Can you lose weight by exercising and sweating?
Many people think that the more you sweat during exercise, the better the exercise effect. In fact, it is unscientific to lose weight through exercise and sweating. In fact, a lot of sweating will take away potassium ions, sodium ions, salts and other substances in the human body. For people with poor constitution, excessive sweating may lead to dehydration, dizziness, abdominal pain and other symptoms.

. In addition to poor physical fitness, you will sweat a lot when you are doing non-sweating exercises such as walking and playing Tai Ji Chuan. You should go to the hospital to check whether there is rheumatism.

It is understood that there are about 3 million sweat glands distributed in the human body, one of which is the secretory part, which has the function of secreting sweat; The other end is the excretory part, which is directly opened on the skin surface and is called sweat hole. The discharge of sweat has the function of regulating body temperature, and also discharges some metabolic wastes. Under normal circumstances, sweating is a reflex activity, and the secretion of sweat glands can be caused by warm stimulation or mental stress. When heat causes blood vessels to dilate, water in blood transfers heat to the skin surface, and then evaporates with sweat to transfer heat to the surrounding environment. In the high temperature environment, the daily sweat output of human body can be as high as 8- 12 liters.

Of course, some diseases can also cause sweating. If you have rheumatism or tuberculosis, you will sweat a lot. Encephalitis sequela is often accompanied by sweating. If this happens, you should go to the hospital for relevant examination in time. There is not much evidence to say that sweating is just to lose weight, because the process of sweating is mainly to emit excess heat in the body. A large amount of sweating leads to water loss, and you can only lose weight temporarily. The real weight loss should be to reduce fat, exercise properly every day and consume a certain amount of calories, so as to achieve effective weight loss.

Problems needing attention in sweating during exercise

Don't take a bath immediately after sweating. At the end of exercise, the human body is still in a state of vigorous metabolism and vasodilation of the skin. At this time, if you take a bath immediately, the skin will be stimulated, and the skin blood vessels will contract through nerve reflex, but it will make it difficult to dissipate heat and raise the body temperature. At the same time, the skin blood flow decreases, and the blood flow back to the heart increases, which increases the burden on the heart. Because sweat contains more sodium chloride, so sweat should be supplemented with salt and calcium. Therefore, after exercising in summer, you should drink some salt water properly, and then rest for about 1 hour before taking a bath. Of course, it is best to take a bath with warm water.
