Excessive sweating is a condition medically known as hyperhidrosis. The body has between two to four million sweat glands which are unevenly distributed all over. They are densely concentrated in areas such as the underarms, feet and hands.
But this does not mean that they cannot be densely concentrated elsewhere as well. People who sweat excessively have over active sweat glands almost everywhere. This is what leads to too much perspiration.
Sometimes, this problem can also be inherited. The most embarrassing part is when the perspiration is smelly and causes social discomfort as well. There is very little you can do about sweating too much. There are easily available anti perspirants over the counter that can be used to help you out, but it would be wiser to remember that excessive use of anti perspirants is also an unhealthy practice. Sweat is the body's way to regulating temperature and adjusting to a higher temperature outside. Trying to suppress it too much can also harm you over a long period of time.
The only measures you can take are to bathe twice a day and check what you eat. The foods you eat can sometimes raise your body's temperature and make you perspire more. If you already have this problem, you should try to avoid food that is too spicy and hot in nature. This kind of food will keep your body temperature high and make you sweat even more. Similarly, meat is also something that will contribute towards raising your body temperature. Furthermore, spicy, rich and meaty food will also add to unpleasant body odors because it will make your sweat smell strongly. You should also try to avoid foods like onions, garlic, fish, red meat and curries. These foods will manifest themselves as an all permeating stench in your sweat.
