Novak Djokovic Reveals Fitness Secrets: Algae, Herbs, and Hydration Fuel Champion’s Regimen
BELGRADE, SERBIA – tennis superstar Novak Djokovic, currently ranked fourth in the world, has shared details of his rigorous approach to maintaining peak physical condition, even as he approaches age 38. Despite a recent shift in the Grand Slam dominance-wiht Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz claiming major titles in 2024-Djokovic remains the all-time leader in Grand Slam championships with 24 titles (Australian Open, Roland garros, Wimbledon, US Open).
Djokovic attributes his sustained success to meticulous attention to detail in preserving his body, beginning with a specific morning routine. “Then I start moisturizing my body and drink lukewarm water with lemon and salt,” he explained in statements reported by the Daily Mail. “Then I eat my moisturizing formula to compensate for electrolyte and minerals and restore activity to the body, as I like eating fruits, juices, or something that contains vitamins.”
His preferred beverage includes “problematic berries and dates,” alongside a daily dose of spirulina, a blue-green algae known for its antioxidant properties, protein, vitamins, and minerals, which he says boosts immunity, energy, and reduces oxidative stress. He also consumes a green powder blend containing marine herbs.”Its taste is good because it is mixed with other ingredients,” Djokovic noted, adding he uses a tablespoon daily.
notably,Djokovic avoids coffee,occasionally opting for green tea due to its caffeine content.
Beyond nutrition, Djokovic prioritizes consistent physical activity. “After that, I start physical activity. I make sure to keep active even if I do not have a tennis training or commitment, I like to enjoy the open air for my health,” he said. His activities include swimming, cycling, walking, running, and other sports like football, basketball, and table tennis. He also incorporates sauna and ice bath sessions for recovery.
In 2024, Djokovic did not secure a Grand Slam title, with Jannik Sinner winning the Australian Open and Wimbledon, and Carlos Alcaraz claiming the Roland Garros and US Open championships.
