Are you one of those people who can't stay dry? Are you often embarrassed of your sopping wet armpits and constantly stained undershirts? Basically: Do you feel like you're sweating too much? If so, here is a list of simple and inexpensive methods you can try that might control, or reduce your sweating.
Stay calm: Stress and nervousness instantly triggers the sweat glands.
Cut down your caffeine intake: Caffeine tends to create anxiety which, in turn, triggers the body to sweat excessively. In itself, it is also a trigger for sweating.
Acupuncture: It may look painful, but it's not. Acupuncture targets certain body parts to balance energy and also relaxes the brain by controlling the hypothalamus, which leads to sweat reduction. It might work for you.
Here’s how you can prevent nervous sweating
Take a cold shower: In spite of the discomfort of a cold shower, it really works wonders. While you're at it, try using an antibacterial soap to ensure the body is clean and odor-free.
- Avoid taking hot baths: While baths may be useful in eliminating toxins through increased body temperature, the problems of excessive sweating surely outweigh their benefits.
Drink tomato juice: This is my own, personal handy tip. I love tomato juice and it has helped me reduce my sweating. All those extra vitamins and nutrients come in handy. Some sources recommend drinking a glass a day to get the benefits.
Drink a lot of water: Hydration keeps body temperatures low, helping prevent sweating. Water is vital to life. It effectively flushes out excess minerals and pushes out all toxins and waste products. Experts recommend six to eight glasses of water every day.
Eat healthy food: Avoid sugary, spicy, and chemically-processed foods. You are what you eat. Spicy foods may be delightful, tasty, and even healthy, but they do cause your body to sweat more frequently after you eat them. A large intake of chemical toxins will aggravate sweating. The same goes for high fructose syrup used by some manufactures to sweeten food. It gets even worse especially for overweight people. Any of those instant, pre-made, packaged, frozen, greasy, ready-to-eat and fast foods are an absolute no no.
