Why do I sweat a lot after exercise?
Sweating can be divided into physiological and pathological. For example, sweating and strenuous exercise in hot weather are all physiological phenomena.

There are two most common types of sweating caused by pathological reasons: one is night sweats, which appear unconsciously when sleeping at night. The other is spontaneous sweating, which occurs during the day and does not sweat spontaneously due to labor, thick clothes or heat, or after a little exercise.

The main cause of spontaneous sweating is physical weakness or after a serious illness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by "insufficient lung qi and unstable Wei Yang". Treatment should be based on the principle of "tonifying lung and benefiting qi, consolidating exterior and nourishing yin". You can take Buzhong Yiqi Pill and Shengmai Drink to nourish the earth and produce gold, replenish qi and astringe sweat, or chew American ginseng and ginseng, or you can add and subtract Shengmai Powder and Yupingfeng Pill.

Sweat gland secretion is closely related to exercise intensity: the general rule is that the greater the exercise intensity, the more perspiration. Because with the increase of exercise intensity, muscle activity is more intense and more calories are produced. In order to maintain a normal body temperature, the human body must increase the amount of perspiration to emit excess heat. Therefore, the greater the intensity of exercise, the more perspiration is bound to occur.

Extended data:

Sweating is divided into active and passive. Passive sweating refers to sweating due to sultry weather and irritability, which is harmful to human body. On the contrary, the sweat that the human body actively exercises is called active sweating, which is conducive to maintaining the temperature in the human body and emitting heat, which is beneficial to people's physical and mental health.

The function of sweat is to regulate body temperature. Think about it carefully, the human body is really like a precise machine. If you don't sweat, that's not good. Exercise, blood circulation is accelerated, body temperature rises and sweats, so that body temperature drops; When it is cold, sweat glands and pores contract, thus stopping sweating and preventing body temperature loss.

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.
