*Unit 5: Food and Health | Reading: Sumo wrestlers
Sumo style
Japanese sumo wrestlers have a very different lifestyle to most people. Many sumo wrestlers are enormous – some of them weigh around 190 kilos! They also have to get up very early and train a lot. They always eat a special dish – it’s called chankonabe. They often eat six or seven bowls of it in one meal! It’s quite healthy because there are a lot of vitamins in it and there isn’t much fat. They don’t only eat chankonabe – they have different things such as eggs, salads and desserts too.
