WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME YOU PERSPIRED?
We're not talking about
that moistened-forehead thing from too much hot sauce on your taco, but
a full-body torrent of sweat from a normal everyday workout. Did
it feel like you were wrapped in a plastic trash bag?
Actually, per spiration
is your body's temperature
management system in action. When the air around you is too hot to let
body heat simply radiate into the atmosphere, your body uses another
method to cool itself - it sweats.
When you sweat, heat dissipates through your skin in the form of
moisture. When this moisture evaporates, it speeds the removal of heat
and helps prevent your body's core temperature from becoming too high.
There are a couple of problems with this system. The first is that
when you perspire, essential fluids and electrolytes like sodium,
potassium and chlorides, which are needed for proper cellular function
are lost. This leads to dehydration.
The second problem is your normal workout gear. It's like wearing a
mobile sauna. It traps the moisture and prevents cooling and drying.
This keeps your body's temperature management system from working as
efficiently as it should. As a result, your body has to work harder to
cool itself, using more energy, and actually increasing the production
of perspiration.
Both situations relate directly to the amount of energy remaining for
your body to perform at its peak. If you want more energy, you've got to
increase the efficiency of the cooling process. And that's easy with
McDavid InteraWearTM. Engineered specifically
to act as a moisture transport device, InteraWearTM
literally increases the body's temperature management efficiency, and
helps you perform better. At any sport. In any season.
