How do you draw the line between what weight loss practices are acceptable for jockeys career needs and what is just too unhealthy?
There are supposedly a lot of unhealthy practices that jockeys use to keep their weight down. We understand this is their lifestyle and what goes on in their day-to-day work. Studies have shown that they are chronically dehydrated but able to function cognitively well in their job. Our role is to educate them in proper hydration and dietary advice and make sure that they’re well looked after to prevent negative consequences of chronic dehydration and poor diet.
