COMBATING AND WINNING THE BATTLE OF EXCESSIVE SWEATING

Luckily, I met someone in college that suffered from a similar problem. e. Deodorant and anti-perspirant, when used correctly can reduce the amount someone sweats as well as the odor that results from excessive perspiration. I worry about sweating profusely and having body odor any time I meet someone new. Of course, life was easy as a child, and we never had much to worry about. In the indication section on every product, the manufacturer will recommend the product to particular individuals. Others will sweat a lot because of anxiety or for other psychological reasons. The release of sweat from an individual's sweat gland cools the body when the temperature is even slightly elevated.

FOOT SWEAT:SHOES AND FOOT POWDER

Individuals with hot feet should make it a priority to purchase shoes that will allow for this level of comfort. You should try to find shoes that allow air flow around your feet. By providing your feet with a cool breeze or at least not wearing heavy shoes, you will find that your feet will sweat significantly less than they were sweating before. While feet tend to sweat on hot days, it should also be noted that one may experience foot sweat on days when it is not hot at all. The powder that you apply to your feet will soak up any moisture that you may have and will essentially keep your feet cool.

CROTCH POWDER

Crotch sweating, while it is a vile part of the excessive sweating condition so many of us have, it can be controlled using some very simple methods. If you find that this is the case, you should change the type of underwear you wear, change your underwear regularly and use body powder to absorb the moisture and odor. Some times, changing the underwear material or frequency simply isn't enough.

LIGHT WEIGHT AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING

Many individuals will enjoy the cool nature of any material made from linen or cotton, so consider these two materials to be ideal when you are picking out your wardrobe. Any item made from wool is the exact opposite of the light weight garment, so be sure you read the tags of your clothing thoroughly before purchasing so you know the garment will allow for you to breathe, but will also feel light on your body as well. Light weight clothing refers to any garment that feels light on your body.

DRINK WATER AND GATORADE

Damp Cloths around Neck

Now that you understand that sweating means your body is overheated and is expelling water from itself to cool off, understand that getting yourself cooled off as quickly as you can will help you stop excessively sweating just as quickly. After you have done this, you should feel instantly cooler than you were before. This will help your body cool down quickly and thus will help you stop sweating soon thereafter. If you cannot afford one of these products, you can simply use a bandana or scarf to keep you cool.

THE TEMPERATURE OF YOUR HOUSE AND MAINTAINING AIR FLOW

Try opening the windows, using any fan that you have, and possibly using an air conditioning system.

LOSE WEIGHT AND EXERCISE

Drinking beverages like this will keep your body cool. However, understand that on a molecular level, subcutaneous tissue, (or fat), acts as an insulator for our body's heat. Of course, losing weight for someone who is obese can be very difficult. Choosing the right drink in a social situation will help you control this annoying trait.

HAVING CONFIDENCE IN ANY PUBLIC SITUATION

Through building your self confidence in a potentially embarrassing moment, chances are you will also sweat less as you will be able to compose yourself. When you have an excessive sweating problem, one can worry incessantly whether they are going to embarrass themselves in a public situation. Excessive sweating, though, can truly ruin someone's confidence in social situations. Also know that if you excuse yourself because of excessive sweating, you should return to the scene acting confident as though nothing happened. Once, I had walked to an interview, (about 2 blocks in the blazing ninety degree sun), and realized I was at the wrong location. More importantly, though, you shouldn't react to your excessive perspiration. It can leave us feeling vulnerable and self conscious ruining our self confidence in situations when we need it the most.
