Cristiano Ronaldo turned 39 today and continues to be a reference in the world of soccer, as a figurehead, an example to follow and especially for the level of play he maintains at an age where most players would already be retired or relegated to the bench; father time has not yet knocked on the door of the Portuguese star.

The 39 year old in the middle of a time of rest to face what will be the last part of the Saudi league with his club Al Nasser where he will seek to continue his good performance on the field, but first he must recover from an injury he currently has in the left calf of his leg, which has kept him away from the team's tour of Asia. Ronaldo continues to be more relevant than ever in the international soccer concert, especially for the fact that he was the top scorer of the year 2023 with a total of 54 goals to his credit. Cristiano is recognized for being one of the professional players not only in the world of football, but in sports in general, of taking care of his body, a truly enviable physique at almost 40 years of age and after more than 20 years as an active player, he is a reference for maintaining a great physical level on and off the field.

The so-called 'CR7' has always been focused and disciplined with his diet, to the point of even having a personal chef in charge of this area. Giorgio Barone is the man in charge of the former Juventus, Real Madrid and Manchester United player's kitchen, and some time ago he had words about the Portuguese player's diet: "There are no expensive foods. I use organic and natural foods: fish, chicken, beef, eggs, avocado, coconut oil and black rice," said the specialist in an interview with the British newspaper The Mirror.

CR7's body is like a Ferrari

Barone, who was in charge of cooking for him while the Portuguese played during Cristiano's time at Juventus in Italy's Serie A, said: "You have to take care of your body as if you were taking care of a Ferrari". To achieve the physical state he is in, Ronaldo tries as hard as he can to ingest as little sugars, fats and carbohydrates as possible.
