An expert reveals the secret behind Ronaldo's fitness at 41 years old.

Despite reaching 41 years of age, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo maintains an impressive level of fitness, raising questions about the secret that allows him to compete at the highest levels for so many years.

Ondina stated: "The secret of Cristiano Ronaldo's diet lies in an element that 90 percent of ordinary people or even professional athletes lack, which is consistency," as reported by Spanish newspaper "AS."

He added: "Anyone can have the ingredients available in their home; in fact, I find his diet quite boring."

After nearly 25 years of success, the Portuguese star still relies on what he knows gives him the desired performance, rather than seeking quick fixes or trendy recipes.

The nutrition expert noted: "We often look for magic solutions and things we hear about on social media, while ignoring the foundation of consistency."

Ronaldo does not rely on exotic ingredients imported from faraway places, as Ondina points out that his kitchen is largely based on natural foods.

He explained: "The problem is that there are young people at the age of 18 who buy Himalayan salt or read on social media that fasting for 15 days will lead them to score a goal in the top corner, which is not true."

Ondina believes that the biggest challenge for someone with this level of discipline is maintaining a balanced relationship with food, so that dietary commitment does not turn into an unhealthy relationship.

The source concluded: "What we should try to emulate is that 95 percent of his day is spent eating healthy food, while he dedicates 5 percent to various treats."

During the summer, Ronaldo became the fourth oldest player to participate in the World Cup and the second oldest player to score in the tournament, behind Cameroon's Roger Milla, who scored at the age of 42 years and 39 days.

According to sports nutrition expert Joni Ondina, the secret to Ronaldo's diet does not lie in rare ingredients or extraordinary and exotic recipes, but in "simplicity and consistency."
