Sweat is a salty liquid that your skin glands produce for the sole purpose of cooling your body. Under normal gland sweating conditions, you will generally experience sweats under your arms, on your feet and in the palms of your hands.

Sweating a lot is normal when:

• it’s hot
• during menopause
• when you exercise
• when you are anxious
• when you have a fever

However, sweating too much is a condition called hyperhidrosis. This condition might be caused by:

• thyroid disorder
• low blood sugar
• another health problem
• nervous system disorder

Sweating too little, anhidrosis, can cause your body to overheat creating a life-threatening situation. Causes of anhidrosis are:

• burns
• dehydration
• nerve disorders
• some skin disorders

When your sweat mixes with bacteria, which is naturally present on your skin, it has the potential to cause a stinky smell. Bathing regularly helps control the production of this offensive odor.

Do yourself, and others, a favor by jumping in the shower after every fitness workout for a sweaty bacteria odor wash off.
