Why You Sometimes Sweat More Than Usual

  1. Sweat glands are part of the excretory team, helping cool and detoxify.
  2. Stress, heat, or exercise can all ramp up sweat production.
  3. Excess sweating may signal your body’s attempt to balance temperature or salt.
  4. Hormones like adrenaline and cortisol influence sweat levels.
  5. High humidity prevents sweat from evaporating, making you feel drenched.
  6. Caffeine, spicy foods, and alcohol can also trigger extra perspiration.
  7. Overactive sweat glands (hyperhidrosis) affect millions worldwide.
  8. Sweating helps release tiny amounts of toxins and urea.
  9. Even emotions—fear, excitement, anxiety—can activate sweat glands.
  10. Your sweat patterns reveal how finely tuned your body’s cooling system is.
