Ronaldo has kept himself in top condition throughout his career – meaning he can still boast about his incredible physique and fitness in his mid-30s.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner will reportedly eat six meals a day and especially prefer fish as a staple of his diet, with swordfish, tuna and braised cod as favorites.
He also considers it ‘magical’ due to the high protein and low fat content in chicken and often eats ham and cheese and low-fat yogurt for breakfast.
However, the man who wants to play in his 40s admitted to having pizza with his son.
Ronaldo also makes sure that he gets eight hours of sleep each night and can sometimes take up to five naps a day.
Regarding the importance of sleep, Ronaldo has said: “Proper sleep is really important to get the most out of training.
“I go to sleep early and wake up early, especially before matches. Sleep helps muscles recover which is really important.”
The superstar has also said that maintaining good mental health is as important as maintaining your physical health to perform at your best on the pitch.
