ROBERT Lewandowski has to thank his wife for helping him remain one of the most feared strikers in the world.
The 33-year-old Bayern Munich forward leaned on stunning Polish beauty Anna for nutrition advice as he considered extending his career at the top.

And she came to his aid by encouraging him to incorporate beetroot juice and fresh fish into his diet – a recipe that saw Lewandowski break Gerd Muller’s long-time record for most goals in one. Bundesliga season in the last campaign.
Meanwhile, he will also be Poland’s dangerous man as England travel to the National Stadium in Warsaw in the hope of securing a World Cup berth.
But he couldn’t have done it all without Anna, 33, a health and fitness ace.
In addition to having a degree in physical education, she has also represented her country in karate championships around the world.
A fan of the UK, she even traveled to London to promote a healthy lifestyle by hosting a fitness seminar at a Hammersmith gym in 2018.

It is her knowledge of well-being that has helped her man continue to raise the bar.
In charge of Lewandowski’s meals, Anna prefers to use fresh herbs and spices while totally avoiding lactose-based foods.
She said Bild: “The most important thing is training and nutrition.
“We are abstaining from lactose and wheat flour. This is quality food.
“Pancakes, brownies, vegetable spaghetti, porridge or millet. We also like to eat quality fish.
“Sometimes after training we drink beet juice with cinnamon or cayenne pepper.
“When we mix several foods at the same time, sometimes we don’t do the right thing.
“We feel bloated, we have to loosen our pants. The mixture is too much for our body.”

In 2010, Anna started her own blog called Healthy Plan by Ann.
