Why Sweat?

🏃‍♀️Long Run Saturday = 7 miles today and feeling so strong!

🤓 Why Sweat?

Why do we not teach that sweating is medicine? It is crucial to our health. Our skin, which is the largest organ, is essentially our third kidney. Sweat glands help our skin filter toxins out of the body, which in turn boosts our immune system (hence why you should not stop fevers).

When we sweat all over, as with intense exercise (sauna treatments), good things happen to our body:

circulation increases throughout our organs, muscles, and tissue.

our skin releases certain toxins, to help our bodies detoxify (Please if any of these, hear this one).

the elimination of salt from the body can help prevent kidney stones from forming.

the pores on our skin open up and allow for a protective barrier to form against pathogens, reducing bacteria on the skin (this can even help with acne).

We have to push out the toxins/viruses that are stagnate in our bodies. If a client tells me “I don’t ever sweat” like it’s a good thing or they are lucky, guess what I do? I teach and train their body to sweat and detox.

Now…go sweat today!
