What Your Body Odor Reveals About Your Health

If you smell sweaty and sweat too much…

you need to be tested for hyperhidrosis, which is, basically, excessive sweating. Although neurologic, endocrine, infectious, and other systemic diseases can sometimes cause hyperhidrosis as well, most cases occur in people who are otherwise healthy. Heat and emotions may be triggers for hyperhidrosis, but many people who suffer from this disorder sweat mostly in their waking hours — even in normal temperatures and without any stress. The main sweat zones of the human body are the armpits, groin area, and feet.
