How To Sweat Less - The Science of Sweating

Описание к видео How To Sweat Less - The Science of Sweating

Why do we sweat? Can we stop it? Kate swims through the science of sweating and shows you how to harness your body’s other cooling mechanisms to keep your temperature down this summer without building up a sweat. Subscribe: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibe

Humans are endothermic, and try to keep their body at a toasty consistent temperature. Stray too far from the optimum temperature, and things go downhill pretty fast. Conduction, convection, evaporation and radiation all combine to regulate our body temperature. But on a hot day, your body can get warmer from radiation and conduction. That means that evaporation is essential to keep control of your temperature. And do we cool down by evaporation? Sweating.

This film is the first in a new series that will provide the blueprint for a scientifically perfect summer. From sweating to hay fever, insects to jet lag, Kate Mulcahy will help you hack summer to engineer the perfect season. Taking a different topic each Thursday, the videos will gradually build up an equation for summer perfection; a summer survival guide certified by science.
