Why you sweat so much
First of all,sweating is completely healthyand normal.
Its how your body cools off, removes toxins and maintains salinity in your body.
So dont sweat too much about sweating.
Nervousness:Your fight-or-flight system activates when youre nervous and it creates a rush of hormones in your body.
Essentially, people with hyperhidrosis produce a great deal more sweat than whats considered normal.
Emotions:Strong emotions like anger, excitement, or stress can activate your sweat glands.
There are other factors that can increase your sweatinglike your genesbut these are the main contributors for excessive sweat.
Sometimes antiperspirants arent enough, though.
Consider reducing your coffee intake.
Drinking it hot doesnt help you either, as it raises your body temperature.
You also may want to avoid spicy foods.

Those receptors are pain fibers, technically known as polymodal nociceptors…
The central nervous system reacts to whatever the sensory system tells it is going on.
The most obvious way is to wear a good deodorant.
The food you eat can also play a part as well.
Plants in the Allium genus, like onions and garlic, can contribute as well.
A somewhat obvious tipbut one some people still manage to disregardis bathing regularly.
If youre aware of your BO problem, bathing every day with soap should be a no-brainer.
Skipping a day or two lets the bacteria build up and it will only continue to get worse.
Last but not least, you could shave your armpits.
A majority of women already practice this, but it can be beneficial for men too.
There are plenty of options in the clothing realm to keep you looking like a normal dry person.
For starters, the colors you wear make a huge difference.
Additionally, certain types of patterns can help you hide glaring wet spots too.
it’s possible for you to wear patterns like plaid or camo and sweat wont stand out.
You may also want to wear something underneath your visible clothing.
Adding a jacket or cardigan in a breathable material may also help keep sweat from coming into view.
Something breathable is beneficial, but asMens Healthpoints out,cotton is king:
It breathes.
But in the moderately moist conditions of the office, cotton is your choice for staying cool.
Polyester or poly/cotton blends tend to trap heat, causing you to sweat more.
If an outfit is going highlight your sweaty spots, youre probably better off wearing something else.
Wear a tank top or any other throw in of shirt that has big arm holes.
Keep a change of clothes on hand:Switch your clothes when things start to get too sweaty.
Not all sweat issues are pit-related, so this is one of the best options for those situations.
It beats disappearing every 10 minutes to dry off your pits in the bathroom.
Pit stains can be embarrassing, but there are plenty of ways around them.
The most important thing you’ve got the option to do is plan ahead.
If you know that you sweat a lot, buy dark or patterned clothing.
If you know youll be dancing in your dress shirt, consider wearing an undershirt or sweat pad.
If you cant prevent it, it’s possible for you to at least remove it.
Place your blighted shirt in the sink, making sure the yellow stains are completely submerged.
After youre done soaking, rinse your shirt and launder as usual.
Dont hesitate to use it on other garments or bed sheets as well for those night sweaters out there.
For tougher stains, add in a little baking soda and scrub.
So go forth and sweat: at least now you have options for dealing with it.
