What if we told you the last time Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady missed a game due to sickness or injury was over 12 years ago. You’d probably give us some serious side-eye right? After all, he’s a professional athlete… it’s literally his job to push his body to its limits.

“Stay Strong ???????? NO FEAR” he captioned it, adding “Keep It Simple!”

- Eat Your Vegetables
- Consume Vitamin D
- Consume Essential Fatty Acids
- Skip Added Sugar
- Move for 30-60 Minutes Each Day
- Get Extra Vitamin C
- Get Zinc
- Eat Lots of Protein
- SLEEP!
- Get Probiotics into Your Diet
Worth noting: he also avoids white sugar, white flour, MSG and dairy. Oh, and caffeine, fungus and some veggies too.
“[Tom] doesn’t eat nightshades, because they’re not anti-inflammatory. So no tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms or eggplants,” Brady’s personal chef Allen Campbell told Boston.com. “Tomatoes trickle in every now and then, but just maybe once a month.”
“[I buy] the freshest vegetables. If it’s not organic, I don’t use it.”
Now THAT’S dedication to the cause.
