MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Glands can be divided into two categories, according to the Mayo Clinic: eccrine and apocrine. Eccrine glands are located almost everywhere on your body and their role is to keep you cool.

Detailed explanation-2: -The purpose of sweating is not to purge the body of toxins but to cool it down through evaporation. Sweat from eccrine sweat glands-those covering most of the body-is 99% water and contains only very small amounts of salts, urea, and carbohydrates, all of which are natural by-products of bodily processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, sweat is not made up of toxins from your body, and the belief that sweat can cleanse the body is a myth. “You cannot sweat toxins out of the body, ‘’ Dr. Smith says. “Toxins such as mercury, alcohol and most drugs are eliminated by your liver, intestines or kidneys.”
