I wrote – Yasmine El Sawy:

Sweat normalizes and cools the body temperature, as well as prevents sunstroke and heat exhaustion, which can sometimes be life-threatening.

And the pharmacist in England, Abbas Kanani, said: “When the internal body temperature begins to rise, the “hypothalamus” region in the brain issues an order to all sweat glands to secrete sweat to cool the body.

Kanani presented a group of healthy ways that can be followed to reduce body sweating with high temperatures, without using any deodorants.

Ways to get rid of sweat

1- Drink plenty of water

Water helps to cool and moisturize the body naturally, and therefore it does not need to secrete sweat to adjust the body temperature. Dehydration also causes the production of a lot of sweat, because the body works hard to regain its ability to perform its functions well.

2- Stop eating fatty and spicy foods

Foods high in unhealthy fats, such as french fries, cake and meat, lead to an increase in the internal body temperature, which leads to more sweat.

These foods can be replaced with others rich in healthy fats, such as fish and avocados, because they are rich in antioxidants that facilitate digestion and enhance metabolism, which helps control body sweating.

Spicy foods raise body temperature, and therefore it is preferable to replace them with hydrating foods, such as fruits and vegetables rich in water and yogurt.

3- Wearing cotton clothes

Cotton clothes contribute to cooling the body, while synthetic fibers lead to increased sweating, and this must be adhered to while sleeping or going out in hot weather during the day.

4- Using vinegar

You can put a cotton ball in a dish with a little apple cider vinegar, then put the cotton ball soaked in vinegar on the area where sweating increases, as this method reduces excessive sweating.

5- Botox injection

Botox injections help prevent excessive sweating for no reason by stopping the excessive activity of the glands, and the effect lasts for 6-12 months.
