This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Most Anticipated Book of the Summer A taboo-busting romp through the shame, stink, and strange science of sweating. Sweating may be one of our weirdest biological functions, but it’s also one of our most vital and least understood. In The Joy of Sweat, Sarah Everts delves into its role in the body—and in human history. Why is sweat salty? Why do we sweat when stressed? Why do some people produce colorful sweat? And should you worry about Big Brother tracking the hundreds of molecules that leak out in your sweat—not just the stinky ones or alleged pheromones—but the ones that reveal secrets about your health and vices? Everts’s entertaining investigation takes readers around the world—from Moscow, where she participates in a dating event in which people sniff sweat in search of love, to New Jersey, where companies hire trained armpit sniffers to assess the efficacy of their anti-sweat products. In Finland, Everts explores the delights of the legendary smoke sauna and the purported health benefits of good sweat, while in the Netherlands she slips into the sauna theater scene, replete with costumes, special effects, and towel dancing. Along the way, Everts traces humanity’s long quest to control sweat, culminating in the multibillion-dollar industry for deodorants and antiperspirants. And she shows that while sweating can be annoying, our sophisticated temperature control strategy is one of humanity’s most powerful biological traits. Deeply researched and written with great zest, The Joy of Sweat is a fresh take on a gross but engrossing fact of human life.

This book was released on 1996-05-15 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the research pertaining to nutrient requirements for working in cold or in high-altitude environments and states recommendations regarding the application of this information to military operational rations. It addresses whether, aside from increased energy demands, cold or high-altitude environments elicit an increased demand or requirement for specific nutrients, and whether performance in cold or high-altitude environments can be enhanced by the provision of increased amounts of specific nutrients.
Download or read book Perspiration Research written by H. Yokozeki and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research into perspiration has developed dramatically during the last 15 years, continually improving our understanding of the pathogenesis of sweating disorders. It has become clear that, in addition to its temperature-regulating function, perspiration offers bactericidal protection as well. In this book, select authors further broaden our perspective on perspiration. Contributions cover a variety of new aspects, offering insight into the sweat glands' major role during the onset of disorders such as parapsoriasis, lichen planus, and lichen amyloidosis. They also highlight the importance of Malassezia - an allergen in sweat that exacerbates atopic dermatitis and cholinergic urticarial. Further roles of the sweat glands are discussed, including as storage of stem cells for replenishing epidermal cells in the case of thermal burns or as water retention sites for replenishing moisture in the stratum corneum. In addition, a novel analysis of the sweat glands' three-dimensional structures, using high-speed en-face optical coherence tomography (OCT), is introduced. Offering an in-depth overview of the latest knowledge in perspiration research, this book serves as an essential reference for all medical staff and researchers in the field.
Download or read book Help I m Sweating written by Dietmar Stattkus and published by Dietmar Stattkus. This book was released on 2006 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help! I'm sweating! Causes Phenomena Therapies Approximately 3 % of the population suffer from pathological perspiration. For those affected, this is extremely stressful in terms of occupation, health and psycho-socially. Pathological perspiration, whose medical term is hyperhidrosis, may occur in generalized or localized form. In most cases, a functional disorder of the sweat glands is the cause of this complex clinical picture. What many of its sufferers do not know: Here are effective treatment options. In dermatological therapy practice, the application of a stepwise treatment is widely practiced. Depending on the clinical manifestation, the therapy options range from stress management through external applications and physical treatments to pharmacotherapy and surgical measures. This book provides a detailed overview of the causes, clinical phenomena and treatment options for hyperhidrosis and its special form bromhidrosis, also called fetid sweat. Competent medical specialists have contributed decisively to the configuration of the contents. "Help! I'm sweating!" provides the people affected with the opportunity to recognize their disease, to accept it and to communicate with their surroundings in order to experience healing or at least some relief in cooperation with expert and responsible doctors.
