In February this year, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo surprised fans around the world when he posted a photo with his “oldest brother” Ronaldo Jr. on Instagram. The most notable thing is that the 39-year-old player used black toenail polish.

Witnessing the above details, fans couldn’t help but be surprised and had the same question “Why did he paint his toenails black?” and “Is no one going to say anything about painting his toenails black?” . Finally, an explanation for Ronaldo’s act of painting his toenails was also revealed.

Specifically, according to BILD, the Portuguese superstar used toenail polish to prevent fungus and bacteria. Toenail polish creates a protective layer and hardens the nails, preventing them from cracking. As a professional player, the former Real Madrid star often has to wear shoes and sweat.

Painting toenails is quite common in professional sports competitions, especially among track and field, boxing and MMA athletes. Heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson also painted his toenails during the peak of his career. Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya also applies this method.

As for Ronaldo, this “living legend” is famous for being highly disciplined in training and using food to have the best playing condition. Accordingly, Ronaldo performs 5 training sessions per week, lasting three to four hours each day. After that, the Al-Nassr star continued to immerse himself in exercises on the football field to improve his skills.

Next, CR7’s nutritional regimen is also admirable. The owner of 5 Golden Balls only chooses foods rich in protein and vitamins and says no to foods high in sugar and fat. Even Patrick Evra, Ronaldo’s teammate in the Man Utd shirt, even “sweated” about the above mentioned diet when sharing: “He is really a machine!! But don’t come to his house.” eat lunch, because it’ll be like you’ve got another workout in!”

At the present time, even though he is 39 years old, Ronaldo is still maintaining an admirable physique and is ready to journey to conquer top titles.
