Sergio Ramos is one of the best defenders of the world, and one of the best ever. He is making the headlines because his contract at Real Madrid is expiring, and he will not extend it so he can join Paris Saint-Germain for free. But his quality is surprising for a 34 year old (soon to be 35) player.

And of course, he has a secret for being like that at his age. There is a magic formula. And it has to do with what he does in his everyday routine. More specifically, it comes to his diet. He follows strict guidelines so he is always fit. That way, he is not just more capable of doing things in the pitch, but avoids injuries too.

And the secret is simpler than people thought: Vitamin D. After training, Ramos eats foods that include this vitamin, like salmon and some salads, and he told this to his followers on Instagram. This micronutrient makes bones and muscles stronger, and like carbohydrates, are essential for the nutrition of a top athlete.

This way, the Real Madrid defender is always fit, strong and fast at 34. He is really dedicated to his career and wants it to last as most as possible. So these little decisions about his routine make all the difference. His healthy habits made him the top defender of all times he is.
