Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the New York Jets, has been exploring unconventional methods to aid his recovery from injuries. Recently, he has started consuming a mixture of cayenne pepper and water, which he refers to as his 'fountain of youth.' This remedy was introduced to him by his teammate, punter Thomas Morstead.

The capsaicin in cayenne pepper is known for its potential health benefits, including pain relief and improved metabolism, which could be particularly beneficial for Rodgers as he navigates through a challenging season.

At 41, Rodgers is the oldest active player in the NFL, and his ongoing struggles with injuries, including issues with his knee and hamstring, highlight the physical toll of playing at such an advanced age. The Jets, currently in a slump with five consecutive losses, are hoping this new approach will rejuvenate their performance as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Houston Texans.
