Sumo wrestlers eat up to 7,000 calories a day, and their
body weight can easily reach 300 to 400 pounds. Many people
think they are not healthy because of their weight. In fact, they
are not like other fat people; they are fat in a healthier way.
Sumo wrestlers have to do a lot of exercise and training every
day. The training is longer than most people would do it often
lasts up to five hours. Their diet is different from other fat
people's, too. Most fat people get heavier because they eat too
much bad food. As for sumo wrestlers, they eat healthy food
and lots of vegetables, and they only have two meals a day.
Studies also show that they store fat differently from other
fat people. Usually, it is easy to find fat around a fat person's
heart, and that often creates health problems. But for sumo
wrestlers, their fat is mostly under the skin, and that seldom
causes health problems. However, when sumo wrestlers stop
their career, they need to cut down on calories. Without that
much exercise and training. 7,000 calories would be too much
for them.
