Your body releases sweat to help regulate its body temperature to prevent you from overheating
Sweating also helps your body to eliminate toxins, which supports proper immune function and helps prevent diseases related to toxic overload
Sweating may help kill viruses and bacteria that cannot survive in temperatures above 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as on the surface of your skin
