Including reducing caffeine .. Tips to get rid of permanent sweating in the summer
The problem of sweating is an annoying problem, especially for those who live in hot regions with high temperatures most of the year. However, it is possible to reduce this problem and avoid the embarrassment caused by it by following several advice provided by experts.
Cut back on spicy foods and caffeine
Many enjoy drinking coffee throughout the day or eating spicy meals such as chili and curry. However, the site (WebMd) medical advises to stay away from these foods that may lead to increased sweating for some. On the other hand, the Men's Health site encourages the consumption of moisturizing foods such as fruits, yogurt, and foods containing zinc or nuts, which reduce the odor of unpleasant sweat.
Wearing appropriate clothing
Wearing tight clothing obstructs the airflow under the clothes, which leads to severe sweating. Therefore, Men's Health website recommends wearing clothes that leave an outlet and are made of natural fabrics such as linen, or clothes that include "silver ions" in their manufacture, called "anti-smell clothes" or "anti-smell clothes". And Healthline says that light-colored clothes reflect sunlight and reduce sweating, unlike dark clothes that absorb heat.
Use the correct deodorant
Not all deodorants are the same. It is better to use "antiperspirants" rather than "deodorants". Men's Health explains the difference that deodorant only covers up the odor of sweat, while antiperspirants narrow the sweat glands under the armpits and thus reduce sweat production to a large extent. The site cautions not to use antiperspirants after removing hair under the armpits, as this may cause skin infections for some. Healthline recommends using antiperspirants before bed to get the best results.
Bathing in lukewarm water
Some enjoy bathing in warm or hot water, but this can add to the problem of persistent sweating. According to Men's Health, hot water opens up pores and stimulates sweat formation. So it is best to shower with lukewarm or cold water that will close your pores. WebMD adds advice on using antibacterial soap when showering, as when bacteria mix with sweat, they cause an annoying smell of sweat.
Fight sweat with sauna
This may sound counterintuitive, so how do we fight sweating with sweating? (Men's Health) says that frequent going to the sauna causes the body to automatically lower its temperature, which will reduce the formation of perspiration in the long term. The site warns of the importance of compensating for the lost body sweat by drinking lots of water after visiting the sauna.
Preventing perspiration naturally
The sage plant (sage) is one of the plants with multiple medicinal benefits, and it can be used against perspiration as an essential oil or in the form of capsules or a hot drink (tea) as advised by the (Men's Health) website. The site (Refinery 29) praises the effect of vinegar on preventing sweating, and it is recommended to take two teaspoons in the morning, one of white vinegar and one of apple cider vinegar.
Maintain a temperature in your surroundings
Not everyone has an air conditioner at home, so Healthline gives some tips to moisturize the air indoors, including placing a bowl of ice in front of the fan to cool the air a bit. It is also recommended to close the curtains during the day to prevent sunlight entering the room. WebMD advises that you postpone strenuous physical work for the evening or perform it early in the morning.
See a doctor when you sweat excessively
If all the previous tips do not work, a person has to go to the doctor to solve the problem of permanent sweating. And the German newspaper Hannoverische Allgemeine reports that some people suffer from hyperhidrosis, which is persistent and satisfactory sweating. But it can be treated by injecting the most sweaty parts of the body with "Botox", or undergoing surgery to remove the sweat glands. However, the (Men's Health) site advises that these solutions be the last resort, as surgical interventions always represent a kind of risk.
