Although there might be worse disorders to have, subjected to Hyperhidrosis is no day in the park. And many hyperhidrosis sufferers ( including myself ) will attest that it can completely consume and ruin any situation.
Hyperhidrosis is a condition where you body sweats intolerably and casually for no special reason at all . It might be 50 Degrees outside and your body is still oozing from the hands, feet, face or underarms with relentless, unbearable perspiration.
An imbalance in your body's sympathetic nervous system causes your sweat glands to be steadily triggered to launch off never-ending perspiration.
It's no exaggeration to say that hyperhidrosis can be devastating. It slowly beats down your self esteem and at the same time creates self-consciousness that others around you spot the problem too.
You DO have choices though.
Let's get to the center of this article and start curing you of this problem right away!
As horrible as hyperhidrosis is, the condition is curable. Here I'll be putting you on the correct path to beating your excessive sweating by outlining a diet guideline that may steer you clear from encouraging further sweating. Your diet lays the foundation for curing your sweat problem so don't take these tips lightly. All of the unwarranted sweating treatments build upon these tips.
It's simple enough. There are eating & drinking habits that encourage sweating and there are others that discourage it. Here, you'll be learning some of the more prominent sweat encouraging perpetrators. I'll also show you how it's possible for you to supplement your diet with items that stop sweating.
These are active measures. They stop the sweating before it begins. They'll need you to use less deodorant and spend rather less time engaging in sweat stopping home treatments. These tips don't put out the fire. They prevent it to start with.
So, let's commence with the bad news first. Here's all the stuff you shouldn't be eating and drinking. They endorse perspiration and do damage to your hyperhidrosis.
Things to Avoid:
Garlic - I give all you Italian food lovers out there my condolences. I used to like eating linguini with white clam sauce. Of course an hour after the meal, my palms, face and shirt would explode with sweat bombs. It took a while before I put 2 and two together but after a little research I came up with the rationale.
I'm going to get pretty fancy here with my medical explanation. Ready?
Garlic's powerful smelling sulfur compounds are metabolized, forming allyl methyl sulfide. Allyl methyl sulfide ( AMS ) can't be digested and is passed into the blood. From there, it's carried to the lungs and the skin, where it is excreted.
Your body throws the garlic waste out your skin and breath - hence'garlic breath'. This is like putting your hyperhidrosis on steroids with the bonus of body odour. Not so good.
Onions - Depending on the strength of the onions you are eating, you will sweat a lot or merely a small. No matter what though - you will sweat! The pungency of onions has a heating effect that elevates your circulation. This is what raises body temperature and causes sweating. This effect is basically useful in lowering fevers and sweating out colds and influenza. For you , however , it'll just feed the flame. Curve your onion eating until you get a grip on your sweating problem through other means.
Caffeine - It's found in coffee, tea, cola drinks, energy drinks, cocoa and chocolate, nonprescription drugs and prescribed drugs, weight-control aids [*COMMA] and a variety of other usually consumed items. Tea is the sole exception to this rule and I will get to that in a bit. Other than tea, keep away for some time.
The link between caffeine and your sweating is probably plain to you already. It is a stimulant, raising blood pressure, increasing circulation and heartbeat. Your body is a machine, running at a constant 98.6 degrees. Speed up the parts and you will heat up the machine.
Your morning coffee is enough to raise your internal body temperature and moisten your shirt in no time. I know it might be tough for a small number of you coffee drinkers and soda addicts out there, but attempt to cut out the caffeine at least for a little while.
Spicy Foods - Peppers and spicy dishes are blatant offenders. They cause increased sweating by speeding up your metabolic rate ( much like caffeine ). Do yourself a favor and cut them out also. Possibilities are, if you suffer from hyperhidrosis, you're already aware of the effect hot wings have on your underarms. Yikes!
Alcohol - This is a huge No No. Let me just say one fast thing about drinking with hyperhidrosis. When my sweaty hands were at their worst, I essentially found drinking one or two drinks to be helpful. When I'd drink a little bit my hands really appeared to dry up. I attributed this to the alcohol relaxing me and helping my tension prompted perspiration. Turned out I was really WRONG.
Alcohol dehydrates your body at first. That's why you find yourself going to the bathroom so much when you drink. Your body is flushing out all of its liquids. However , this is only the 1st stage. After that, your body temperature starts to climb causing the acceleration of fluids to be flushed from your sweat pores too.
Now, let's talk about what you SHOULD be drinking and eating ...
Things to Consume:
Drink lots of Water - So many people become confused by this recommendation. They suspect if they drink more water, they'll have that much more to sweat out. Actually , drinking lots of cool water will lower your internal body temperature, keeping the sweat at bay. I advocate at least 8 big tumblers of water a day. Others suggest even more . I know this advice might be hard to swallow ( yes pun intended - sorry : ). The concept of trading your unrestrained sweating problem for a case of insistent pissing isn't ideal. However , you'll have to compromise some additional loo breaks to control your hyperhidrosis.
Sage Tea - Sage Tea contains very extreme levels of tannic acid ( a natural acid ). By drinking tea, even hot tea, you can fill your body with this natural antiperspirant and stop sweating from the inside out. It's a wide spread approach towards controlling hyperhidrosis. I'll say, however , you'll want to drink about two cups a day for a minimum of a week to start reaping the benefits. Try it out.
Fruits - they will help you stop sweating AND they are incredibly healthy. It's a win-win. Fruits contain about eighty percent water. This attributes to their cooling effect. Get a healthy amount of fruit everyday ( I'm a green apple maniac myself ) and feel the results fast. I recommend at least four portions of fruit each day.
Olive Oil - Your body needs just about no effort to digest olive oil and this is where the power lies. By substituting olive oil in your diet, you'll be using your digest system more efficiently permitting it to form less heat in your body. Additionally, olive oil is a healthy fat that lowers cholesterol AND blood pressure. These two factors will also cut down on your sweating.
Whole Grains - Trade your normal white bread intake for multi grain bread. By cutting down on your processed sugar, you will lose weight which can help quite a lot. But that isn't the genuine secret of whole grains. They contain tons of B Vitamins which allow your body to function more efficiently, requiring less effort. Less effort means less heat and less heat means less sweating for you.
Other foods that are jam packed with B Vitamins include proteins ( fish, eggs, meat, and nuts ) and vegetables ( avocados, peas, sweet potatoes, carrots ).
Calcium - It's simple enough to integrate into your daily eating regime. Besides, calcium intake is vital. You should truly be doing this already. Get plenty of orange, milk, yogurt, light cheese, beans and spinach to ensure you're filling up on your desired intake.
Calcium helps hyperhidrosis by helping your body handle stress and nervousness. It's not surprising that these two feelings are heavily linked with anxiety induced perspiration. Fill up on calcium to cut down on sweat.
