Vardy, 37, is showing no signs of slowing down, and British tabloid The Sun has revealed the secret behind his longevity. Apparently, Vardy enjoys three cans of Red Bull and a double espresso before each game.
In the first round of the Premier League, newly promoted Leicester City drew 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur, with the 37-year-old Vardy scoring the equalizer for the Foxes. In the highly competitive and fast-paced Premier League, it’s uncommon to see a 37-year-old player performing at such a high level. How does Vardy manage to maintain his form at such an advanced age? Years ago, he revealed his “magic potion” in an interview, saying that before games he eats Skittles and drinks some vodka and port. As he’s gotten older, he’s switched to three cans of Red Bull, a double espresso, a slice of cheese, and a plate of ham and eggs.
During training, he follows his own pace and skips certain exercises. Instead, he uses a cryotherapy chamber and oxygen tent at his £2.5 million apartment to help with recovery.
In Vardy’s own words, he consumes the three cans of Red Bull like this: one can 30 seconds after waking up, another while washing dishes, and the last one 90 minutes before the game. Vardy doesn’t eat breakfast. Instead, he has a plate of ham and eggs with baked beans at 11:30 and a double espresso to pass the time.
