A video of former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja recently went viral on social media in which he claimed that NASA cured Portuguese star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo on his diet plan.
“Let’s take the example of Ronaldo’s diet plan developed by NASA scientists,” Ramiz Raja told a local news channel.
The video attracted huge attention on social media sites, with netizens mocking the former captain.
However, NASA did help Ronaldo maintain his strength at the age of 38.
The famous Portuguese star maintains his extraordinary strength with the help of a recovery machine designed by NASA. The Vascusport regeneration system installed in his home helps him stay in tip-top shape.
This technology helps improve lymphatic flow, turning on drainage and increasing endorphin levels in the brain while bringing more oxygen to the tissues. It also helps improve circulation and speeds up the healing process, allowing Ronaldo to recover from injuries faster.
While NASA machines aided in his recovery, Ronaldo’s strict diet also contributed to his optimal health. Beef, avocado, coconut oil, chicken, eggs and black rice are important parts of his carefully planned diet. He also underwent thalassotherapy, using sea extracts to relax his muscles. Ronaldo uses cryotherapy to eliminate abnormal skin cells, which is particularly beneficial for recovery from injuries.
Now we know how Ronaldo received help from NASA and may have provided Ramiz Raja with incomplete information about the star footballer.
Ronaldo is still scoring goals, having scored 46 goals and 12 assists this year. He is the third-highest goal scorer this year, behind Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (48) and Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane (47).
Ronaldo started as Portugal beat Liechtenstein and Iceland in their Euro 2024 qualifiers last week.
He scored against Liechtenstein and assisted on Ricardo Horta’s goal against Iceland, helping Portugal win both games 2-0.
Portugal has qualified for next year’s World Cup in Germany but needs to win both games to maintain a 100% record in qualifying.
