Is the sweat out toxins

We used to hear that you can get rid of harmful substances, if a good sweat. But it is not so.

Yes, with the sweat from the body are derived some harmful substances. For example, in the pot were foundHuman excretion of bisphenol A: blood, urine, and sweat (BUS) study. heavy metals and chemical bisphenol A, which also occurs in the plastic. But there is no evidence that the removal of these substances improve health.

"The statements about the benefits of saunas and other such methods are not supported by science," - says Harriet Hall (Harriet Hall), bortvrach US Air Force and the editor of the scientific site Science-Based Medicine.

99% sweat consists of water, the concentration of metal in it is very low. Most of the toxins from the body are derived liver and kidneys.

People who have elevated levels of heavy metals in the body, it is necessary medication, instead of a sauna. All other detox takes place without further assistance.

In addition, it is unclear whether the microscopic toxins indicates that you can find in the pot on the real health problems. And is there on their withdrawal at least some health benefits.

Joseph Schwartz (Joseph Schwarcz), a chemistry professor from McGill University in Montreal, compares the excretion of toxins through sweat with a situation where someone is afraid of drowning, while sitting in the bathtub. Theoretically, removing a spoonful of water, we reduce the risk of drowning - because the bath water is set to become smaller. But in fact, it is meaningless: a small amount of water does not change anything.
