Sumo wrestling as a sport requires athletes to be large and heavy. The larger and heavier you are, the more of an advantage you have (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlasobscura.com\/articles\/sumo-wrestlers-stew-diet-chanko-nabe\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). With that said, what is sumo wrestling? What do sumo wrestlers eat? Are sumo wrestlers healthy? These and many more questions about this unorthodox sport will be answered in this amazing read.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Sumo_Wrestling\"><\/span><b>What Is Sumo Wrestling?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we can go into what their diet is composed of, it is important to know what the sport is all about. Sumo wrestling originated as part of Shinto religious ceremonies to welcome a new year. Sumo wrestling is a type of\u00a0 sport where one\u2019s objective is to force their opponent to the floor with all the other parts of their body apart from their feet. So if any other part of your body touches the floor you lose. You also win if you are able to make your opponent step out of the ring (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodrepublic.com\/2016\/12\/08\/introducing-the-soup-that-sumo-wrestlers-eat-daily\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Unlike other types of wrestling across the world, closed fists are not allowed in sumo wrestling. Pulling of hair is also not allowed (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/photography\/sumo-wrestling-photos-japan-shinto-ceremony-religion-pictures-a8557191.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like the normal wrestling you know, every match is officiated by a referee. The referees are usually referred to as \u2018gyoji\u2019. In addition to the referees, there are also judges who are usually ringside. These judges are referred to as the five shimpan. The work of these judges is usually to review and confirm the decisions made by the gyoji (referee) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/photography\/sumo-wrestling-photos-japan-shinto-ceremony-religion-pictures-a8557191.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sumo wrestlers are usually referred to as rikishi. Being a rikishi is not easy at all and it requires hard work, determination and discipline. The sport itself is not easy hence you don\u2019t expect being a rikishi to be easy.\u00a0 When a sumo wrestler is beginning their wrestling career, they usually join a stable. A stable is a place where the rikishi live, eat, workout, drink and do everything throughout their sumo wrestling career (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/photography\/sumo-wrestling-photos-japan-shinto-ceremony-religion-pictures-a8557191.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Sumo_Wrestler_Diet\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38140 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4-15-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"sumo wrestler diet\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4-15.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4-15-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4-15.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4-15-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/4-15.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hierarchy_Of_Rank\"><\/span><strong>Hierarchy Of Rank<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the stables, rank is very important. For this reason, hierarchy of rank is highly respected. Sumo wrestlers of lower rank are responsible for doing most of the chores in the stables. This includes chores like cooking, being sent to the market, preparing the ingredients of the food, cleaning the stable and all other chores involved that have not been mentioned. In addition to this, low rank sumo wrestlers only eat after high rank sumo wrestlers have eaten (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/photography\/sumo-wrestling-photos-japan-shinto-ceremony-religion-pictures-a8557191.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sumo wrestling is a very unique sport. Rikishi\u2019s are always supposed to be wearing traditional Japanese attire. They are also supposed to have the traditional topknot hairstyle. Another thing that distinguishes rikishi\u2019s from other athletes is how big they usually are (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/photography\/sumo-wrestling-photos-japan-shinto-ceremony-religion-pictures-a8557191.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sumo wrestling is deeply rooted in Japanese culture. This is not to say that only the Japanese can practice this sport. Many foreigners have been able to take up the sport over the years and even go ahead to dominate the sport. Foreigners must follow the same guidelines that the locals follow. This is to say they must join a stable just as the locals do (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/photography\/sumo-wrestling-photos-japan-shinto-ceremony-religion-pictures-a8557191.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a rikishi comes to the end of his career, a ceremony is usually held to celebrate them. During this ceremony, the sumo wrestler\u2019s topknot is usually cut. This is done to show the end of their career (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/photography\/sumo-wrestling-photos-japan-shinto-ceremony-religion-pictures-a8557191.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Unlike other sports, sumo wrestlers do not depend on supplements to get as large as they do. They achieve their size and strength through\u00a0 vigorous training and a healthy balanced diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_Sumo_Wrestlers_Eat\"><\/span><strong>What Do Sumo Wrestlers Eat?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The staple food for sumo wrestlers is chankonabe. This is the main food consumed by the rikishi. Chankonabe provides the wrestlers with the necessary minerals, vitamins, proteins and all other nutrients as well as helping them gain weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no set way of making chankonabe (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturetrip.com\/asia\/japan\/articles\/what-do-sumo-wrestlers-eat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Different stables and different cooks make their chankonabe differently. Chankonabe is basically a soup that is served while very hot. Although there is no set way of making this broth, the ingredients mostly used are the same across the board.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make chankonabe you need proteins. Some of the commonly used proteins are fish, beef, chicken, pork and even tofu. Another thing you need is vegetables.

To be over 300 pounds it means you have a very high calorie intake. Many different people have different answers to this question. According to some of the retired sumo wrestlers, they consume somewhere between 7000 to 10,000 calories in a day (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/479972-the-sumo-wrestlers-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Yes, those are the calories you should consume if you want to have as much weight as sumo wrestlers do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sumo wrestlers get most of their weight from eating chankonabe. Although this soup is rich in calories, the amount the sumo wrestlers take at a given time also works to help them get to their weight gain goals. A rikishi might eat up to ten bowls of this broth together with rice or noodles (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gurunavi.com\/en\/japanfoodie\/2016\/09\/sumo-diet-and-lifestyle.html?__ngt__=TT1100f475b003ac1e4aed6aN0DRx6gBgqdrUNwXOXIAV8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/different-types-of-diets\/\">Different Types Of Diets: The Lowdown On The Most Talked-About Weight Loss Strategies<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Eating_Habits_Of_Sumo_Wrestlers\"><\/span><b>What Are The Eating Habits Of Sumo Wrestlers?\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people think that sumo wrestlers just sit down and eat all day. That is actually not true at all. The rikishi wake up as early as 5 in the morning (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gq.com\/story\/sumo-diet-of-byamba-ulambayar\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

Instead, they head straight into doing chores and training. Their training sessions are usually gruesome and tiring. They train for a minimum of 5 hours. The reason they don\u2019t eat breakfast in the morning is due to the gruesome training they undertake. If they were to eat breakfast while doing such extreme exercises, it would result in them getting sick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The benefit of doing such exercises, apart from getting them ready for their matches of course, is that it helps them build up their appetite. They eat their first meal at around noon. This is how they are able to eat up to ten bowls of chankonabe. After eating these many calories, the sumo wrestlers usually take a much needed nap. The nap takes an average of 4 hours. When they wake up, they eat their second and last meal of the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other components of a sumo wrestler\u2019s diet are:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Sumo_Wrestler_Diet\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38145 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5-14-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"sumo wrestler diet\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5-14.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5-14-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5-14.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5-14-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5-14.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hydration_Is_Important\"><\/span><b>Hydration Is Important<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This goes without saying.

They eat chicken because chickens only walk with two feet on the ground, and that&#8217;s how sumo wrestlers win \u2014 by keeping two feet planted squarely on the ground.

This does not sound like a healthy lifestyle right? Most people with obesity store the extra fat they have deep inside their abdomen. This extra fat wraps around their pancreas, liver, and other vital organs of the body. This fat is usually referred to as visceral fat. The visceral fat is more metabolically active than other types of fat and can increase inflammation and insulin resistance.. It is for this reason, abdominal obesity is associated with health conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and other cardiovascular conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This might be surprising but sumo wrestlers don&#8217;t suffer from these symptoms. Sumo wrestlers don&#8217;t\u00a0 have visceral fat. If they do have it, it is in very small quantities. The rikishi store their fat just underneath the skin (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@SylviaTaraPhD\/by-any-standard-the-sumo-wrestler-would-be-considered-obese-596defe012a9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This makes them have normal levels of triglycerides and low levels of cholesterol. These low levels help them lower the risk of getting cardiovascular diseases (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@SylviaTaraPhD\/by-any-standard-the-sumo-wrestler-would-be-considered-obese-596defe012a9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How are they able to achieve this? They are able to achieve this through the gruesome workout sessions they undertake. These workout sessions prevent the buildup of visceral fat. Exercise increases a hormone called adiponectin (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@SylviaTaraPhD\/by-any-standard-the-sumo-wrestler-would-be-considered-obese-596defe012a9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This hormone is responsible for guiding glucose and fat molecules out of the blood stream and instead stores them as fat underneath the skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that these advantages go away when the wrestler retires (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@SylviaTaraPhD\/by-any-standard-the-sumo-wrestler-would-be-considered-obese-596defe012a9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). When they retire, they have to seriously lose a lot of weight or the same cardiovascular conditions that affect other obese people will also affect them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sumo wrestler diet is quite straightforward. As long as you know how to make chankonabe you should be okay. Sumo wrestlers usually eat in groups. This is because community eating makes them eat more than they would eat if they were eating alone. Sumo wrestlers are some of the most healthy athletes even though they don\u2019t look like it. This is because they don\u2019t eat processed food, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/take-up-this-7-day-no-junk-food-challenge\/\">junk food<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/no-sugar-diet\/\">sweetened foods<\/a> and so on. Their hard and tiring workout sessions also play a role in ensuring they are healthy. Once they retire, sumo wrestlers are usually advised to cut their pounds so that they can reduce their chances of getting cardiovascular conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Sumo_Wrestler_Diet\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DISCLAIMER\"><\/span><b>DISCLAIMER:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article is intended for general informational purposes only and does not address individual circumstances.
