Erling Haaland, a top player for Manchester City, seems to be switching sides as he tests out a £15,000 red-light therapy bed. The goal machine posted a picture of his newest interest on Instagram yesterday. He already wears blue light glasses to mitigate the affects of phone and tablet screens.

The £15,000 red-light therapy bed

“Red light bed,” the 24-year-old Norwegian captioned the photo. Cheers to Monday! Infrared radiation is used in the therapy to deeply enter joints and tissues.

Experts advise doing a five-minute warm-up prior to an exercise session in order to help prevent injuries, and another one for up to 20 minutes following to help with muscle recovery. Haaland has previously disclosed that he follows a “caveman” diet that includes cow liver and heart and consumes 6,000 calories a day.

The football player has admitted to drinking only water that has been through a convoluted filter system and frequently mixes milk with spinach, referring to it as his “magic potion.”

He enjoys taking ice baths and even has a £50,000 cryotherapy room in his property in Cheshire. Numerous other football players have followed strange health fads in an attempt to perform better on the pitch. The 29-year-old Marcos Llorente of Atletico Madrid is a fervent follower of the Palaeolithic diet, which eschews staples like pasta, bread, rice, and highly processed foods in favour of foods like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava.The 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo despises alcohol and sugar-filled beverages and eats six meals a day.
