Is it bad to sweat too much?

i work outside doing construction. i feel like i sweat a gallon of water a day! i drink alot of water, probably arond a gallon and i only go to the bathroom once. when i am outside within 30 minutes the top of my shirt is soaked. everytime i pick something up or just around every 5 seconds i have to wipe my forehead. its just a pain in the ***. i was thinking about taking some more sodium in my diet but its not like i have low sodium diet. i have plenty. i thought about sodium pills but i dont want to gain water weight. any suggestions? or is this just genetics and cant control it

Well the high-sweating can be genetic (and no, it has nothing to do with sodium), but because you work out side and sweat a lot, this can a few health problems. Did you know you lose a lot of electrolytes in your sweat? That's why when athlete's sweat, they need to replenish the electrolytes lost by having a sports drink. Try drinking gatorade or propel or powerade while you're on the job to replace the important electrolytes you lose. There isn't much you can do to controll the fact that you have active sweat glands though, sorry. The only place where you have controll over that is in your armits, where obviously you would use anti-persperinte (as you probably already do).
