Do Enemas Cause Excessive Sweating?

I like to stay fit and exercise at the gym several times a week. My routine is 1 hour of heavy cardio, getting my heart rate up to about 140-145, followed by an hour of strength training. Due to my schedule, this is usually in the early evening. I have found that if I take an enema (2 quarts) in the morning/afternoon, I perspire a lot more than usual during the cardio...I mean significantly more to the point that it's almost embarrassing! I assume this is due to hydration from the enema? Seems kind of strange though.

Does anyone else experience this or something else when they exercise after an enema?

Arianna, I don't see what one has to do with the other considering several hours have gone by, could it be that the weather is warming up?

That is strange Arianna, how much are you taking, 1 or 2qts should not have that kind of affect, also, what are you thinking about during exercise sessions?

Marvin,

Two quarts.

Yes, I know. At first I thought I was imagining it...and dismissed it, but there's a definite correlation/pattern.

Haha - when I work out I'm thinking about how I can burn more fat and build lean muscle!

Arianna

Arianna, does is make a difference if the weather is warm or cold, humidity could be a factor.

Marvin,

The only diff. could be that the temp. inside the gym varies. It's heated and cooled year 'round, of course. Who knows!

I have taking many enemas in the morning,then went outside to cut grass or chop wood on warm days.I did perspire a lot doing these chores but I perspire a lot on warm days anyway but on cold days,I do not perspire as much after an enema.However,I always use salt in my enema solution,perhaps that makes a differance.

The one thing I did noticed about morning enemas as compared to nightime enemas,morning enemas make me feel less energentic and weaker.I have read many times on this very site that enemas make people relax more.I know I feel more relaxed after an enema,that's why I prefer to give myself enemas at nightime.Let the good times flow. w/m72yrs/W.MA

I walk between 2-4 miles every day and have noticed no difference in my ability to do so after having had some enemas. 😃

Try walking while holding your enema with an aid of a butt plug or exercise while receiving an enema, now that's fun..... 😶

Arianna:

If your enema is just plain water and perhaps, you are not fully emptying yourself or not quick enough, it is possible that some water goes into your system and you sweat a lot. Other explanation is sweating is the cooling system of the body to regulate the internal temperature. May be after enema, your internal temperature is off and exercise is not helping the issue. Just a thought, not an opinion. 😁

Formal excercise is not part of my routine--I walk a lot at work, do lots of lifting and have a big garden--so my body is in pretty good shape

I usually take my enemas in the morning--occassionally at night--the most important thing I notice is that my body feels relaxed and loose after--cannot think of any correlation with water output by sweating--

I think we all have our own physiology--not sure we can say what might be true for someone else

my chiropracter is taking an interest tho--she is studying (researching) about how coffee enemas work on the bodies systems--she thinks my protocol is very interesting---

LOL--my MD--is "nervous" about my protocol--I just grinned at her--

I have not had those results when I have taken an enema. I will experiment more with that in mind to see if there are any results. I also imagine that the hydration is the reason and I would have expected your body to eliminate the excess water during the day before you excerise. On the other hand if you are dehyderated most of the time then the enema might provide the required amount of hydration for your system and allow you to prespire.

An interesting observation, but not one with an obvious explanation. It's hard to explain things in terms of hydration. The large bowel (where the enema goes!) is very effective at absorbing fluid and any hypotonic enema - that's to say one that doesn't contain much in the way of dissolved material - will be accompanied by some fluid absorption, rather like having a drink. But the body's response to hydration is to produce more urine, not to sweat. Which is why an enema is often followed by a rapidly filling bladder. It's true that sweating is reduced if you are dry ("dehydrated") when you exercise, but simply taking on board extra fluid shouldn't make you sweat more if you are adequately hydrated to begin with. It should just make you pee more! In the end I can only think of two possibilities, assuming that your observation is indeed for real: either you tend to be inadequately hydrated when you exercise on days when you haven't had an enema; or you tend to use something in the enema which causes vasodilatation or flushing of the skin, which in turn increases sweating. Now there's an interesting study here for someone...
