Introduction: "It is better to invite people to eat than to invite people to sweat", which shows that more and more people realize the benefits of sweating, but it is also sweating. Some people will be harmful to health, while others will sweat for health.

Modern people sweat too passively.

There are two ways to sweat: active sweating and passive sweating. When waiting for the bus after work, the clothes were soaked by the sun; Being troubled by work pressure, I am agitated and anxious, and I am so anxious that sweat seeps from my forehead slightly; Sauna with friends, sweating in a sultry environment ... most of these sweating methods are passive.

Generally speaking, sweating caused by weather, environment or psychological pressure is called passive sweating, and only sweating caused by exercise is active sweating. According to the survey, only 28.2% people can exercise regularly in both urban and rural areas. This shows that the main sweating mode of modern people is passive sweating.

There are also differences between moving sweat and static sweat in Chinese medicine. Sweating caused by weather and environment belongs to static sweating, which is equivalent to passive sweating. Many abnormal static sweating needs attention, such as spontaneous sweating and night sweats. Some people sweat on their foreheads and backs when they are not hot or exercising, and are prone to fatigue, colds and palpitations, especially afraid of the wind and cold. This is called spontaneous sweating, which is a manifestation of qi deficiency. Sweating when you fall asleep at night is called night sweats, which is a manifestation of yin deficiency. Different parts of sweating can reflect a person's physical condition.

Hyperhidrosis on forehead and face is the manifestation of stagnation and excessive internal heat, which is easy to be agitated, bitter in mouth and yellow in urine; Sweating in the front and back of the heart is due to lack of qi, which is easy to palpitation, insomnia, dreaminess and forgetfulness. In addition, there are some ways to sweat, which is a sign before the disease comes. For example, some elderly people sweat and sweat, so be careful of strokes.

The smell and color of sweat are also very particular. If sweat smells fishy, it may be related to heat syndrome or damp-heat syndrome, which generally belongs to liver heat. If sweat is found to be colored, it may be caused by bacteria that produce pigments on the face and armpits, or it may be caused by drugs. For example, sweat with iodide is red.

Sweating actively is the only way to keep healthy.

It is also sweating. Passive sweating can still make people sweat when the weather is hot. Why not take the initiative to sweat? Experts explained that sweating in hot summer or sauna is only superficial sweating of human body, and exercise is the real deep surface sweating, that is, sweating from the inside out. This kind of sweat is self-regulated by the human body. Sweating not only makes people feel comfortable, but also plays the following eight roles.

Expel toxin

Active sweating can accelerate the process of body fluid circulation and metabolism, expel toxins such as lactic acid, urea and ammonia accumulated in the body, and ensure the patency of nose, skin, lungs and large intestine.

control one's blood pressure

Hypertension is a phenomenon caused by narrowing and hardening of the inner diameter of blood vessels and limited unit blood flow. Exercise and sweating can dilate capillaries, accelerate blood circulation, increase the elasticity of blood vessel walls, and achieve the purpose of lowering blood pressure.

Promote digestion

If you don't sweat, qi and blood will run slowly, which will affect digestion and cause people to eat badly; Nerve activity will also be affected, leading to poor sleep at night.

Prevention of osteoporosis

Many people think that sweating will lead to the loss of calcium in the body with sweat. In this regard, Zhang Yatong, a clinical pharmacist in the Pharmacy Department of Beijing Hospital of the Ministry of Health, pointed out that only water-soluble vitamins will be lost with sweat. Although calcium is soluble in water, its solubility is very low and it is unlikely to be excreted with sweat. On the contrary, sweating is beneficial to the effective retention of calcium and the prevention of osteoporosis.

Enhanced memory

A long-term education experiment for 20,000 middle school students in the United States shows that active exercise and sweating have a positive effect on students, and their memory and concentration can be greatly improved.

Skin care and beauty

People who never sweat have slow skin metabolism and some wastes are difficult to discharge. Sweating can clean pores and achieve the effect of beauty and skin care.

lose weight

When the human body exercises to a certain intensity, fat will burn and be converted into heat, which will be excreted through sweat.
