It is not unreasonable to imagine that some of Marcos Llorente’s 2.3 million Instagram followers are mainly in health advice.
Lean, chiseled and a dedicated disciple of the celebrity of the school “ if you have it, of the celebrity and the athletics of Atletico, the strength and athletics of the Atletico man even stand out in a side synonymous with industry and dynamism. Who wouldn’t want to look like the 30 -year -old Spanish international?
Place a story, however, however, for self -discipline and coherence that keep Llorente in perfect condition – not to mention certain habits that seem to cross the line of the simple burden with the bizarre – are not for everyone.
An example is the penchant of Llorente to dive a spoonful of butter in its coffee, an addition which increases supposedly energy and concentration while keeping hunger remotely.
Known as the “ coffee test of bullets ” and tabled by the American entrepreneur and Biohacker Dave Asprey, who was inspired by Yak butter tea, of the drink of choice in Tibet and several other areas of the Himalayas, the drink was recognized to accelerate the ability of the body to burn fat.
However, the evidence is trembling, with a review of scientific research compiled between 2010 and 2023 identifying “potential health problems linked to butter” – in particular a “possible elevation of serum cholesterol” and “gastrointestinal intolerance”.

Given the impeccable athletic pedigree of Llorente – his father, Francisco, played for Atletico and Real Madrid, while his late grandfather was Paco Gento, Bernabeu’s legend widely considered one of the greatest Spanish players in history – he is unlikely to lose too much sleep on these problems. However, it is not noted either for buying scientific orthodoxy.
Last summer, Llorente published a shirtless photo from holidays in Hawaii. Besides that, he described his plans for the day, including a four -hour sunbathing session without sunscreen or nuances.
When his disciples highlighted the potential health risks, he came out while fighting.
“If you think that skin cancer is caused by the sun, you are the king of ignorant,” said Llorente.
Although this is a characteristic pugnacious response of a player who shamelessly declared, making the controversial passage of his childhood club, Real Madrid at Atlético in 2019: “ I leave without any guilt ”, the The repercussions have repercussions to the upper deception of the government.
“Marcos Llorente, football player and denial of melanoma,” said Spanish health secretary Javier Padilla on social networks. “What a time to be alive.
If this episode left Llorente by feeling the heat, health claims that it has made in a video published shortly before Christmas met a more frozen reception.

Llorente observes a strict diet and slept in a bed of £ 31,000 which, according to its manufacturers, “ naturally reduces biological age ” ‘
The legend that accompanies him reads as follows: “Light uncomfortable every day”.
“Many do not know it, but science has shown that cold, among other multiple advantages, increases melatonin,” said Llorente in a voiceover.
“I’m not going to catch a cold – on the contrary, it’s impossible for me. Everything requires an adaptation and I have already experienced this. The same thing happens with sun exposure and fasting.
Llorente again took his remarks, the Spanish sports journalist Paco González suggesting that he was irresponsible for the player to offer his scientific advice as social media disciples, as well intentioned.
“Because he has such a perfect body, he exercises power on the networks that can make people want to imitate him,” said González. “You must be careful with the messages you transmit.
Llorente, which also sleeps in a bed of £ 31,000 which “reduces the biological age”, is hardly unique among the best athletes to put its faith in alternative health approaches.

Tom Brady, considered by many to be the largest quarter of NFL history, has attributed his success to “Muscle Plemability”, a nebula theory developed by Alex Guerrero, an Argentinian alternative doctor, who was largely questioned by sport scientists.

And while the American swimmer Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian in history, popularized the practice of cup, which uses suction cups to stimulate blood circulation and promote recovery, efforts to identify a scientific base for treatment has proven to be non -conclusive.
Llorente approached skepticism about his health habits, rejecting the accusation of Padilla according to which he is a denial of melanoma – “ I am neither irresponsible nor disrespectful towards those who suffered it ”, he said – and stressing the importance of informed decision -making.
“Let everyone read, listen, report, surround professionals, then decide what they believe and what is best for their health,” he wrote in a long social media post on the fallout from Sungate.
It should be noted that the Spaniard has put his money where his mouth is.
He launched his own brand of coffee, irreverent coffee, with the former midfielder of Atlético Ibai Gómez – Stracline “I am not normal”; Optional butter – and also co -founded Aureo Lifestyle, a company specializing in photobiomodulation, a form of light therapy which is supposed to promote healing.
However, all the technologies, the charlatan and the good genes would count for little, without healthy nutrition – and Llorente is on a firmer land.

Although the Paleo diet followed by Spanish is not without its criticism – experts highlight a risk of nutritional deficiencies – the emphasis on meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits and nuts, all the foods that our old ancestors used to be appreciated in the past are more closely online with traditional reflection than many ideas of Llorente.
“It would be to eat what was eaten in the Paleolithic (time),” he said on the Spanish radio program El Larguero last year. “You should eliminate all ultra -transformed foods – don’t even look at them – and also cereals.
“Everything about pasta, bread, wheat, rice … and also dairy products. Only high quality cheeses.
“I eat everything. Meat, like the steak that I like. Fish, eggs, vegetables. And carbohydrates such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and cassava.
“With the Paleolithic diet, I will go 100%. It is a lifestyle and a way of life. With that, I will live, and with that I will die. It’s like that.
“I do it for health, not because of football. I am clear that when I end my career, I will continue to take care of myself as much or more than now.
The future promises to be interesting.
