Getting Sweaty!

When you play a sport or ride your bike, you sweat. You might even sweat on a hot day without doing anything at all. Sweating might seem gross, but its important. Its our bodys way of cooling off.

.

.

Body Temperature

Your body likes to stay the same temperature all the time98.6F (37C). When youre active or the day is hot, your body temperature can rise. This can also happen when youre sick. When your body temperature rises, you may start to sweat.

.

.

How We Sweat

When your body gets too hot, it sends messages to your brain. The brain sends messages to special organs called sweat glands. A gland is an organ that makes something the body needs to work properly. Sweat glands make sweat.

Our sweat is made almost entirely of water. It also contains very small amounts of salt, sugar, and other chemicals. Sweat exits the skin though tiny holes called pores. Once sweat is outside the body, its sometimes called perspiration (puhr-spuh-RAY-shun).

Why Do We Sweat?

Our body temperature rises when were active. This can also happen on a hot day. Air makes sweat on your skin evaporate, which helps cool you off. This keeps your body temperature from getting too high, which can be dangerous.

.

.

Sometimes you may sweat when youre nervous or scared. During these times, glands in your body work harder to make chemicals that help you deal with these feelings. Some of these chemicals affect the sweat glands and make you sweat.

.

.

You may also sweat when youre sick or have a fever. However, sweating too much every day can mean something is wrong. Listen to your body. If you commonly sweat for no reason, you should go see a doctor.

.

.

I Stink!

Most people know that sweat can make you stink. However, sweat itself has no smell at all. The bad smell comes from tiny creatures that live on our skin called bacteria. The bacteria feed on sweat and change it into chemicals that stink!
