Why saliva is so dense while you doing cardio/working out?
In: Biology
When you’re doing cardio or working out, your body is focused on getting oxygen to your muscles and keeping you cool. It reduces some less important functions, like producing saliva. This can make the saliva thicker or feel denser because there’s less water content in it.
Also, breathing more through your mouth during exercise can cause your mouth to dry out, making the saliva seem stickier.
Dehydration. Saliva becomes more concentrated because there is less water in it than normal.
