Sweating means that the body's air conditioning system is running. How does it help the body?

 Sweating is a natural process that helps regulate the body's temperature. When the body gets too hot, the sweat glands release sweat onto the skin, which then evaporates and helps reduce the body's internal temperature

 Sweat is mainly water, but it also contains some salts. As the water in the sweat evaporates, the surface of the skin cools. An additional function of sweat is to help with gripping, by slightly moistening the palms

 Sweating is also beneficial for the skin, as it helps flush out toxins and increases blood circulation, which gives the skin a healthy glow from the inside out

Sweat itself doesn't smell, but when the bacteria on your skin mix with your sweat, it causes an odor. Body odor can smell sweet, sour, tangy, or like onions. The amount you sweat doesn't necessarily impact your body odor. That's why a person can have an unpleasant body odor but not be sweaty. Conversely, a person can sweat excessively but not smell

. Body odor occurs due to bacteria on a person's skin breaking down protein molecules within sweat and producing odor as a result

Changes in body odor may be caused by puberty, too much sweat, or poor hygiene. Sudden changes may be triggered by the environment, your medications, or your food. It could also indicate a health problem. Everyone has a unique body odor (BO), which can be pleasant or subtle, but when we think of BO, we usually think of an unpleasant smell. However, body odor, especially sudden and persistent changes to your normal odor, can sometimes indicate an underlying condition

.

In conclusion, sweating helps regulate the body's temperature, flush out toxins, and increase blood circulation. Sweat itself doesn't smell, but when it mixes with bacteria on the skin, it can cause body odor. Sudden changes in body odor may indicate a health problem.
