Not exercising or being inactive is actually a major health risk. In order for your heart, lungs, and joints to function properly, you need to exercise. Have you noticed that when you first wake up in the morning and your body and joints feel somewhat stiff and if you are like me you do some stretches? I know I feel a huge difference on my flexibility and stamina after just 20 minutes of stretching first thing in the morning. Our bodies want and need exercise. To be physically fit and healthy and to improve your appearance and it actually slows down the aging process just a bit.

When you do aerobics, walking, bicycling, or swimming, you build up your stamina and your body becomes stronger and uses less energy to do the normal everyday stuff.

If all of this is not reason enough then do it for your family and try to be a good influence. You will be amazed at how much more energy you will have when you exercise on a regular basis.

Sweating is not as simple process as it seems to be. A whole system of sweat producing glands is there in our body and to keep the sweating process functioning about two million sweat glands are present in our body. These sweating glands are categorized into two groups including Eccrine and Apocrine. Now you were thinking that why these glands are divided into categories if both secrete water and salt. The reason is that both types are different from each other on the basis of their location, smell production and salt proportion in secreted form of body waste.

Eccrine is basically present in forehead region, palms of the hands and soles of the feet etc. The sweat produced by Eccrine is composed of 90% water with less percentage of sodium. Because of having higher percentage of water sweating through Eccrine does not produce ill smelling effect. While Apocrine is found in armpits and root of hair follicle produces sweat with high salt concentration. When sweat produces by Apocrine is broken down by bacteria it causes bad smelling sensation which can be felt easily particularly during high sweat production.

Sweating is one of the best ways to replenish body wastes and heat in the form of watery mixture of salts. If this excretory system is disturbed or sweat production lowered down due to any reason then it can lead to complicated physical problems including heat stoke and faints which are common problems during severe hot weather condition. If people want to keep their natural sweating process normal to avoid physical complication and to get rid of body extra heat then they must maintain their water intake level at two gallons per day. Otherwise inadequate perspiration could lead to undesirable physiological conditions and mental disturbance. So these are the factors and whole physiological process that explains why do we sweat.
