Dear Reader, Body suits, body wraps, plastic wrap, or any other formulated fashion that promotes profuse perspiration does not lead to increased fat burning or fat loss. Absolutely no benefit comes from this practice, plus tremendous harm can result. The athletes were attempting to lose weight by wearing these suits while exercising in hot weather. Many additional reports of similar close calls were reported after this news broke. Body suits cause you to sweat like a moose in heat on a hot Texas prairie, but don't allow the sweat to dry.
Evaporation is important because it cools the body.
As a result, wearing a body suit raises your body temperature, possibly to unsafe levels. This danger is compounded by changes in blood chemistry. A portion of perspiration originates from blood fluids. As you sweat more, blood volume is reduced, which limits the flow of oxygen to working muscles and organs. A 2 percent drop in body weight through fluid loss can produce significant changes in your body's response to exercise, with continued fluid losses leading to weakness, dizziness, mental confusion, and even coma and death.
