1. Detoxification and cancer prevention: Sweat is one of the ways for the human body to excrete harmful substances such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. In sweat, heavy metal components with the same concentration as urine can be detected, and sometimes the concentration is even higher than urine. Therefore, sweating can excrete toxins from the body to a certain extent, which is helpful to prevent cancer.
2. Moisturizing and skin care: Sweat can remove toxins that block pores and eliminate acne and acne on the skin. For people who often have acne, sweating can improve the skin condition and make the skin firm, delicate and shiny.
3. Lose weight and prevent chronic diseases: Sweating can consume excess energy of the body and help promote the decomposition of fat. To some extent, this can help control weight and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
4. Improve immunity: Antibacterial peptides contained in sweat can effectively resist viruses, bacteria and fungi. Sweating can effectively enhance your immunity and improve your antibacterial and antiviral abilities.
5. Enhance memory: Exercise and sweating can make human cells in a vigorous state, maintain mental concentration and enhance memory. At the same time, exercise sweating will have a positive effect on the brain, which can improve attention and memory.
However, it should be noted that although sweating has certain benefits, excessive sweating may bring negative effects to the body. Excessive sweating in hot weather may lead to dehydration and even heatstroke. In addition, there is almost no fat in sweat, and simple hyperhidrosis can't help the body "excrete fat" and play a role in losing weight.
The main way to lose weight is through scientific exercise and diet control. During exercise, the body will consume energy, including nutrients such as fat and carbohydrates. This consumption mainly occurs in muscles, not through perspiration. Therefore, the effect of losing weight by exercise is remarkable, and the method of losing weight by sweating alone is not scientific.
Generally speaking, proper sweating is beneficial, but it is not the main way to lose weight.
