5 REASONS YOU SHOULD SWEAT MORE

1. MAKES YOU GLOW

Sweating gets your blood circulating, which in return can make you glow from the inside out. It also removes toxins in the skin, which can help to prevent impurities on the skin.

2. BURNS CALORIES

No, sweat does not equal weight loss (besides water weight), but sweat is a sign that your body is working hard to cool itself down. This body function burns more energy and calories resulting in increased metabolism.

3. FLUSHES OUT TOXINS

Sweating can detox your body and helps aid your liver in doing it's job of getting rid of toxins and waste.

4. IMMUNITY

According to researchers at Eberhard-Karls University, our sweat "contains a natural antibiotic called Dermcidin, which can protect you from harmful pathogens." By raising your body temperature, you are helping your body kill pathogens.

5. INCREASED MOOD

In addition to exercise releasing endorphins, Dr. James Ting explains, "sweating activates temperature-sensitive neural circuits that regulate mood, reducing our chances of experiencing unpleasant mood swings."
