"Dry" Intermittent fasting with exercise is killing bacteria

[timewerx]

I just found out that my routine of "dry" intermittent fasting (dry means not drinking water in addition to not eating) is turning my sweat into a bleach-like liquid that kills bacteria.

If it's in my sweat, it's very likely in my blood too.

When I tried to soak my used workout clothes in just water (nothing else added) and then wring it and hang to dry, it developed bad odor even after fully drying meaning that bacteria had multiplied in it. while it's still moist.

If I don't soak my workout clothes in water and just hang it to dry it of my sweat, the bad odor from the previous experiment was gone. In fact, the workout clothes smelled as it was when newly bought. So it would appear my sweat not only kill all the bacteria in my clothes, it eliminated all bad odors as well.

My sweat doesn't just feel like bleach on my skin, it's having similar effect on my skin as actual bleaching agent does. It even bleached some of my colored clothes but also bleached my hair to a lighter shade of dark brown which I end up liking

I have no idea what chemical compound is in my sweat but it seems to be highly alkaline or "basic". When my sweat had evaporated from my wired earphone that I use during workout, it leaves behind a highly concentrated residue and this residue feels like fire on contact with skin and did burn my skin one time!

The reason I'm doing this is because I thought Jesus also did it. Jesus fasted regularly but also did some heavy exercising and perhaps at the same by hiking up a mountain to pray.

Jesus recommended fasting as way to drive away the most "stubborn" evil spirits from the body. I wonder if those evil spirits also included bacteria since bacteria can also cause sickness.

The skin barrier should be slightly acidic, not basic. People with red hair tend to have more acidic skin than those with other hair colors.

It could be indicative of diabetes or kidney disease. Bleach sweat seems incredibly unlikely. Does it smell of ammonia?

Based on your fasting that’s far more likely.

Yes it could be acidic but from knowledge, bacteria is more resistant to acidic than alkaline environment and more likely to survive acidic environments unless the environment is strongly acidic.

Whatever my body is making, it found its way into my mouth as well and removed all the tartar from my teeth.

That's not really a problem. The skin barrier benefits from many kinds of bacteria.

I just found out that good bacteria thrives on acidic environments and even contribute to the skin's acidity while the bad ones that can cause disease don't thrive on the acidic environment.

Probiotic bacteria are starting to be added to some hygene products, because the bacteria can be beneficial.

Skin barrier is important, a weakened skin barrier can contribute to developing allergies and immune problems.

I had an accidental discovery with my sweat while preparing lunch after workout.

My sweat was dripping in the floor in front of the stove. After I'm done preparing lunch, I took the mop to mop off my sweat that had pooled on the floor.

And then decided to mop the dusty floor of the living room as well with the mop wetted from my sweat. To my surprise, the dust stuck to the mop like on glue! It doesn't usually happen with a mop or even with a wet mop where it only moved some of the dust around. But this time, it capture ALL the dust, wow!

When it's time to rinse the move with running water, the dust came off very easily. This is definitely amazing for me. It will make cleaning of the floors much easier and faster!

I've notice before, my sweat, when it got to the screen of my phone, it's incredibly difficult to remove even when wiping it hard with dry cloth. It just sticks there while also lubricating the screen, making it very slippery. The liquid also doesn't evaporate easily. It's like oil, yet it's not.
