Robert Lewandowski Credits Strict Diet and Wife Anna for Longevity at 37

Robert Lewandowski revealed he stopped eating chocolate and removed gluten and lactose from his diet to maintain peak fitness at 37. The FC Barcelona striker, who has scored nearly 400 league goals in Europe’s top five leagues, also praised his wife Anna Lewandowska for guiding his nutrition and mindset, helping him remain a top performer.

As the veteran striker of FC Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski has revealed the strict lifestyle choices that have helped him remain one of football’s most dangerous forwards at the age of 37. The Polish star, who has scored close to 400 league goals across Europe’s top 5 divisions, explained that improving his diet and mentality played a huge role in extending his career at the highest level.

Lewandowski said he began focusing seriously on nutrition in his early 20s after noticing that his usual breakfast of cornflakes and milk left him feeling tired during training. He eventually removed gluten and lactose from his diet and even gave up eating chocolate. Within a few weeks of making these changes, he noticed a big improvement in his strength and energy levels. The Barcelona forward also highlighted the important role played by his wife, Anna Lewandowska, a former karate medalist and nutrition expert.

According to Lewandowski, she has supported him not only with diet plans but also with mental preparation, acting as the first person he speaks to after every match. Despite careful workload management by coach Hansi Flick, Lewandowski continues to perform impressively, scoring a goal every 96 minutes in La Liga this season. However, his future remains uncertain, with interest reported from Chicago Fire FC as he considers his next career move.
