t know. Even if you know, don’t tell me. Let me figure it out.

1. Helps Wound Healing:

Indeed, few people know that sweat glands actually help wounds close. We have millions of these exocrine sweat glands in our bodies. These sweat glands are reservoirs of adult stem cells, which can help close wounds and accelerate wound healing.

Wonderful detoxification function:

When we sweat, are we really excreting toxins from our bodies through sweat? In fact, under normal circumstances, when you sweat, you are mainly eliminating excess salt, urea, ammonia and alcohol. Excess sodium salt and toxins produced by metabolism, which are harmful to the body, can also be excreted from the body through sweat. This is what people often call detoxification.

Sweat has antibacterial properties:

Our sweat glands can secrete something called epidermal protein which has antibacterial function. I haven't learned much about it, but I know that it can help the skin improve its resistance.

Although sweating after exercise is good for the skin, prolonged sweating can cause severe dehydration in our bodies. At this time we need to replenish some water to our body, but don't drink cold water. Drinking cold water after exercise will cause physical discomfort. It is recommended that you drink warm water. Seeing the benefits of sweating to the body, do you want to move now?
