According to the Argus, Brunos secret of longevity is lots of sleep, no pizza and staying off WhatsApp before bed.
Me, drinking green tea and eating food in moderation (especially fry ups).
What's yours?
There is a standing joke among Albion’s former Spanish Armada.
If Andrea Orlandi, David Lopez and company ever start a Whatsapp group chat at what they might refer to as dinner time, they know Bruno won’t be online.
He will be getting ready for bed – or maybe asleep already.
The Albion skipper, on course to beat his own record as the club’s oldest outfield ever-present, has revealed a few of his tricks of the trade as he keeps going strong at 36.
Ten hours of sleep is among them, along with recovery between matches, a good diet and an active life during the close season.
But don’t expect him to be tucking into pizza after training.
Or staying up to anything like the sort of times his Spanish compatriots usually manage.
“It’s about small details,” he said. “It’s about trying to do everything right – food, resting, working.
“They are small details but, when you put them all together, they give you a little bit more energy and fitness.”
Sleep is pretty key – including a siesta when possible.
“I’m doing so many things maybe I don’t have enough time,” he said.
“But of course I try to sleep every day, no longer than 20 minutes. It’s a nice habit as well, especially when you have got kids because it gives you a little bit of extra energy.
“I try to eat really healthy – no sugars, no fats.
“I sleep quite a lot, at least nine or ten hours. We don’t give enough importance to sleep but it is really important to us.
“There a few things I try to follow and, until now, it’s working.
“I think now it is quite controversial with Pep Guardiola’s ways at Manchester City.
“There are a few things he spoke about, like no sex after midnight.
