“Can I Sweat Out Toxins That Are in My Body?

In a word, no. You may have heard that sitting in a sauna or going to a hot yoga class will help your body sweat out dangerous toxins. But your sweat is 99% water. Trace amounts of metals and other chemicals can be present in your sweat, but your kidneys and liver do most of the work when it comes to getting rid of toxins in the body.

What you eat has a bigger impact when it comes to getting rid of toxins in the body. Good nutrition helps your organs to function well. Organs and systems like the urinary, fecal, and respiratory routes do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to detoxification, so these systems need proper fuel to get the job done.

You might notice that your sweat has a strange smell after you eat certain foods. Some sulfuric vegetables, like cauliflower, cabbage, and garlic, can change the smell of your sweat.”
