There came many quarterbacks, season after season, but none could ever come close to Tom Brady. He is the pinnacle of athletic excellence, breaking records in every way imaginable. He has stayed consistent in his field longer than any other player. 45-year-old Brady is still fit and continues to defy the boundaries of age. But how does he manage to stay fit even in his mid-40s?

The retired quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers followed specific diets and exercises his whole life to maintain his peak athletic form. Out of all the tailor diets he follows, his unusual fluid intake is the most surprising of them all.

Brady had to follow a strict daily schedule to ensure he could perform exceptionally well on the court. After a 9-hour sleep schedule, Brady consumes only healthy foods that contain protein and carbs. For a high-performing athlete like Brady, he needs to maintain more calorie intake than a normal human being. From his morning smoothie to his dinner, he eats and drinks specific foods and beverages, which include mostly vegan foods and very little organic meat.

It is very common for an athlete like Brady to drink more water than the required limit. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine suggests that “Men should consume about 3.7 liters of water per day, and the required intake for women is about 2.7 liters.” But Brady revealed in his book “The TB12 Method” that he drinks 37 cups of water on active days, which is even more than the doubled amount of the normal requirement.
