How many times have my New Balance shoes turned the dollar Lady Bird Lake Trailwell, let’s just say I could afford a lot of new coaches. They have made me believe that physical effort is the secret to improving your body at the same time and your brain. I hold on well to the idea that a good sweat can overcome a bad mood or chew me up and spit on me for the day I was able to recover.
Physical exercise is my therapy. My yoga mat I would literally be charged a fee for the number of hours I spent, moving my feet up and down the length of a smooth surface, smoothing my soles and laying them on the ground, while being an emotional human being while working on the worries and links that the land itself entails.
In fact, the more I sweat, the better I feel. Actually choose to take my neighborhood podcast walk during the heat of the day to release as much stress and toxins as possible.
Lately, when the Texas sun hits and my eyes sting SPF loading drops of sweat, I asked myself, is there any reason to feel better after a good sweat about my mind, my physical self and my outlook on life?
Curiosity prompted me to turn to two experts to help clarify the reasons why the act of sweating is so beneficial. First of all Dr. Nisha Khanna, MD, An internist certified by a committee specializing in functional Ayurveda; and then by a fitness guru and trained chef, Erin Stewart whose creatorEnjoy + Sweat. Both reveal why we need to sweat things big and small for our physical and mental health.

Dr. Khanna, what exactly is sweat and what is it made of?
Sweat is an electrolytic solution, mainly water, salt, some sugars, protein breakdown products and small amounts of toxins aimed at excretion.
Why does it smell?
It has no odor on its own, only when it mixes with bacteria in the sweat glands located in the armpits and inside, and these bacteria ferment the sweat in a bad odor compound. Anything that prevents the release of sweat, such as breathable and deodorant (both natural and non-natural), will eventually get a more fragrant sweat, as sweat and bacteria are now trapped and fermented under a film of the product.
In Ayurveda, the more toxic a person is, the more he smells. Because sweating is one of the main routes of daily detoxification. These three are sweat, urine and stools. Also, some Ayurvedic constitutions tend to be fermented and have a more sweaty smell at the base. However, regardless of the constitution itself, in someone with strong digestion and optimal detoxification, neither sweat, nor urine, nor feces should have a strong odor.

What are the benefits of sweating?
Detoxification and leaner body. For optimal function, it is very good to sweat 20-30 min every day. In Ayurvedic anatomy, sweat is a waste of fat cell metabolism. Fatty cells contain toxins and increase the number with toxic load. S
Sweating helps detoxify fat-soluble toxins and increases fat cell loss.
Is there too much or too little sweat?
Yes. If one sweats too much, they will feel weak and exhausted. This is mainly due to the loss of electrolytes. Of course, fluid loss also plays a role. Interestingly, the regeneration of electrolytes is also the main way to hydrate, as water remains salty. Therefore, rehydration solutions contain some salt and sugar, as water is absorbed by electrolytes.
Excessive sweating can lead to metabolic disorders such as low thyroid function and excessive metabolic diseases, as the pathway of sweat detoxification is blocked by toxins and excess metabolic wastes.

How do we deal with loss during and after sweating?
Rehydration solution. It can be homemade lime, artificial color and water, lime, rock salt and maple syrup ingredients to avoid.
What do you think about breathable?
I don’t usually recommend them for a number of reasons:
1) When you don’t use a more sweaty scent.
2) The burden of heavy metals has increased with aluminum-based antiperspirants.
3) Losing a daily indicator of what your body is digesting and detoxifying. Let’s say, yYou’ll catch me sniffing the armchairs to see if I need detoxification or a day of cleansing.

And Erin, tell us why you do you love a good sweat
Sweat is the mechanism that cools our body’s head. Our skin is the largest organ and is basically our third kidney. Sweating helps us filter out toxins and cool the body to maintain the right temperature.
When we sweat good things happen: we increase circulation and release toxins to help detoxify the body, eventually reducing stress, achieving healthier skin and a stronger immune system.
What are your best tips for sweating?
The best way to get sweat out is to start with a mindset. Your output depends on your input and your head has a powerful way of creating your day. Wake up with the thought that you will be active that day. Then put on your favorite sports outfit. The piece of clothing. Eat well. Treat your body well. You get it.

But let’s dive into the details … I consider the best ways to sweat to be three main sources: exercise, food, and heated environments.
1. DAILY EXERCISE:
Physical exercise brings sweat and joy. Moving your body every day for 10 minutes or an hour is the most beneficial thing one can do to boost endorphins, a sensitive hormone and toxins that are naturally released during physical activity.
When warm, workout outside. When we sweat, we open our pores, on a sunny day, we take in more naturally Vitamin D. during this process. Take a walk, do a stand up paddle board, ride a bike or play outside on your favorite fitness app.
Dance cardio classes carry sweat while you have fun. Music-driven workouts have been shown to be more effective in the sweating department. When your mind and body are connected and you allow yourself to be left and be there, you energize your soul and make sense through a sense of moving meditation.
Laughter ballet is a training style that combines Pilates. It is suitable for any physical level and is designed to progressively define and strengthen your body. My Athletic Barre classes take the classic bar with high-intensity workouts to raise an indentation to shed sweat and get more out of training.
HIIT workouts are a repetitive day of work interspersed with recovery periods. HIIT is a “high-intensity interval workout”. The key is that you work hard to get rid of breath at every stretch. The movements may vary, but the results of sweating are great.
Yoga associates postures with constant movement to find a restless flow. With this restless mentality, sweating happens gracefully and powerfully.
The spin class takes the bike to another level. Put a 25-person music and motivation teacher on a moving bike in a single room, a sweat factor that’s hard to avoid!

EAT FOODS THAT INCREASE CIRCULATION, DIGESTION AND ENERGY LEVELS:
Capsaicin has been shown improve blood and chi circulation and increases body temperature. A rapid rise in temperature causes sweating which cools the body back. Capsaicin can be found in peppers, especially the white and placental tissues that bind the seeds. Chilies stimulate the stomach, aid digestion, reduce inflammation and have antioxidant properties.

Bay leaf helps regulate blood circulation and cold conditions. Dip into the bay and drink tea to encourage sweating and break the fever.
Kudzu it is used as a natural thickening agent, replacing cornstarch or arrow root in recipes. Of course it makes it easier digestion and inflammationsuch as gestures and helping to treat the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause because night sweats have estrogen-like properties.

HOT TEST:
Bikram Yoga promotes sweating in classes consisting of 26 fixed yoga classes practiced in a heated room at 105 degrees. This aims to improve lower body strength, range of motion and overall balance.
Saunas
The traditional sauna uses high-temperature dry heat to heat an area and thus heats the body from the outside, detoxifying all sweat and preventing disease.
Infrared saunas use infrared light as a radiant heat to basically penetrate and warm your body tissue. Several studies have shown that they are infrared saunas it can help the virus die (especially blue light).
Steam rooms are enclosed spaces heated by steam. Moisture cleanses the buildup, helps to improve the skin. circulation, and general rigidity.
Or take a walk down the street in the summer – gesture, gesture!
