PSG superstar Lionel Messi was cured by doctor Giuliano Poser from sickness before games with Bach flower remedy – The Sun | The Sun
IN 2013, after suffering from a series of niggling injuries that were hampering his form, Lionel Messi decided to make a lifestyle change.
Admittedly, the former Barcelona hero didn't have the best diet – living off pizza and red meat at the time.
But, as he got older, intolerances to what he was consuming caused a reaction in his body that would see the little No10 vomit uncontrollably on the pitch.
Messi, 35, flew to Italy to meet with Dr Giuliano Poser in Sacile to discuss his issues.
Poser, a sports medicine practitioner for more than two decades, preached methods somewhat different to his contemporaries.
Nutrition, postural corrections, osteopathy, Bach flowers, kinesiology, massage and emotional therapy are all key components in Poser's arsenal.
TOUGH ON THE SEVEN-TIME BALLON D'OR WINNER
Messi was told, according to well-informed Argentine journalist Veronica Brunati, to eat only what his body needs, not what it wants.
Out went foods that aren't well tolerated by the body.
Flours, yeasts and refined wheat that's found in pasta, pizza and white bread were eliminated.
Pork and beef, eggs, shellfish and dairy products were off the menu too in the diet overhaul.
