Don’t Sweat It

Sweat is something we are all familiar with. Sweat is the body’s mechanism to cool itself down. The average person has over 2.6 million sweat glands. There are two different types of sweat glands; the majority of sweat glands on your body are eccrine, these are the glands you have on your forehead, on your hands and on your feet. The eccrine glands are active from birth, and produce sweat free of proteins and fatty acids. The apocrine glands are in your arm pits and in your genital area. The apocrine glands usually end in hair follicles and become active during puberty. The sweat produced by the apocrine glands contains proteins and fatty acids. So remember eccrine glands contain no protein or fatty acids but the apocrine glands do.
