let’s talk about why you should actually

sweat more often

did you realize that we spend over 75

billion dollars a year just to block

sweat for some reason people don’t like

to sweat they don’t like the smell

and above all don’t let anyone know that

you actually sweat now sweat itself

doesn’t have a bad odor it’s the

bacteria that

ferment certain things in the sweat that

produce various types of odor and a lot

of times when you’re using certain

deodorants that plug up your pores

that sweat material gets blocked and it

ferments more and it can create a worse

odor but there are two types of sweat

glands you have

certain glands that produce an oil that

is connected with a hair follicle like

underneath your armpit and then you have

other sweat glands that produce more of

a

salty uh fluid but the overall purpose

of sweat is your body’s strategy to

control

temperature to dump heat so you can keep

moving and you prevent heat stroke

it’s a survival strategy and we can lose

a lot of sweat in fact we can lose

between two and four liters of sweat

every single hour that’s an incredible

amount of fluid coming out of our body

and when people are in fear

or under major stress when they’re

sweating it has a completely different

odor now if we look at the consistency

of sweat what’s in it

you have

0.9 grams it’s like almost 1 gram per

liter of sodium so there’s a lot of

sodium and if we look at potassium it’s

only 0.2 grams per liters and then if we

look at calcium it’s even less

0.015 grams per liter and then magnesium

is 0.013 grams per liter then there’s a

lot of other things in sweat you have

chloride you have fatty acids you have

even glucose proteins so sweat is really

the same chemistry as the

fluid that you have in your blood minus

the red blood cells

and the fluid that is in between your

cells and the capillaries okay so it’s a

salty fluid

and in your sweat glands you even

actually recycle some of these minerals

as well but this is what you need to

know an average person

consumes

about 3 300 milligrams of sodium every

single day okay

and they consume about 2600 milligrams

of potassium every day now if we compare

this to what our bodies really need okay

let’s just take sodium for example so an

average person actually needs

less than what they’re getting they need

about 2300 milligrams okay

and they’re getting 3 300 milligrams so

they’re basically getting an extra 1000

milligrams of sodium every single day

now potassium

they need 4700 which is a lot more than

what they actually get so an average

person is in the negative with potassium

by

2100 milligrams and only five percent of

the population even gets 4 700

milligrams of potassium every single day

so the ratios are just way more

important than these individual numbers

so for example if you’re not getting

enough potassium well just make sure you

don’t consume a lot of sodium but if you

consume more sodium make sure that

you’re getting a lot more potassium at

least twice as much or even three times

as much potassium as the sodium now

there’s all sorts of studies on this and

i will put those links down below but

especially for the cardiovascular

system you need these ratios to be

correct and this is the exact reason i

came up with my electrolyte powder very

heavy in the potassium

low on the sodium to help correct this

imbalance

now here’s some benefits of sweating

okay number one you’re going to balance

out your sodium to potassium ratios

because an average person like i said is

heavy on the sodium and the low on the

potassium so when they’re sweating

they’re going to be losing much more

sodium than potassium so just by

sweating you can correct this in balance

right here and support a healthy

cardiovascular system all right number

two you can release certain toxins the

ones that are in your blood just realize

that you’re going to be also losing

the good stuff as well but you will

release some toxins if they’re in your

blood number three you’re going to sleep

better people notice when they sweat

especially when they exercise

they sleep better that night now it

could be the exercise that helps them

sleep but just the fact that you’re

balancing these ratios right here are

going to help the cardiovascular system

you’ll breathe better you’ll have better

circulation and you will sleep better

all right number four more energy

now this really depends because

if you get more sleep you’re gonna have

more energy right if you have an

imbalance of sodium and potassium okay

and you balance that out you’re gonna

have more energy but if you’re losing

too many electrolytes especially

sodium okay

you’re going to feel fatigued so when

you sweat and you don’t replace the

sodium you may have more fatigue however

this all depends on the quantity of

exercise and if you’re replacing your

electrolytes at the same time number

five it can actually increase your

circulation and prevent overheating now

just think about this as you’re sweating

you’re pushing out

certain fluids right it’s very very good

for your skin it’s good for circulation

because we’re pushing things out and

hopefully you’re taking things back in

versus inactivity no sweating when your

fluids are not circulating through the

body they’re stagnant and you’re going

to get less circulation all right number

six sweating creates a harmonic effect

what does that mean it means that it

creates a certain stress that causes

your body to adapt and actually become

stronger especially for the neurons in

your brain and there’s one study that i

found that i’ll put the link down below

that shows that sweating actually helps

to maintain your brain cells which is

pretty interesting and number seven okay

the support of your adrenal glands

your adrenal glands have a huge control

over sodium and potassium and if you

have an imbalance and you sweat you can

put these two minerals back into balance

and support the adrenals now of course

this is also a conditional because if

you’re losing too much sodium or even

losing too much potassium that can

negatively affect your adrenals but

usually the fact that when someone

sweats they’re usually exercising and

exercise does support the adrenals as

long as you recover but yesterday i cut

the lawn and it was hot outside and i

sweat like a pig and the sweat was just

coming out of my body it was getting in

my eyes it was salty and i came inside i

took a shower and boy did i feel better

the rest of the day and i slept great

that night now i think the best next

video for you to watch would be the one

on exercise the unique benefits of

exercise check it out i put it right

here
