Sweating takes warm water from inside the body - to the surface - where it evaporates, taking the heat with it. Therefore we cool down.

What if you can not sweat?

When I first started exercise, I would sweat so much. After a few months, the sweat stopped, even I worked really hard. I started to drink a glass of hot milk or just hot water right before exercise, guess what, I sweat again! 2nd answer: You always sweat. It may evaporate right off, so you do not notice any drops of sweat. The exception is if you are suffering from sun stroke . . . your body cannot sweat any more, and you are on the verge of dying from being too hot.


Why the sweat from a body does not evaporate easily on a hot and a sticky day?

On hot and sticky days, the humidity in the air is high, which means there is already a lot of moisture in the air. When sweat is released from the body, it cannot evaporate as easily because the air is already saturated with moisture, leaving no room for additional evaporation. This can make you feel sweatier and sticky because the sweat is not able to effectively evaporate and cool you down.
