Sweating is tolerable in small doses but unbearable when you are exposed to too much of it.
Sweating at the gym is very much accepted but sweating on a date or in the office can be very embarrassing.
Growing pit stains during a romantic dinner or sopping palms when shaking hands can be humiliating.
Try these five tips to get control of your sweating so you can stay dry for your next big date or presentation.
- Avoid spicy foods
Avoid
spicy foods and caffeine, they could also stimulate your sweat glands
in a not-so-comfortable way. Caffeine is a strong stimulant which causes
the release of adrenaline and that will make you sweat. Try cutting
down on how many cups of coffee you drink in a day and that should help
reduce the sweating.
- Drink plenty of water
Water
is used in the body to regulate your body temperature, so when you are
hydrated, you are cooler and you will sweat less. Aim to drink at least
eight glasses of water a day to reduce sweat.
- Lime juice
Rubbing
lime juice under your arms is a fast remedy for excessive sweating. Cut
a lime in half and gently rub under your arms, and it will reduce the
sweating and keep your armpits fresh and odour free too.
- Salt
Salt
is a great ingredient that can help reduce the activity of the sweat
glands. You can add salt to your bath water, or you can rub salt in with
some lime juice, for a quick and natural antiperspirant, deodorising
treatment.
- Choose natural fabrics
Synthetic
fabrics, such as polyester, nylon and rayon, trap the heat and the
moisture of sweat and will make you sweat more profusely. Natural
fabrics like cotton, or linen, as these are more breathable fabrics,
they will allow the cooling air to circulate more freely around your
body and reduce the sweating.
