As reported by iVillage,  here are 8 things that can make your body sweat, namely:

1. Hot coffee

Coffee can increase sweat through the first two methods, namely caffeine stimulates the central nervous system to activate the sweat glands, so the more caffeine you consume, the more sweat production.

Secondly, the heat from the drink itself can make you feel quite hot and sweaty. Thermal aspect is applicable to all types of hot beverages, regardless of caffeine content or not.

2. Synthetic fabrics

Wearing clothes made of synthetic fabrics like polyester and acrylic body can trigger excessive sweating. So avoid wearing clothes made of synthetic fabric while it is in an important event.

The main purpose of sweating is to cool the body temperature. Synthetic fabrics prevent sweat evaporate, which in turn increases the body’s efforts to cool off. Instead, use a cloth with natural materials, like cotton or silk, to keep you dry.

3. Spicy foods

Eating spicy foods can increase the production of sweat. Your brain actually reacts to capsaicin, a substance that makes chili peppers hot is to activate the sweat glands work. However, not everyone has the same reaction to spicy foods.

In some women, estrogen levels drop so low in the days before menstruation can cause one to feel the heat. Although it is more common in perimenopausal women, but also can occur in women with hormone levels changing dramatically.

6. Aperitif

Experts say that alcohol makes you hot through a process called vasodilation, ie widening of blood vessels that increase skin temperature. In turn, the brain sends signals to the sweat glands to cool the body through sweating.

7. Cigarette

Nicotine in cigarettes also cause you to perspire easily as it affects hormone levels, skin and brain. Nicotine increases heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature, all of which trigger perspiration.
