What are the benefits of exercise for the skin

More and more people pay attention to skin care issues, and often use some skin care products to make their skin better. It is well known that skin care products only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, and skin care products cannot be stopped from use. Once used, many people's skin will return to its original state. Most people don't know that exercise is good for the skin. It not only allows people to safely excrete toxins from the body, but also allows people to have good skin.

What are the benefits of sweating? Are exercises that involve a lot of sweat good for the body?

It is reported that movement is actually the contraction activity of skeletal muscles. When skeletal muscles contract, metabolism is enhanced, heat production increases, and body temperature rises. Under normal circumstances, human body temperature is generally maintained at around 37°C. If the body temperature rises, the body must find a way to cool it down in order to maintain the stability of the internal environment and ensure that physiological and biochemical activities proceed normally. Sweating is the most effective way for the body to lower its temperature.

Excessive sweating reduces exercise capacity.

Some people believe that sweat can excrete metabolic waste from the body and has a detoxifying effect, so they think the more they sweat, the better. Sweat actually comes from blood and contains certain blood components. When you sweat, some water evaporates, but solid substances such as protein and amino acids remain on the surface of the skin. Through the action of microorganisms on the skin surface, some substances with a sweat acid smell can be produced, so some people think that sweat is not clean. In fact, in addition to some metabolic waste, sweat also contains many substances that are useful to the body, such as minerals, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, etc. As you lose these nutrients in sweat, they are also lost.

Therefore, we don’t need to worry too much about a small amount of sweating, but we should not take a large amount of sweating lightly. Because excessive sweating reduces body fluids, if fluids are not replenished in time, it can lead to a decrease in blood volume, an increase in heart rate, a decrease in sweating rate, a decrease in heat dissipation ability, an increase in body temperature, and an imbalance of the body's electrolytes and acid-base balance, causing dehydration and even heat stroke in severe cases. Dehydration affects the physiological functions of some major organs of the body, such as increased burden on the heart and damage to the kidneys. A large loss of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium can lead to neuromuscular system disorders, causing symptoms such as muscle weakness and muscle cramps. Dehydration can also reduce athletic ability and cause fatigue.

There is a science to replenishing water after sweating

When we know the possible harm that excessive sweating can cause to the body's health, we will naturally come to the answer: we should replenish fluids after sweating. So, how should we replenish it? What should we replenish? Generally speaking, if the amount of sweating is not large, common beverages such as mineral water, boiled water, tea, carbonated drinks, juice, mung bean soup, milk, sports drinks, etc. can be supplemented. If you sweat a lot, it is best to supplement with sports drinks, salt water, vegetable soup, etc. containing a certain amount of electrolytes. Do not drink plain water alone when sweating heavily to avoid hyponatremia.

Through the above understanding of the benefits of exercise for the skin, those who do not have very good skin can completely improve their skin through exercise. Although skin care products may not necessarily have an effect, exercise will definitely play some role. When buying skin care products on the market, you must also pay special attention and be sure to read the substances contained in the skin care products. It is best not to buy those containing chemical substances.
