Cristiano Ronaldo spotted taking utmost care of health and fitness during vacation as fans notice tiny detail in latest holiday photo

Displaying his ripped physique in a sun-drenched setting, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed content on a majestic superyacht this Monday (June 26). However, it was his toenails that became a tantalizing detail for his sharp-eyed followers.

Stripped down to black and gold swimwear, the 38-year-old was seen in a laid-back pose on a plush couch. The Portuguese maestro, now plying his trade in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr, is notoriously dedicated to maintaining his physical health. He appears to have extended this attention to detail to his toenails as well.

Ronaldo had ebony-painted toenails while he lounged. Many of his staggering 593 million Instagram followers were swift to catch notice the black varnish on his nails, which raised eyebrows. However, it turns out this is part of a proactive health measure many top athletes adopt.

This obscure yet crucial detail came to light when Bild revealed that athletes often paint their toenails to shield them from the menace of fungi and bacteria. Bild's source stated (via Daily Mail):

"Many top athletes do this to protect their nails from fungi and bacteria when they are stuck in sweaty shoes for hours. Even Mike Tyson."

Indeed, it isn't Cristiano Ronaldo's debut with the black-painted toenails. Fans with a keen eye might recall a similar sighting from earlier this year. In January, a photograph shared by MMA fighter Francis Ngannou depicted the duo in a warm embrace. Ronaldo's lacquered nails were clearly visible in the image.

The impressive health and fitness routines of this £175 million-per-year athlete stretch far beyond standard regimes and involves unique approaches like nail care.
