Exercise means sweating a lot. Can it play the role of detoxification?
Yes, you can.

Sweat is the "air conditioner" of our body. Chinese medicine believes that sweating is a kind of detoxification in summer. There are two ways for people to detoxify: one is urination, and the other is sweating. Sweating is the most effective way to detoxify. Only in summer can you sweat naturally all year round, which will be good for human metabolism, meridian balance and immune system health.

If you don't sweat for a long time, your skin won't breathe, which will eventually cause many disorders in your metabolic system, and the detoxification function of this skin will be transferred to your kidneys and liver.
