I noticed something very similar. There is probably a part of psychological in
it. However, IMO, sweat is a sign of detoxication. It is also the sign you have
reached a level at which your brain starts to produce endorphine and probably
other brain hormones that improve one's mood.

Being on a raw food diet usually increases one's energy and one is able to do
more exercise and reach more easily the endorphine level.
