What is sweat? !

Sweating is an important regulatory mechanism of the human body, and with proper maintenance, sweating can also improve metabolism. The reason why people sweat is that the most important purpose is to take away the heat energy by evaporating water through sweat, so that the human body can not affect the functioning of the body due to excessive body temperature during activities, and at the same time, it is also a way to expel old waste substances in the body One of the metabolic mechanisms.

Does exercise have to sweat to be called exercise? !

Most people may have a similar idea that "exercise must sweat to be able to exercise!" ’, this idea can be said to be a myth! In fact, the main purpose of exercise is to " raise the heart rate "! When the exercise heart rate reaches 60% of the maximum heart rate, the body will first consume fat and excess protein and sugar. If the heart rate continues to rise and exceeds 80% of the maximum heart rate, whether it is fat, protein or sugar, it will be used as energy , At this time, muscles will start to be consumed, and the fat burning ratio will decrease instead. However, the main purpose of " sweating" is to lower your " body temperature ". The amount of sweating depends on the intensity of your exercise, the environment, the temperature, the amount of water added, and so on. Doing any exercise, including low-intensity exercise, is good for your body, whether you sweat or not!

The more you sweat, the more calories you consume and the faster you burn fat? !

Most of you probably have a similar thought that the more you sweat, the more fat you can burn on your body! Sweating more doesn't mean you burn more calories or burn more fat (according to Dr. Smith-Ryan), nor does it mean the intensity of your exercise. You may feel aerobic (running, freewheeling, rowing, etc.), sweating all over your body, sweat in your eyes, and feeling like the fat is being burned all over your body, but this is just your mind. The reason your body sweats is to maintain your core temperature .

Same idea concept; some girls think that going to hot yoga, sauna (or in an infrared sauna blanket), hot pilates, can make the body burst into sweat, so it can burn fat faster. But in fact, these methods are beneficial to health, but don't regard them as the purpose of burning fat! Warming up and warming up activities can help joint mobility, improve flexibility, increase lung capacity and reduce stress!

Sweating is good, it can help metabolize old waste in the body. But don't equate sweating, sweating and fat burning! Every time after exercising, I feel really good after sweating. After sweating, the body will release dopamine, which makes the mood happy. make yourself happier.

I hope the above content is helpful to the girls.
