For an athlete, especially one that is older than the others, training, and nutrition are key. These two aspects of an athlete’s life ensure longevity and a career with lesser injuries. One prime example of such a diet and practice is none other than Tom Brady. Considering that he played till the age of 45, the ex-QB was in excellent shape. Another QB that has showcased longevity in his career has been Aaron Rodgers. At the age of 39, Rodgers remains to be one of the oldest QBs to play.

While with Brady, the world knows his secret: the TB12 Method. However, what is Rodgers’ secret? In an extremely satirical interview, Rodgers was asked about his secret for continuing to play for so long. He was even asked if he was an avid follower of the TB12 method. His answer was quite shocking.

Aaron Rodgers does not believe in the Tb12 Method hype

The TB12 method consists of a lifestyle choice in terms of diet and exercise that has helped Brady maintain his career’s longevity. The key features of the diet include eating a mostly plant-based, organic diet plan. It has a lot of whole foods that are nutrient dense to include anti-inflammatory foods that help with recovery. As a whole, the diet is perfect for someone who wants to maintain their athleticism for a long time. During the interview, Rodgers was questioned if he partook in this diet.

While Rodgers doesn’t follow the TB12 diet, he is no slouch in taking care of his diet. He himself has a strict dietary regimen that he follows to ensure his peak performance on the field.
