Is this something to be concerned about?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/22105/why-cant-i-sweat-anymore/22106#22106 Answer by Stephen-Aegis for Why can't I sweat anymore?

It could be as simple as no longer excessively insulated.</p> <p>Alternately it could be a sign of less inflammation, which is a great thing!</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/22105/why-cant-i-sweat-anymore/22109#22109 Answer by Ron Rgiss for Why can't I sweat anymore?

Eva 2011-02-06T16:50:32Z 2011-02-06T16:50:32Z <p>This would be a problem if you are overheating. If you are not overheating, then you may not have needed the sweat yet. Keep an eye on this. In extreme situations you should still sweat. If not, be ready to put water on yourself to take the place of the sweat and cool yourself down, and then see a doctor about it. However, if you are exercising and not sweating and feel fine, then I think you are fine. If you start to seriously overheat, you will feel sick and know something is not right. At that point, stop and add water to yourself if you suspect overheating. I've known people who actually do not have the ability to sweat and they have to be very careful about overheating in hot environments and during heavy exercise. However, I myself do not sweat much unless it is BOTH hot out and I am exercising heavily. I don't seem to sweat much if I'm exercising but it's cool out. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/22105/why-cant-i-sweat-anymore/22111#22111 Answer by Dexter for Why can't I sweat anymore?

I have to constantly remind myself to drink water. </p> <p>Take you weight in pounds, divide by two...the result is the amount of water in ounces to drink in water. I add 25% to my number. Keeps the body flushed out and sweating is also a process of removing toxins and is a process of cooling the body.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/22105/why-cant-i-sweat-anymore/22112#22112 Answer by Helen for Why can't I sweat anymore?

Please make sure you are drinking enough water! </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/22105/why-cant-i-sweat-anymore/34574#34574 Answer by tartare for Why can't I sweat anymore? tartare 2011-04-22T16:13:03Z 2011-04-22T17:45:17Z <p>I'm starting to think I have an iodine deficiency. Recently my skin has been really dry. It's always been on the dry side, but it seems worse. It also seems to be looking a little bit "older". I'm a woman, and we tend to sweat less, but it takes a big effort to get me to break a sweat. I don't use table salt, I use himalayan pink, cook almost everything we eat at home from scratch, but I use my salt relatively liberally. I was looking at my last blood work (02/2010) and my thyroid numbers did seem a tad weird, though I'm no doctor. TSH hypersensitive was 3.29 squiggleIU/ml (high?), t3uptake 36.9%, t4 7.2squiggle g/dl, thyroxine index free 2.7 % </p> <p>I'm really not sure how to calculate my iodine needs/intake. What I've started to do is eat a leaf of kombu daily (only 2 days so far) to kind of gradually up my iodine intake. Is this an appropriate way to navigate this situation? I've read that supplementing with iodine can be a little drastic on the system so I've been thinking adding a bit of kombu daily would be a relatively benign way to start, ideas (any insight would be much appreciated)? </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/22105/why-cant-i-sweat-anymore/99856#99856 Answer by Zachery for Why can't I sweat anymore?
