Medical advice for reggae stars

"Girl, I'm gonna make you sweat. Sweat 'til you can't sweat no more..." sang Ian Lewis of reggae outfit Inner Circle, displaying a nonchalant attitude to the health of his partner and a dangerous ignorance of the body's basic biological processes.

The inability to sweat is symptomatic of severe dehydration and inhibits the body's ability to cool itself. To reach this point is already indicative of perilously low fluid levels.

Mr Lewis would be well advised to promote the regular intake of water during such bouts of heightened activity, for the well-being of his ladyfriends as well as himself.
