Now that the summer the period of air conditioning begins, sleepless nights due to the heat, beach and pool to try to cope and sweat, a lot of sweat.
In winter we also sweat; but, as you know, the process of sweating it increases as temperatures rise, for reasons that I will explain later.
What I am sure you have also noticed is that no matter how hot it is, there will always be some people who sweat more than others. And if not, they asked Camacho at the World Cup in Korea. Well, there are various causes why this phenomenon occurs excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, so before generating ridicule regarding people who suffer from it, it would be much better to understand why it is.
Why do we sweat?
Before delving into the possible reasons why some people sweat more than others, it is important to make clear why do we sweat; since, after all, that is precisely the root of the problem.
As unpleasant as it may be, sweat is essential for our body, since it takes care of to refrigerateor when temperatures rise. For this, they are released abroad water and mineral salts, than will evaporate on the skin, so that the energy consumed will give rise to a decrease in temperature.
I know it’s true that we don’t sweat only when we’re in a very hot place, but we can also do it as a result of situations such as anxiety or the consumption of spicy or exciting foods. However, all this usually generates the acceleration of our metabolismand with it, a temperature increase, so the mechanism is the same.
Why do some people have excessive sweating?
We all know cases of people who sweat a lot, although the temperatures are not excessively high.
This can occur due to disorders like hyperthyroidism, which also causes the acceleration of metabolism, to the consumption of some drugs or at overweightor. The latter is because the grease acts as a natural insulator that increases the body temperature, promoting the need for more sweating.
However, there are many people who, without suffering no previous disorderThey have to deal with this annoying excessive sweating on a daily basis.
The causes of this occurrence are not entirely clear, although it appears to be related to the sweat gland activity, in charge of the sweat production.
We are all born with approximately the same number of these glands, which will be activated during our first years of life, especially in puberty, making us get to the adulthood with very different amounts of active glands.
And precisely these amounts will be responsible for the levels desudoration be so different between individuals. For example, mens They tend to have more than women, hence they sweat more and, in addition, some theories shuffle that the place where we have passed our childhood It could be decisive, since if we live in a very warm place we will need the activation of more glands, that they will stay like this even if they are older and we don’t need them
So there seems to be many factors involved at excessive sweating, but what is clear is that nobody produces an excess of sweat for pleasure, so the taunts are unnecessary.
Anyway, if it happens to you and you have to bear the ridicule of others, do not forget to remind them that you refresh yourself much better than they do. Defend with science!
