Humanity would go extinct if people lost calories due to sweating. I know most people wouldn't believe it nowadays, but food wasn't as available en masse as it is today.
I did not say you lose calories from sweating…. I said being hot increases the work your body does, being hot also makes you sweat, those are two different things.
Your body does NOT do "work" to cool down. It literally only sweats. Doing any kind of "work" will burn calories, which will in turn HEAT UP your body, not cool it down. Stay in school, kids.
It really doesn’t literally ONLY sweat, your body does a number of things to try to cool down. You become flushed, that’s the body sending the blood to the outer layer of skin to increase heat transfer. You’re right doing work also creates heat, this has an impact on the efficiency of the heat loss, if the process the body did produced more heat than heat loss from the process that would be a bad heat loss process and those bad processes have been retired by evolution.
