Marcos Llorente's daily routines: the Paleolithic diet, eating dinner at 5:30 p.m. in winter, wearing yellow sunglasses indoors...

"All these things I do are for my health, not for football, but in the end, one thing goes hand in hand with the other," Atlético de Madrid player Marcos Llorente began by explaining, before revealing the striking daily routines he follows to try to stay well.

The Spanish international, who has been seen numerous times wearing yellow-tinted glasses indoors and has been questioned several times about his lifestyle, has detailed what he does to take care of his health in a video for the Spanish national team.

Paleolithic diet

First of all, Llorente prioritizes the consumption of foods that are real, avoiding ultra-processed foods, bread, cereals, and some dairy products. This is the so-called Paleolithic diet, based on eating the natural foods our ancestors ate.

"I don't eat dairy products or pasta. For carbohydrates, I only eat potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava. I eat meat, fish, and lots of vegetables," the Atletico footballer stated in an interview with Cadena SER.

The Spanish footballer also drinks his coffee with butter: "I drink my coffee with 2-3 tablespoons of butter."

Light exposure and yellow glasses indoors

Marcos Llorente tries to take advantage of natural light and avoid artificial light as much as possible. "I get up at 8 and go outside, wait for dawn, and spend some time there. Then I go up to my room and make my coffee," the footballer explains. He exposes himself to sunlight without protection or sunglasses, which he does wear indoors.

"Yellow sunglasses are for when you're indoors during the day. That is, you should never wear any kind of sunglasses outside. The sun's rays should hit your eyes and skin, without anything in between," he points out.

"Red-tinted glasses filter out all the blue light from lamps, televisions, or cell phones, allowing only the red light to pass through. When I go to hotels or travel, if the sun has set, I wear red-tinted glasses," he continues, referring to the other lenses he uses.

Llorente also reveals that the light he uses in his home is red. "It's the only light I use at home. During the day, I don't turn on the light, either because I'm in the garden or if I go into the kitchen or to the living room for something. The light comes in through the windows, and I don't need to turn on any other light. When the sun goes down, this is the light I have throughout the house. What this lamp does is bring that red and infrared light into the room where you have the lamp on, making it more similar to the light outside your house," he says.

He has dinner when it is daytime and he is exposed to the cold.

The Atlético de Madrid midfielder also stated on COPE that he only eats during the day: "I have breakfast, lunch, and dinner whenever there's natural light. In the winter, I have dinner at 5:30 p.m., in the summer a little later, before nightfall."

Llorente also exposes himself to light regardless of the temperature. In this sense, as he himself has revealed and as seen in his social media posts, he goes out every morning to walk his dogs shirtless, whether it's summer or winter.
