Sweating is one of the body's important excretory and temperature-regulating activities. In most cases, sweating has a salty taste, so people often assume that it is the taste of sweat. So what if sweat doesn't taste salty?
1. How is it normal to sweat? Everyone knows that sweating is a very normal part of the body every day. The process of sweating is considered as a mechanism to eliminate waste products to the outside and balance body temperature. Sweating is the most when it is hot or when the body has to exercise a lot.
Normally, a person usually has about 2-4 million sweat glands with the highest density on the palms and soles of the feet. This number of sweat glands does not change over time. Therefore, children will have more sweat glands per square meter of skin, which means the rate is 8-10 times higher than adults. Some people only sweat half a liter of sweat in 1 hour of full activity, while others sweat up to 3-4 liters and both of these cases are normal. However, high levels of sweating due to heat stroke or the body's dangerous state - known as sweating - needs more attention.
2. Is it normal to sweat without a salty taste? As mentioned, sweating helps the body excrete toxins and excess substances. At the same time, when sweat evaporates on the skin, it will also help the body cool down when the body temperature is too high. Most of our sweat when secreted has a characteristic salty taste, mainly from excess substances, residues and toxins of the body, ... In addition to the smell of salty sweat, there are also fields. When sweat is secreted, it is very pale or has no taste at all. When encountering this situation, many people have worried whether the sweat without salty taste will affect health?
Salty sweat is usually due to our lack of water, unreasonable diet and daily activities or because the body is excreting toxins more than usual. In addition, many studies show that salty sweat is a manifestation of the body's lack of salt, because salt is eliminated directly through sweat. Therefore, it can be said that sweat without a salty taste does not cause any harm to the body.
