Sweat is considered a nuisance by all of us. We equate sweat with smell and mess. That is why we buy anti-perspirants and deodorants to smell good. Is that always good for us? What about the attraction of opposite sex due to sweat? Let us talk about it
Sweat- Types
We have two types of sweat glands-aporcrine and eccrine. We are born with eccrine glands. But we develop apocrine glands only after puberty. The apocrine glands produce a different kind of sweat. This sweat is more of fatty matter. The eccrine sweat is more of water.
Apocrine sweat and pheromones-
The apocrine sweat is supposed to contain pheromones. Pheromones attract the opposite sex to us. In our quest to smell good, we remove all the apocrine sweat and along with that all the pheromones. We remove what nature gave us to attract.
Body odor and attraction-
You can keep body odor away by keeping the skin dry of eccrine sweat. That will stop the bacteria produce odor with eccrine sweat. you should remove the apocrine sweat at regular intervals. Only remove the sweat and let it not accumulate. But if you don't use a deodorant on the areas where you produce apocrine sweat, you may be surprised with the good results. Try and see.

The Awakened
By: Shane Lamotte | 28/04/2006 | Motivational
Children are the awakened. No conditioning, no thoughts consuming there mind, no ego trying to fragment reality. I find it funny because people "seeking enlightenment" are just trying to become what they once were as a child, a completely open and aware stream of consciousness with no thoughts or preconceived notions dictating or judging their experience.
