First, let me explain about sweat. Sweat is one of your body’s ways of ridding itself of toxins and waste products like urea, lactic acid, excess salt, even the poisonous chemicals in tobacco if the person uses it in any form. The skin is called a “third kidney” because it can eliminate as much as two pounds of dissolved waste per day in the form of sweat. If the kidneys are not working well, the skin can be used as a temporary backup. Urine is about 94% water and 6% waste material; sweat is only a little less concentrated at 96% water and 4% waste.
There are two points to be made here…
