Sweating Is A MAJOR Part of Staying Healthy!

Did you know that sweating plays a vital role in helping you maintain good health? It helps your body perform two very important tasks:

One, it helps regulate body temperature and

two, it helps your body rid itself of waste material.

Sweat contains almost the same elements as urine. I know, sounds kinda nasty. But that's why the skin is sometimes nicknamed the third kidney.

It's estimated that as much as 30% of bodily wastes can be eliminated through perspiration.

Sauna and steam baths can also be called sweat baths.

I'll be the first to admit that the idea of "sweat bathing" doesn't sound too appealing, but consider this:

Anti-perspirants, artificial environments, smog, synthetic clothing, and a sedentary lifestyle all help clog up your skin pores and inhibit the healthy flow of sweat.

Sweat bathing aids in preventing or reversing the damaging side effects.

Hmmm... The thought of sweat bathing seems more appealing, doesn't it?
