Its been a long time since I updated my blog. I will try to update more often from now on as I had completed my course of study.
First thing for today, is about Sweating. There are some myths about sweating which most of us still believe in. Hence, at here I will try to list out a few and hope to correct the wrong peception of sweating.
Myth 1 : No Sweat, No Workout
Most of us tend to thinks that it is a must to sweat as much as possible when working out. If one do not sweat during work out, that means we are not getting any benefit from it. This perception is totally wrong.
We must first need to understand that sweating is just a cooling mechanism for our body. When we sweat, it means that we are really hot and our body needs some way to cool down the temperature. Some of us will be able to tolerate a higher temperature than others, hence may sweat less during the workout, but this does not mean that those who sweat less are not working as hard as those who sweat more.
Myth 2 : The More I Sweat, The More Weight I Lose
When we exercise, our body temperature rises and result in sweating. As mentioned earlier on, sweating is a way for the body to cool down. Hence, sweating has no relationship with weight loss. It was the fat content in our body that gives us the weight that we do not want. The weight that lose from sweating is just weight of the water. You will regain that weight when you start to drink after your workout. The only way to lose weight is to reduce the the fat content or to burn the calories in a correct manner.
Myth 3 : Sweating Helps to Get Rids of Body Toxins
First thing you must know when performing detoxification for your body is that, sweat itself contains not toxins. Toxins can only be removed by our healthy kidney and liver. Our kidney and liver helps to counter off all we do to ill treat our body, such as less exercise, unhealthy eating habits and lifestyle. When we sweat, we are not detoxified, we are in fact, overheated.
Finally, a piece of advise to all, the best way to reduce weight is to perform more or mix of cardio exercise such as running,cycling,swimming plus a balance diet. Excessive sweating is not a way to go for weight lose. Excessive sweating will cause a body to dehydrate and a dehydrated body will be more prone to heat exhaustion and stroke.
