Alcohol, cigarettes and drugs is also bad if you want to stop sweating. These products make it harder for the heart to pump your blood around in your body. The body needs to use more energy to do this simple work and your body gets hotter. With all the toxins included in these products your body also needs to get rid of more waste. Most of this will be eliminated through urine, but a lot of it has to be eliminated through your sweat glands.

Some bacteria that live outside your body will also help you sweat more. This is one very common reason for excessive sweating.
