sweating is a critical bodily function. trying not to sweat is like trying not to shit. waste is better out than in.

of course, in our dumb society, sweating is seen in professional environments as vulgar, impolite or crude, rather than what it is: your body is trying to cool itself. wet armpits are awesome if you can get a breeze passing through.

and, aside from deodorants, there are things people can do to reduce their stinkiness. diet can help, but a good move is to routinely get a purposeful sweat in. every older culture has a sweat ritual / thermal bathing thing. public works in ancient Rome were dominated by bathhouses. it was full blown part of the civic religion. the soviets built banyas like crazy. the Japanese onsen. Finnish sauna, Swedish batsu, Navajo tache’e’, Lakota nikagapi. it's got to be close to a cultural universal.

the idea is to regularly let the body's biological mechanisms push all those cellular waste products out everywhere they can, but to keep yourself hydrated. the skin is the largest organ, after all, and it has a complex relationship with water and letting things through.

people who don't sweat much smell wild when they do finally sweat. it's not a judgement. maybe people will stay away from such stinkies, but dogs and pigs will think those stinkies are the most magnificent humans because, as smellers, they are connoisseurs of biological smells.

so, sweat hard. sweat often. drink water. live long. hang out with dogs and pigs.
