So how does a 36-year-old act, look and play like a 26-year-old? What’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s secret of eternal youth?
Good diet is the key. The best cars need the right fuel and for Ronaldo that means six high-protein, high-grain, low-fat mini-meals a day, all recommended by a personal dietician who has been with him since his Real Madrid days.
‘Eat regularly,’ says the Portuguese ace. ‘It’s important to keep energy levels high.’

He favours cheese, ham and low-fat yoghurt for breakfast and particularly likes fish, plenty of fruit and veg, and it’s always fresh.
He doesn’t drink alcohol, only water, and definitely no sugary drinks or snacks.
Eight hours sleep a day? That’s so last year — he prefers five 90-minute naps, always on fresh sheets, to keep him fresh.
And when Ronaldo is not kipping he’s either training or working out on his own.
At home he has a £50,000 cryotherapy chamber — three minutes in there at -160°C gets the blood pumping — and he swears by Pilates, regular swims and five trips to the gym a week.
