What could be the possible consequences of the body that usually does washing while sweating? ?

Question

Has it proven scientifically that washing the body while sweating can cause gout and rheumatism?

Answer 1

I've heard that all the time from my old folks back  home but I think it has no scientific basis. I have observed/seen athletes and sportspeople  taking a shower after a rigorous  exercise and after the games yet  they remained  very healthy, even enjoying long life.  

Answer 2

gout i believe is the presence of too much uric acid in the blood, while toxic wastes deposited in the body causes rheumatism,..so these two, one usually gets from a bad diet. I kept hearing about pasma,..i dont really know if it's true..

Answer 3

What?  I can't find anything about that - never heard of it.

Maybe the idea is damp causes rheumatism.  I think gout is different, different cause.

Answer 4

My grannies used to say it will make me "pasma".

My grandpa couldn't straighten his legs in his later years and my grandma says it because he loves to walk a lot and when he comes home after his long walks he'd directly wash his feet.

In any case, I don't think it will do us harm to cool down and wait a few minutes before hitting the shower.

Answer 5

Scientifically, we sweat all the time, you may not see it in your own naked eyes. Some of us are prone to get sick easily because of low immune system. And the later are signs of aging.

Answer 6

Prince Dag.... no sweat you're dead, you must as well wash up

Answer 7

I don't believe washing while sweating brings unhealthy effect on my body.  Usually right after my workout, I immediately take a brief shower.  And I still sweat after drying with my towel.

We sweat while swimming, don't we?

Answer 8

One possible consequence would be a state of cleanliness, but that would depend on whether or not soap was used to a sufficient degree by the washer.
