SWEATING

Is it normal to sweat throughout the day?

In my view, sweating throughout the day is normal. It can be due to hot weather, demanding physical activities, after-effects of certain medications, anxiety, and other health conditions. A dysfunction in the sweat glands that makes them overactive can make you sweat more even when idle, a less serious condition known as hyperhidrosis.

What are the best ways to stay cool and comfortable if you sweat a lot or have a job that makes you sweat?

I recommend you;

Wear loose or baggy clothes, especially those made with natural fabrics.
Always ensure you are in a cool environment; having a fan in your workplace can be ideal.
Limit your intake of medications and foods that trigger sweating like caffeine, alcohol, and spices.
Swap your deodorants with antiperspirants.
Have an absorbent hand towel with you to dry off any sweat.
Opt for leather shoes and socks made of absorbent natural fabrics.
Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes, especially those made of nylon or any synthetic fabric.
Use anti-chafe, powders, active dry deodorants, face wipes, and cooling shower gels.
