The Benefits of Sweating
Even though sweating is sometimes annoying, it’s crucial to understand why we do it.

Sweating helps us in many ways, including:
- increasing circulation
- temperature regulation
- toxin removal
- improved immunity
Don’t worry if you’re sweating a lot the next time you’re working out. You’ll be reaping these body benefits and more!
