Meat sweats are real ... but meat isn't the only culprit.
Whether you’re outside in scorching temperatures or you’ve just finished an intense workout, there are lots of reasons why you may break a sweat. One culprit for extra perspiration that’s not talked about as much: the foods and drinks you’re consuming.
“Sweating after eating [or drinking] may look different for everyone, [but] it often occurs around the face, neck or forehead,” explained Yasi Ansari, a registered dietitian nutritionist and an Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson. “People sweat to help cool the body down … It’s a way to help with temperature regulation.”
Though foods and beverages can affect each person differently, there are some that are more likely to trigger sweat glands than others. We talked to experts about edible ingredients that may increase your sweat or reduce it — and how to know when you should seek help for excessive sweating.
How do sweat glands relate to food?
We have 2 million to 4 million sweat glands throughout our bodies, and the majority are “eccrine glands,” according to the International Hyperhidrosis Society.
