]]> Sweating is a natural bodily function that usually kicks in during intense workouts or whenever we’re in a particularly warm environment. While it’s true that its main function is to regulate body temperature, there are several other physiological benefits to sweating that aren’t quite as well-known. Whether you’re already a pro at working up a sweat or are in need of motivation to get your sweat on, read on to learn more about some benefits of sweating that go beyond thermoregulation.

Detoxification & better skin

When we sweat, our glands excrete waste products such as heavy metals, alcohol, and harmful chemicals absorbed from the environment. This process can help to unclog pores and leave your skin with a healthy glow, thanks to the natural moisturizing properties of certain chemical compounds found in sweat. 

Immune system support

Skin may not be the first organ to come to mind when thinking of the immune system, but it actually plays an essential role in the body’s natural immune response. Sweating triggers the production of a natural antibiotic called dermcidin, which, when excreted to the skin’s surface, acts as a first line of defense against infections.

Stress reduction

Engaging in physical activities that induce sweating triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good hormones. These endorphins alleviate stress, improve mood, and promote relaxation in the short-term and can lead to better sleep quality and increased resilience to stressors in general.

]]> In an age where green juices and flat belly teas are advertised on every corner, it’s easy to think that we need to buy special products to help our bodies clear out toxins. In reality, however, our internal organs such as the liver and kidneys work hard every day to remove waste and keep us healthy. While it is important to support this natural detoxification process, you don’t have to resort to fancy teas or expensive juices to do so. A few simple lifestyle changes are all you need to help your body do its job so that you can feel your best. 

Exercise

Exercise is important for much more than just burning calories. Moving causes your body temperature to rise, and when you sweat to cool down, toxins are released in the process. Working out also gets the blood flowing, which helps your organs remove toxins more efficiently.

Eat Right

Eating a variety of whole foods including fruits, veggies, and whole grains can provide your body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower can also help boost liver function, which is crucial for detoxification.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water helps flush toxins out of your system and can also help improve digestion and overall organ function. Aim for at least eight glasses of water per day, and more if you are particularly active or live in a hot climate.

]]> Fall is on its way, and with it comes Sober September. Never heard of the concept? It is similar to Dry January where people are encouraged to give up alcohol for a month. Both follow periods where we may have gone a little heavy on the liquor, with its time to re-focus on our body’s well-being. 

Healthy Evaluation

The trend encourages us to evaluate our personal relationship with alcohol. Are we totally fine without it? Does its absence make us feel a bit strange? You may find that you don’t miss alcohol—or the hangover it brings—at all. Bear in mind that alcohol can be a depressant. Take time to notice how many of your activities involved drinking and whether it just felt part of a social norm and if your relationships change.

A Welcome Detox

Look at the month like a reset. After a boozy summer, it’s not such a bad idea to give your liver a break! Chances are you’ll feel more energized and less sluggish without the alcohol, and the detox can also improve the quality of your skin and sleep.

Engage in Other Activities

If alcohol is a method for you to de-stress, look for alternative ways that you can relieve tension, especially after a long day. Go for a walk, hit the gym, read a book, or work on a project you’ve been meaning to get to. Doing Sober September with friends and family can also offer a great support system.

]]> Detox is a popular word in the diet culture that stands behind the idea that our bodies need to get rid of toxins on a regular basis. It was never truly proven that “detoxing” your body can prevent diseases like it was once believed, yet the idea is still popular today.

What It Is

Detox is actually a medical term that means cleaning the organism from poisons like alcohol and various drugs. Dietary detox is usually harmless but doesn’t really have any real effect on your body.

Being Cautious

Your body is a complex mechanism that has its own ways for removing toxins, mostly through your kidneys and liver. Most of the so-called detox products (waters and juices are the most common) are nothing but diuretics that will make you empty your bladder more often. The most they can do is help your body get rid of water and salt, and the effect will only last until you hydrate your body again.

Detox beverages are also believed to be good for neutralizing free radicals in your body thanks to their antioxidant content. Your body can create enough antioxidants with a healthy diet and your body will remove the extra amounts through the kidneys. You can’t use more than your body needs, and there’s no evidence that detox juices can help you boost immunity and “detox” your internal organs.

Drinking Water

Drinking more water can do wonders for your body. Rehydration helps eliminate toxins from the system.

Eating Foods Rich in Antioxidants

Eat foods that are rich in antioxidants like spinach, kale, artichokes, raspberries, blueberries, dark chocolate, etc.

Sleeping

Without good quality sleep, you will struggle to clean your body and performs its functions badly, so make sure you get your 8 hours of sleep.

Exercising

Maybe the most important part of detoxing is exercise – moving the body encourages blood circulation and supports the work of the lymph system. In addition, regular exercise will enhance digestion, reduce tension, and keep your joints healthy.
