There was a reason that winter is more likely to sweat!What is smell measures in the cold season?

　You may have the experience of having an unpleasant smell when you take off your coat and boots when you take off your coat and boots in the cold season.In modern winter, it is easy to sweat, so it can be said that smell is likely to occur.Sweat that has been secretly secreted has no smell.It is said that sweat is mixed with sebum on the surface of the skin, and bacteria decompose it, causing a stiff substance.The sour, rotten smell is created by bacteria, not sweat itself.Sweat -smell components that people feel uncomfortable include lactic acid, acetic acid, iso daimon, isoyoshi -grassic acid, ammonia, lipids, etc., and these are like a strong acidity and animal odor due to the resident bacteria of the skin.It turns into a complex stench.In the human body, such components are included in the apocrine glands of the sweat glands and the sides of the sides of the skin of the skin, the soles of the eccrine glands of the sweat glands, and the scalp in which the sebaceous glands are developed contains such ingredients.Is easy to occur.The only sensation of the five senses is to be transmitted directly to the brain.When a person catches the smell, the "smell information" is transmitted to the emotional and instinct -related system, and it is also transmitted to the hypothalamus related to the balance of the autonomic nervous system and hormones, and the amygnal that controls emotions.Therefore, if you notice an unpleasant smell, you will be unpleasant or stressful.There are some familiarity and individual differences in how you feel the smell, but it can be said that it acts on your mind and body rather than we are conscious.

　There are three reasons why it tends to smell.Let's take a look with each petit countermeasure.<1.It is easy to get stuffy because the room is warm.If you wear it out, you will sweat.In particular, tights and boots have a long time to wear, so if you stay in a warm room for a long time, it will be easier to get stuffy.When it feels like something smells in winter, the smell that has caused sweat may increase the "odor concentration" by keeping it in thick clothing.When moving indoors and outdoors on the go, it is a good idea to adjust the temperature with a layering that can be taken off or put on.It is also recommended to use deodorant powder or sweat wiping sheets without being alert because it is winter.<2.There are many clothes that are not washed frequently, such as thick coats and sweaters.The clothing accumulates the "double odor" that adds to your own sweat and the smell attached from the outside.If you store clothing and accessories with the smell on them in the home closet, the entire closet may be in the room or the room will smell.Winter clothing and accessories that cannot be washed immediately can be easily removed by hanging in a well -ventilated place after hanging in the bathroom after bathing.It is also a good idea to use aroma deodorant spray for clothing well.In addition, it is recommended to wear inner -absorbing and quick -drying materials for body sweating measures so that sweat does not move to the outerwear.<3.When cold, sweat gland function decreases and sweat becomes thicker.If you sweat in that state, it will not be a well -filtered sweat, but a "dark sweat" that has not been filtered well will come out.Bacteria break down the sweat as food, making it easier to generate odors with increased discomfort.This is why you get sweaty than summer.To avoid as much as possible, try to sweat in winter, such as a moderate exercise or a bath that is immersed in a bathtub.If it is difficult to soak in the bathtub, we recommend a "hand bath" that puts your hands in hot water.Put the hot water of about 40 degrees in a bucket, etc. and soak your hands for about 10 minutes while wearing clothes.Warming your hands will improve your body blood circulation and get a satisfaction of taking a whole body, so it is attracting attention in nursing care.You can also relax by using self -massage and your favorite aroma.It is also important to balance the autonomic nervous system that controls sweat.If you are worried about the smell of sweat even though it's cold, why not try clothing and sweat measures?The smell of the smell is each person.Everyone is sweat, but if you are worried, you can consult a reliable medical institution.I want to start a year comfortably with a little care.[Reference] Smell / Kaori Environmental Association, P in "smell and smell substance".76, 2003 Ministry of the Environment, Air Life Environment Campaign "Dish / Kaori Environmental Society Magazine" 35 (2) P.30, 2004
