Die neuesten Tipps für London gibt es in dieser Folge ebenso wie die bewegende Geschichte eines 21-jährigen Ukrainers, der gerade ganz Japan erobert - als kommender König des Sumo-Ringens. Aonishki musste fliehen vor dem Krieg und ist nun kurz davor, in der traditionellsten Sportart des Mega-Reiselandes Japan den Status als Yokozuna zu erreichen. Obendrauf stellen wir uns die Frage: Welcher Ort von deinen Reisen fühlt sich an wie ein zweites Zuhause? Kommt mit durch Jahrhunderte alte asiatische Traditionen, über Londoner Märkte im East End, in kleine Cafés und schließlich Straßen, in denen man daran erinnert wird, warum man so gerne unterwegs ist auf diesem, trotz aller Probleme, wundervollen Planeten.—Unseren neuen Podcast-Feed “UNTER FREUNDEN” findet ihr überall, wo es Podcasts gibt.

El Colegio de Dietistas y Nutricionistas de la Región de Murcia celebró recientemente las jornadas tituladas "Nutrición, conocimiento que evoluciona", un encuentro diseñado para potenciar y cuestionar los conocimientos actuales, bajo la premisa de que las tendencias alimentarias deben actualizarse constantemente basándose en la evidencia científica. Durante el evento, se debatió el uso de la inteligencia artificial en las consultas, advirtiendo que, aunque es una herramienta innovadora, actualmente carece de la titulación y el trato personalizado indispensables para un tratamiento dietético efectivo y seguro. Además, se abordaron temas críticos como la seguridad alimentaria —ejemplificada en los riesgos de contaminación de productos como la tortilla de patatas mal cuajada—, la crononutrición, la microbiota y el modelo de negocio del Real Fooding, reafirmando que una mayor formación del profesional garantiza una mejor calidad asistencial para el ciudadano.

From playing drums to managing the tournament setup, the yobidashi's work keeps sumo running smoothly. They ensure that tradition, logistics, and even plumbing are in place — all while maintaining hidden hierarchies and skills that go back centuries. It's wild to think that they build the dohyo by hand, chant in melodic calls, and connect past traditions with modern tournaments.This world is full of respect, hierarchy, and centuries of tradition—yet often overlooked. Next time you watch sumo, remember: the yobidashi make it all happen.

Comer bien no consiste en dar al cuerpo lo que desea en cada momento, sino en aportarle lo que necesita para su correcto desarrollo funcional y el mantenimiento de la salud. En la actualidad, la sobreinformación y el impacto de las redes sociales pueden generar confusión en la población al promover modelos alimentarios basados en ultraprocesados o recomendaciones profesionales contradictorias. Para establecer una base nutricional sólida, se recomienda seguir un patrón de cinco comidas al día, priorizar el consumo de cereales integrales, legumbres, frutas y verduras, además de mantener una buena hidratación y realizar ejercicio físico. Asimismo, es fundamental evitar que los productos ultraprocesados, ricos en grasas saturadas, sal y azúcares simples, formen parte de la dieta diaria, reservándolos únicamente para consumos muy ocasionales.

En un entorno digital donde las tendencias de salud se viralizan a la velocidad de un clic, una nueva tendencia ha captado la atención de quienes buscan atajos para la pérdida de peso: el consumo desmedido de fibra como sustituto natural de fármacos adelgazantes. Sin embargo, esta práctica, lejos de ser la solución milagrosa que muchos esperan, encierra riesgos significativos para la salud digestiva. Hablamos con el nutricionista Luis Hidalgo sobre los beneficios de la fibra, que es un nutriente esencial para el organismo, crucial para la saciedad y el buen funcionamiento intestinal, aunque su consumo en cantidades excesivas y de manera obsesiva puede desencadenar efectos adversos.Hidalgo enfatiza la importancia de una ingesta equilibrada, recordando que una dieta mediterránea, rica en legumbres, frutas y verduras, ya proporciona los niveles de fibra necesarios sin la necesidad de recurrir a medidas extremas o suplementos.

Konishiki Yasokichi (Saleva'a Fuauli Atisanoe) is a cultural ambassador and sumo legend from the island of Oʻahu. He became the first non-Japanese-born wrestler to reach Ozeki, the second highest possible rank in the sport. During his career, he won the top division championship on three occasions and came very close to becoming the first foreign-born grand champion, or Yokozuna. At his peak weight of 287 kilograms or 633 pounds, he was also at the time the heaviest wrestler ever in sumo earning him the nicknames “Meat Bomb” and most famously, “The Dump Truck”. After retiring from sumo in 1997, he transitioned to a successful post-sumo career in entertainment, music, and philanthropy.In this special Keep it Aloha on the Road episode sponsored by @HawaiianAirlines  we talk about growing up in Hawai'i, getting scouted for sumo, moving to Japan with nothing, his legendary sumo career, life lessons, career after sumo, his sumo tours, and and so much more.

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

As 2025 comes to a close, Boiler Room assembles a no-nonsense roundtable to sort through the wreckage.Host Bryan “Hesher” McClain is joined by a powerhouse panel — Spore, Adam “Ruckus” Clark, Sumo, Kavi, Jay Dyer, Jamie Hanshaw Dyer, Mystical Pharaoh, Sam Chaney, Odd Man Out, Bazed-Lit Analyzer and Johnny Vedmore — for a forensic year-end post-mortem.This isn't a countdown or highlight reel. It's a cleanup operation.From collapsing media narratives and geopolitical misfires to cultural psy-ops, institutional credibility failures, and stories that quietly vanished, the panel examines what broke in 2025, why it broke, and what the patterns tell us heading into 2026.No victory laps. No corporate spin.Just analysis, accountability, and controlled demolition.Website: https://alternatecurrentradio.comSupport: https://alternatecurrentradio.com/support/Merch: https://alternate-current-radio.creator-spring.com/

As the New Year brings a sake drinking season to us all, Andy and Jim take a moment to think about the people who make it and the system that keeps the brewery pumping.

Japan is often described as having “spirituality without religion”, but what does that actually mean? In this episode, author Hiroko Yoda joins the Krewe to break down how spirituality quietly shapes everyday life in Japan, from nature and kami to shrines, folklore, and even anime. With personal stories and insights from her new book, Eight Million Ways to Happiness, this conversation offers a fresh look at happiness rooted in connection, not belief.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.
