Reabsorbing sweat/water weight??

[mo chuisle]

Hey, I have kind of an OCD question ...

Does anyone know if your body reabsorbs the water you sweat out during a workout? At that point, your pores are open, and water is either sitting on your skin or on your shirt ... so is it possible that your body could reabsorb that water if you don't wipe the sweat off or change your shirt?

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but someone at the gym asked me and it got me thinking about it.
Thanks!

Yes it can be reabsorbed in small amounts but the majority evaporates, if you would like to know more go here: **broken link removed**

Thanks for the info, DW! It's prolly something most people don't think about.

IMO it would be a miniscule amount probably not even measurable. We would blow up in the shower or bath if we absorbed it to any extent.

LOL! That is not a pretty mental picture.

I dont think anyone would wanna see me in the shower ... lol ...But I do understand the validity of the quesiton and someone wanting to have as much tightness to their skin condition as possible (a huge prob for me until water intake reduction).

Can you imagine what would happen if you fell asleep in the hot tub - or even the steam room for that matter

water

We cut weight often for tournaments in my sport. It mostly can absorb via skin once you are dehydrated to a certain point. We cut 10lbs or more in water so we wipe off often to avoid it since we are so dry, but for normal day to day it isnt happening much if at all.

i can imagine what happens when you fall asleep in the hot tub or even the steam room EVEN WITHOUT absorbing water into your skin.

dont think thats ever a good idea

Can you imagine what would happen if you didnt bump a 6 year old thread

That's funny, I didn't think Mo posted here anymore. Her and her man went bye bye from PM.
