Recently, the Daily Mail has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo’s secret to playing football at the highest level at the age of 34.
The story of Ronaldo dividing 3 main meals a day into 6 small meals, eating only fresh foods, not fatty, no sweets, practicing non-stop every day, everyone probably knows and is learning. But the biggest, super unique secret among football players that Ronaldo is using lies in the way he divides his sleep into many times.
Exercise is just part of a series of secrets that help Ronaldo possess strong muscles.
Ronaldo practiced jogging underwater while other players were on Christmas break.
Specifically, Ronaldo pursued the hypothesis of professor Nick Littlehales, author of the book “The Power of Naps”. Instead of sleeping for 8 consecutive hours a day, the human mind and body will be more refreshed if divided into 5 times of sleep, each lasting about 90 minutes. Ronaldo follows Mr. Littlehales’s instructions 365 days a year, even when he is on vacation.
This secret sounds easy, but following it is a problem, which is why very few people have the body of a twenty-something guy at Ronaldo’s age.
Eating and exercising are only part of it. For super players like Ronaldo, scientific rest is also very important.
Ronaldo is currently aiming for new heights with Juventus. In this season alone in Serie A, the Portuguese striker has scored 13 goals, after 15 matches. This is the clearest proof that he went to Italy to compete, not to relax and “land safely” as many people think.
Currently, Ronaldo and Juventus are leading Serie A, but perhaps their biggest goal is to win the Champions League at the end of the season.
