💧 HYDRATION AND SWEAT
PAGE 1 OF 5 — WHY YOU SWEAT
BODY AC
SWEAT IS YOUR COOLING SYSTEM
When you run, dance, or play sport, your muscles produce heat. If your core temperature kept climbing, you would overheat. Sweat glands release water onto your skin. As that water evaporates into the air, it carries heat away from your body. Sweating is like your body's air conditioning. On hot days or during hard exercise, you sweat more. That is normal and healthy, as long as you replace the fluid you lose.
🌡️ TEMP
Evaporating sweat cools the skin, which helps lower your core body temperature during exercise.
