Caño Cristales. Depending upon the season, the waters of this Colombian river run red, green, blue, yellow, or orange. Some refer to it as the 'Liquid Rainbow' while others opt for the more poetic 'river that ran away from paradise.' Photo: Getty Number 9.
Lake Hillier. Though it looks like something that belongs on the grounds of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, this bright pink lake is actually in Australia. It isn't the world's only rose-tinged body of water, but it does possess the unique ability to retain its color when temperatures shift. Why that is remains unknown. Photo: Getty Number 8.
Cave of Crystals in the Naica Mine, Mexico. Crystals forming in caves isn't typically all that newsworthy, but when pillars of gypsum grow to be numerous times larger than a human, it turns some heads. The site was discovered around 2000 by a couple of miners who were out in search of lead. Photo: Twitter Number 7.
Pamukkale. Its name translates as 'Cotton Palace' as that's the image the terraced hollows and expansive mineral depots evoke. The water that washes over them is believed to have medicinal properties, making the Turkish location a popular wellness destination. Photo: Getty Number 6.
Zhangye Danxia Landform. Mountains are generally awe-inspiring, but these painterly beauties in China are definitely more so than most. It took about 25 million years of sandstone and minerals being deposited and eroded to achieve the dazzling effect. Photo: Getty Number 5.
Blood Falls. Rest easy – it's not really blood that's pouring from the Antarctic cliff. What causes the water to take on a ruddy appearance stems from it having been isolated from the rest of the world for millions of years. Over time it's become particularly salty and iron-rich, which gives it a reddish hue. Photo: Getty Number 4.

The Eye of the Sahara. In the midst of the desert rests a rock bullseye that measures approximately 30 miles across. It's believed that it started off as a dome pushed up from the Earth's surface. From there it was likely carved out by years of environmental wear and tear. Photo: Getty Number 2.
Marble Caves. It's not an easy place to get to, but the system located in Chile's Patagonian Andes is considered well worth the trip. While the swirled cavern walls are a sight to behold all on their own, it's their reflection on the surrounding blue waters that is often considered to be the most breathtaking.

Goblin Valley State Park. If running through a naturally formed mountain maze amidst 150-foot tall goblins sounds like your idea of a good time, you may want to book a trip to this Utah locale. Years of erosion has resulted in the formation of shapes that many say look just like creatures of lore. Photo: Getty

However, there are people that sweat more than other people around; they sweat when they just take a walk, they sweat when they are relaxed, they sweat when they are on a date (that could be really embarrassing).

Spicy foods can be a reason why you may be sweating excessively. The reason for this is that spicy food can stimulate ones sweat gland in such a way that is not desirable. According to Kelly Redbord of George Washington University "spices can activate neurotransmitters, called acetylcholine, which are located in your brain,". So, if you want to reduce that excessive sweat, stay away from spicy foods.
2. No To Caffeine:

Are you the one that cannot say no to coffee, well excessive sweating can be the reason to stop taking caffeine. Just like in the case of the spicy foods, caffeine can also activate acetylcholine which could in turn bring about excessive sweating.
3. Use Your Antiperspirant In The Evening:

Most people use the antiperspirant usually in the morning after their bath and when they are heading out. However, the antiperspirant is way more effective when you use it in the evening. This is because sweat production is at it lowest in the evening and that helps the antiperspirant get into your pores easily and there by help to block Perspiration in the morning.
4. Use Your Antiperspirant In Other Areas Of Your Body:
It is a wonder how must people, who are trying to sweat less use their antiperspirant spray only on their pits. Well, the human body also have sweat glands in other areas of the body so you may want to use your antiperspirant on them. However, make sure you avoid your face as well as your private parts when you are doing this.
5. Salt and Lime Juice.
The salt and lime juice is also one of the most perfect mixture you can use to stop excessive sweating and it is pretty easy to do as well.
To make a good use of this, mix a tables spoon of salt and lime and then simply massage your hands with the mixture. This will decrease the activity of the sweat gland and as well reduce excessive sweating.
6. Watch Your Diet:
Excessive sweating can also be caused by the kind of food that you eat so another way you can help yourself get rid of the excessive sweating is by changing your diet and it still boils down to eating more vegetables and fruits.
