Sweating Problems

Its not a bad smell, but different from the sweat on the rest of my body. I’ve also heard sweet sweat is a sign of diabetes, but it is only under my breasts. It also doesn’t smell bad, but almost pleasant, as far as sweat smell goes. Is it because I’m a large woman with large breasts (50DDD).
I have good hygiene – shower daily. There is no rash, just some breast acne.

It is possible to get a yeast infection under the breasts. I have had patients that had this (usually elderly when breasts sag and aren’t washed frequently, or women with large breasts). The infection is from sweat, friction, warmth and sometimes poor hygiene. Usually a yeast infection cream is applied and it goes away.

Since your additional details, it sounds like its just from sweat and friction of the underside of the breasts rubbing against your skin. If you don’t have a rash, or its not painful, then you shouldn’t worry. Just keep it clean as often as possible. I have even had some patients use baby powder to reduce the sweat.

Woah, take a look at her! Look at those abs, she’s smoking hot, ripped and sexy. Look at that guy, check out the awesome washboard! Wish you were the subject of that conversation? Want to have a great six pack, been train long and intensely for sometime but not sure why you don’t look ripped yet? Well you are in luck, here we are revealing all of those old myths that do not work and setting you straight on great ways to get abs, how to get ripped and how to get cut. Here we go:

Myth 1: More exercise is not always better. Depending on your goals there is always an optimal level of frequency and duration of exercise. For example, if you wish to build muscle mass then training a muscle group three times per week is enough, however much more than this will not allow you enough time for your muscles to recuperate and therefore your progress will come to a halt. If you are trying to lose weight running every day for an hour will more than likely cause you injury problems and leave you exhausted and prone to illness whilst also dampening your motivation. Keep the exercise fun and use an array of activities but do not forget that more is not better, maintaining a consistent attitude and determination is.

Myth 2: Exercise Y is the best exercise to do. This again is not true there is no best ab exercise. There are many different types of exercise all with different goals and positive points. However we are often influenced by marketing hype into thinking differently to that. Simply perform your favourite chosen exercise often. Some people like variety, some people like to do the same thing, it is up to you but at least do something 3-5 times per week for 20 – 30 minutes that leaves you slightly out of breathe, this is suitable for general health maintenance.

Myth 3: You should consume sugar before exercising to increase your energy levels. Consuming sugar will cause your body to release insulin in to the blood stream, this removes the sugary energy from the blood circulatory system and can leave you with lower energy levels than when you began. I think you’ll agree when I say it is rather futile then. 

Myth 4: Putting on weight is simply a normal and natural thing to happen to people as they get older. this is false information once more. Most people experience a gain in fat tissue as they get older due to the fact their lifestyle becomes more sedentary and they also allow their muscle to decrease in mass. These will both lead to gains in fatty tissue. Strength training once a week can significantly prevent body muscle mass loss and keep your metabolism working quickly.

Myth 5: If you cease working out your muscle will tunr into fat tissue. This is in fact not at all possible. Muscles will decrease in size if they are not used although it is however not possible for them to turn into fat! Fatty tissue may increase however if you halt exercising altogether but not always particularly if you properly keep an eye on your diet.

Myth 6: You need to sweat a lot in order to have a good workout. Once again this is incorrect. Every body is different and the amount you sweat is zero reflection on how hard you are working out. the amount you sweat is dependant more on things such as the type of exercise, climate, genetics and bod fat level rather than how hard you are working so don’t take this as a sign.

Myth 7: Exercising on an empty stomach will burn more fat. Weight less in the long term is more to do with net gain or loss of calories and not about when you are exercising. Therefore the time that you do the exercise is not going to be of great importance and will have very few benefits if any. Be clever and think about the long term future.

Myth 8: Doing situps will reduce my waistline. Incase you don’t already know exercising one particular bodypart will not cause you to lose weight in that part, it just doesn’t work like that. To achieve weight loss you ought to create a net loss of calories which will then mean energy comes from fat tissue somewhere in your body, this could come from any part of your body. If you wish to keep creating a calorie net loss then sooner or later it will begin to show around your waist line at some point in the not too distant future. 

Myth 9: can eat twice as much as it is fat free. Well, it is possibly correct that it may have no fat in it but it does still have calories inside and if these are ingested and go unused then they will still be stored by the body in fatty deposits around the body. Don’t be fooled by marketing hype!

Ok, so if you can make yourself stay with a sensible weight loss routine then it really is possible to decrease your weight relatively fast and painlessly, however it will not happen overnight!

So gross, I know, but my boyfriend got sweat stains on his brand new white shirt. Is it easily removable with bleach?

Oxy Clean.
Wet the stains sprinkle Oxy Clean on stains let set 45 min to an hour. Always works for me.

Good Luck

I asked a few friends to find out if they have the same experience and all do. Whenever I nap during the day, I am usually woken by the sweat covering my body. I normally wear the same things to bed that I do for napping and my thermostat setting is never changed. I wouldn’t be sweating if I was sitting at the computer or doing light housework, so why do I sweat through my sheets during a daytime nap?

It is a mechanism to keep the body from overheating, whether the defense is to something real or imagined

Honey, trust me on this…

QUESTION: I just hate my skin in the winter; it’s so dull and pasty. When I try to liven it up with make-up I end up looking like a drag queen, so what’s the solution?

ANSWER: Honestly, the solution is NOT what you do to the TOP of your skin – which is all we can see. That dull, pasty surface tells the sad story of all the holiday fun, food, and fat we indulged in. Also, January is “get back to work” time with short, dark days creating a shut-in environment for us. If your skin is looking sluggish it’s because your circulation and organs are sluggish. Bottom line reality: Rev everything up inside with aerobic exercise of any kind, and it will jettison rich blood and oxygen to your muscles, through your skin, and out your pores. I don’t need to tell you what kind of aerobics to do because you know what they are: Just move your body and move it fast! What you want is that pink, moist glow…right? Trust me, working up a good, honest “sweat like a horse” is the one and only path to a peaches and cream complexion. While you’re at it, here are the token side effects: You will #1: detoxify the sins of December (well, dietary ones anyway); #2: energize your brain cells and elevate your mood with happy endorphins so you can actually KEEP a FEW New Year’s resolutions; #3: get a light year’s head start on (ugh!) swimsuit season by throwing in squats and lunges; a few dozen will, literally, kick your butt and make you pant for dear life. If your lower body doesn’t need any fine tuning (you bitch), just sit in a sauna or steam and let the sweat flow…same result. One caveat to skin purging, though, is: If you don’t exfoliate diligently (especially your face), you’re begging for clogged pores and blemishes. Don’t expect luminous skin if you don’t sweep away dead skin cells so the poison can escape. But you should already know, from this girl, that exfoliation is a year-round requirement anyway. Be prepared: if you work up a heart-pumping, red-face sweat every day and wear an endorphin smile, your friends might start begging to know what’s going on in the bedroom. You don’t HAVE TO tell them you got your “afterglow” at Sportsclub L.A.!

QUESTION: The number of facial moisturizers and anti-aging products on the market makes my head spin, and they all make the same outrageous claims. How’s a girl supposed to choose one?

ANSWER: You’re so right about all the products and claims. There’s, literally, a new product introduced every day with every new product’s ingredient list more exotic and outlandish than the one before. (I remember when placenta cream was considered really “out there.”) Then along comes caviar cream and even copper cream. Believe it or not, scientists are toiling away right now in their labs trying to reproduce vernix (the white, waxy coating on a baby while it’s in the womb) which will, allegedly, be the next miracle moisturizer! Anyway, please trust me on this: Feed your skin cells like your body cells. By that I mean anti-oxidants (vitamins C, E, A), proteins from milk, and superfoods like spirulina and royal jelly. Look for them all in a base emollient of evening primose oil or shea butter, and you’ve got the true formula for a peachy, perfect complexion! Whatever you do, though, avoid anything with perfume or colorings. Come on, pink may be prettier, and we all like a good fragrance, but would you aim an atomizer of Chanel No. 5 at your face? Of course not, and massaging it in is even worse. Why do you think women suffer so many mysterious irritations and breakouts after spending $150 for a small jar of pastel perfumed “24 hour, Turn Back the Clock Treatment”? Just read those labels and shop for purity; but, whatever you do moisturize with, don’t forget Sandy’s #1 rule: exfoliate every day, or leave the glow down below!

A strong immune system is vital for a long, healthy, and active life. A strong immune system is important to good health. You can help your immune system remain strong by following these easy tips.

The immune system is built around white bloodcells, amino acids and specialized organs. Its is designed to eliminate and destroy virus, toxins, dead cells, and mutated cells like cancer cells.

Release Toxins

Clean the natural exits that clean toxins from your body. This includes the bowels and the skin. Drink pure water to increase the urine is clear. This will require five pints of water a day. You should also have a bowl movement every day.

Clean the sweat from your body. sweating a couple times a week will expedite cleaning toxins from the body, but only if the sweat is cleaned away. If sweat is not cleaned away, or the skin pours are blocked, then toxins are trapped in the fat muscles under the skin.

Clean the Blood

There are several foods that help clean the blood. The blood is the heart of the immune system. While 70 per cent of your immune system is in your bowels, the blood is responsible for white blood cell creation and cleaning away toxins.

Season Changes

Herbs and tonics are often prescribed during a season change to help adapt to the new climate. By planning ahead you can reduce the frequency and severity of catching the common cold and flu. Herbs that help are astragalus, ganoderma and cordyceps.

Use herb supplements. Natural products have different levels of the compounds that help the immune system, and they may include toxins.

Garlic has a good reputation, but most people will never eat enough to help. Ginger, onions, and citric fruits are good. The most important habit should be eating a well balanced diet that includes different colors of fruits and vegetables.

Keep in mind that while these herbs are effective individually, they should be prescribed in the content of an herbal formula to enhance synergistic action and minimize possible side-effects.

Reduce Sugar Intake

Only 8 tbsp. of sugar, or one can of soda, will reduce the body’s ability to create white blood cells and kill germs by 40 percent. The immune-suppressing effect of sugar begins within thirty minutes and may last for five hours.

Alcohol

Alcohol harms the body’s immune system in two ways. First, it deprives the body of immune- boosting nutrients. Second, it can reduce the ability of white cells to kill germs.

Three or more drinks damage to the immune system.

Cut Fat

Obesity may lead to a depressed immune system effecting the white blood cell’s ability to multiply, produce antibodies, and rush to the site of an infection.

Emotions

A recent experiment in the New England Journal of Medicine (Cohen ‘91) confirmed that this is a correlation between emotions and the immune system. The researcher gave almost 400 people a psychological stress questionnaire designed to measure helplessness and negative emotions.

He then gave them nose drops containing cold virus. The chances of getting cold symptoms turned out be amazingly predictable from the test scores.

So, if you want to be healthy, watch your diet, stay away from alcohol an sugar, and find something to smile about.

I have a Serta mattress that I would like to sell. It is in great shape, but it has some sweat stains on it that I want to remove before selling it? What is the best way to remove these? Thanks!

How to remove stains from mattress?

Also known as “tinea pedis” or “foot ring-worm,” athlete’s foot is known to be common condition to people above 12 or 15 years old. This skin disease is common because the fungi that causes can be found in areas where people usually use the same facility like swimming pools, showers, locker rooms, and other warm and damp areas.

TREATING THE COMMON SKIN CONDITION

Although athlete’s foot can be found in areas where you cannot avoid, it doesn’t mean that you cannot treat or prevent it once you have acquired it. Medical experts say that this disease can be persistent and difficult to eliminate completely and totally but can be treated by having proper hygiene and by using medication administered by a professional.

The first step in treating athlete’s foot is by developing a basic routine. This routine should include means of keeping the feet or the infected area always clean and dry. Since the athlete’s foot causing fungi thrive in moist, damp and warm areas, you should make sure that you eliminate possible environments for it to grow.

You should also make sure that you wear clean socks all the time and you have a spare pair or pairs so you can change it right away once it gets soaked with sweat. Medical experts say that white cotton socks or those made from natural fibers are the most ideal for those who suffer from athlete’s foot.

Aside from wearing cotton socks, make sure that you avoid wearing tight or non-porous shoes whenever possible. Wearing open-toe sandals or shoes can also help in keeping the feet well-ventilated and dry.

Another effective athlete’s foot treatment also involves medication. A patient can treat athlete’s foot by applying anti-fungal topical medication directly on the infected area. Today, there are lots over-the-counter anti-fungal medications that can be purchased without a doctor’s prescription or referral. These creams usually contain substances that are proven to kill fungi like miconazole, tolnaftate, and clotrimazole.

The application of these creams should only be once a day. If the fungal infection of the foot gets worse or does not subside after application of topical medication, a dermatologist or a physician may prescribe oral anti-fungal medication such as pill or tablets to kill the persistent and recurrent skin disease.

Aside from a cleanliness routine, make sure that you also take preventive steps and measures to keep the fungus from coming back. You can do this by keep the feet dry so the medication can pass through the pores of the affected area, avoiding areas that houses facilities that everybody can use or wearing sandals if you can’t avoid going to places like gym, shower or locker room, changing socks often, and by using talcum powder on your feet to keep it dry.

Here are some tips on how to prevent athlete’s foot fungi from making your foot their home.

1. Wear a sandals

Don’t give the fungus the opportunity to reach your feet and adhere to the skin. When in a public shower room, in gyms, in locker rooms or even in resorts, make sure that you are wearing sandals while inside. Remember that tinea pedis, the fungus that causes athlete’s foot can survive in puddles of water, just waiting for some foot to get close so that they can adhere to it.

2. Wear socks.

It may seem a really simple solution but wearing socks can help you a lot when it comes to preventing the occurrence of athlete’s foot. A fresh pair of socks can help in the absorption of moisture and sweat in your foot especially when inside a tight rubber shoes. One advice though is to make sure that you don a fresh pair every time. Reusing your socks can only exacerbate the condition or lead to an infection because sweat can be good a breeding ground for the fungus.

3. Dry your feet

After washing your feet, use a towel to wipe the moisture dry before putting on your shoes. Make sure that you wipe dry all the areas of the foot especially the areas in between the toes. It will also help if you can apply a talc powder to help keep the moisture and the sweat at bay during the day.

Okay, this is a little oddly worded. I just ate some hot peppers. Then I went for a run, and I was sweating, and the sweat was almost burning my skin. As if I rubbed the hot peppers directly on my face. Do peppers sweat out or something? Why is this?

hahahaha…sorry this question was so funny…..hahaha…no my dear the pepper you have eaten never goes to your skin..as long as i know(as a doctor) but i assume you might have a fungal skin condition called tinea versicolor that can cause itching and burning of the skin after sweating..the reason is the spores of this fungus go deep into the hair follicles where the sweat glands are located too..when you run and you sweat these spores come to the surface of your skin and you feel your skin is burning….you should take a showwer and apply some over the counter antifungal cream where ever it is burning..that will go away.

I have a hat, which is part of a work uniform. I wear it in hot environs and thus sweat profusely. It has developed a characteristic odor. I cannot wash it in the machine and do not want to send to the dry cleaners.

Febreeze and other perfumes are not high on my list because of a sensitivity to them, and I merely want to eliminate the odor, not replace it.

Any help will be graciously appreaciated.

My recomendation is to: go to your kitchen: grab the baking soda, go to your bathroom: grab your peroxide, locate a nail brush, and get a towel… then sit down and make a paste with the two and dip the brush into it and scrub the areas of concern…. then with another liberally damp towel (after adequete scrubbing (and time passing) with reasonably sloppy amounts of paste) begin to remove the paste with the wet towel; rinsing and wringing the towel under a faucet.

Then afterwords, dry the hat amply with a dry towel, then let air dry overnight (in an air conditioned house or low humidity somehow). Then there should be no problems. Then in a few weeks, if the smell returns, repeat the process… Good Luck!

Oh by the way…

My reasoning thus follows…

Baking soda=odor absorber

Hydrogen Peroxide=anti-microbial agent

The odor is caused by living bacteria which must be eliminated and the odor will remain after they are gone, hence the need for baking soda.

Second=Do not Wash certain hats… like wool derbys… hmmm duh… also ball caps which have cardboard shapers may become mal-shaped after a foolish stint in a washing machine… which may not even completely help the problem (I know I have tryed and ruined one and still had a smelly hat).

I added this last bit because I have noticed some advice here that may leave you with an awkward moment with your supervisor when he asked what the current trends in headwear are and when mangling became standard in uniform practices here at JoJacks HatWearers…[sic.]

Best luck! Take my advice, you won’t be sorry.
