They usually live into their mid 60s, although many lose weight when they retire from active participation in the sport and go on to live to very great age. Despite their girth they are usually in good health because of the exercise they do as their training is good for the cardiovascular system. Also they do eat large quantities of food but the food they have is mostly rice, millet, vegetables and fish - a very healthy diet.
A sumo is bound by strict rules and can not do many harmful things like take drugs or even drive!
They do often suffer liver problems as they are encouraged to drink heavily to add weight and provide their bodies with energy from alcohol.
So with a life expectancy of around 65 sumos do die younger than Japanese men on average who live to 75, but they still live a great deal longer than most people of such size.

How Old Is Sumo Wrestling

If you're not happy about yourself then why don't you change something? If you feel fat and unhealthy then start exercising and eating right. And not all girls are looking for tall, dark, handsome, and rich. Everyones's physically attracted to different types. You're way too young to be depressed and feel like you're going to be alone for the rest of your life. Go outside and mingle with some new people and find places where they appreciate a heavier set fellow, I believe they even have websites for that now! You don't know that all girls think you're revolting, and the ones that do are obviously the shallow ones since they are judging by appearance. So, go and change your lifestyle for the better, so you can be happy about yourself, raise your self esteem, and find a girl.

Some do, as they eat rubbish to gain weight fast in order to be the heaviest, but most eat a lot of carbs to gain weight and strenght, so the health problems will be the same as anyone who sticks to this diet. Remember though not all sumo is 30 stone plus, it just means the smaller guys wont win the open competitions.

A few of them die at a young age because of a heart attack or overweight.
