Why do we sweat?
You're running, dancing, or just sitting in the hot sun, and suddenly — you're wet. Tiny drops appear on your forehead, your arms, your back. What's going on? Why is your body making you damp?
Here's the thing: your body is a furnace. Every move you make — every step, every thought, every heartbeat — creates heat inside you, like a tiny fire burning fuel. That's how you stay alive and moving. But too much heat? That's dangerous. Your brain, your organs, they all need to stay at about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit to work right.
