Diet: Your autonomic (automatic) nervous system is out of balance. This is a two channel system known as sympathetic and parasympathetic. One (sympathetic) is the action system while the other is to regulate body systems when you are in safe surroundings. Sweating is caused by sympathetic action when you are active. Easiest way to initiate this unnecessarily is sugar in the diet. Get rid of it.
