What's wrong with not sweating in summer What if you don't sweat in summer?

In summer, many people complain that they sweat easily. Sweating will destroy women's makeup, leading to large pores, which makes many people feel very troublesome. However, some people don't sweat. In fact, sweating is a way for the body to dissipate heat, indicating that they are unhealthy. What if you don't sweat in summer? What if you don't sweat in summer? Let's have a look!

1, the danger of not sweating

Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has said that sweating can preserve health and cure diseases, and that sweating can dredge meridians and blood vessels. However, modern people sweat less and less in summer. Many shopping malls and office buildings have turned on air conditioning early, and there are air conditioners at home and in cars. It is refreshing all day without a drop of sweat. People enjoy the coolness of air conditioning, but lose the opportunity to keep fit with nature. So how harmful is it?

2, eating and sleeping is not fragrant and not sweating.

Talking about the harm of not sweating, use an image metaphor: "Modern people's life is like out-of-season vegetables, which are warm in winter and cool in summer. Everyone knows that such food tastes terrible, but how can such a lifestyle shape a healthy body?

People who never sweat, because of the slow metabolism of skin, some wastes are difficult to discharge, and their skin color looks unhealthy. At the same time, if you don't sweat, the blood will run slowly, which will affect digestion and lead to poor eating. Moreover, nerve activity will also be affected, leading to poor sleep at night.

3, the principle of sweating and not sweating

"It will sweat when it is hot, and it will not sweat when it is cold." This is a feeling shared by people; "It's not normal to sweat when it's hot and sweat when it's cold without exercise." In daily life, in fact, the skin secretes sweat through sweat glands every day, but when the temperature is low, the sweat secreted by sweat glands is not only too little, but also evaporated just after leaving the epidermis, which is called "invisible sweat" in medicine. So why do people sweat? Physiologically speaking, besides emitting heat, it has other important functions: for example

① Sweat can maintain the physiological balance of water supply and volatilization and prevent the cuticle from drying.

(2) Sweat can acidify the skin surface and prevent microbial invasion.

③ Sweat and sebum emulsify with each other to form a lipid film on the skin surface, which has the function of protecting the skin. In addition, it is also related to the metabolism of electrolytes, mucopolysaccharides and hormones. Therefore, patients with anhidrosis should seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and comprehensive treatment can be used to alleviate their pain.

4. Why don't you sweat

People often feel the same way. When they encounter strong external stimuli, they will find themselves "scared out in a sweat". In fact, this is a normal reaction, because mental stimulation increases nerve impulses and acetylcholine secretion, leading to hyperhidrosis. However, some people are "stunned and sweaty." Why? Hypohidrosis or anhidrosis on the skin surface can be caused by abnormal sweat glands themselves or a certain level of neural pathways.

People can see obvious sweat when sweating, and everyone thinks that he sweats a lot; Some people are like winter swimmers. You can't see them sweating, but you can obviously see the hot air coming out of them. In addition, some people have more body fluids and sweat more; Some people have less body fluids and sweat, and the amount of sweating during exercise is also related to drinking water. If you drink plenty of water before exercise, you will increase your perspiration due to the increase of body fluids. For sports, when doing the same amount of exercise, it should be that the less you sweat, the better your health, because his body has stronger self-regulation ability. "If under normal circumstances, the phenomenon of not sweating is completely normal, indicating that people are in good health. On the contrary, some people sweat easily if they exercise a little, which means it is a symptom of the disease. If you feel hot and don't sweat, it is a problem with sweat glands (congenital or acquired). It's best to go to the hospital to check this situation and find out the reason for not sweating.

3. Nerve injuries, such as transverse myelitis, poliomyelitis, paraplegia, and local injuries of sympathetic nerve, medulla oblongata and pons, can cause systemic or local anhidrosis.

4. Some visceral diseases, such as diabetes, diabetes insipidus, chronic nephritis, mucinous edema, malignant tumor, etc. In addition, vitamin A deficiency, etc. , but also cause systemic anhidrosis.

5. anhidrosis treatment

Clinically, anhidrosis caused by congenital sweat gland dysplasia cannot be treated at present, but if it is caused by other diseases, the primary disease (the disease that leads to anhidrosis) should be actively treated. Without sweating in summer, the body temperature can't be adjusted. In addition to treatment, people who are extremely unwell can move to low temperature areas, or take artificial cooling, such as installing air conditioners indoors.
