BATON ROUGE -- LSU Quarterback Sam Leavitt put on quite the performance in his debut this past Saturday in the Tigers' 51-10 blowout of Clemson.

One thing that may have played a part in that success is his strict wellness routine.

It involves routines such as getting enough sleep, limiting screen time, and certain foods.

What results in Sam Leavitt scoring a touchdown for the Tigers starts long before that, in following his routine to get his mind and body right.

"I put my phone down at probably 8 p.m., put on my blue light glasses, take all my supplements, and you know do my stretching and get ready for bed," Leavitt told reporters on Sep. 1.

Leavitt says he gets around 9-10 hours of sleep each night, which is more than the CDC's recommendation of at least 7 hours for adults ages 18 to 60. The CDC says that getting extra sleep can help a person get sick less, stay at a healthy weight, and improve your metabolism.

"Not only do people feel better if they have a regular schedule, but we also think this decreases their chances of cardiovascular events later in life and dementia," Dr. Chafen Hart of National Jewish Health said.

Leavitt also wears blue light glasses, which are designed to filter out blue light from screens. According to Ochsner Health, blue light cast by phones and tablets can interrupt melatonin production, which controls sleep.

"The way I'm taking care of it the night before is going to directly reflect how I feel physically and mentally the next day," Leavitt said.

Another big part of his routine is organic foods. A member of Leavitt's family says Sam likes eating zucchini chips. WBRZ spoke to Fullness Farm in Baton Rouge, where they grow and sell freeze-dried zucchini, squash, and cucumber chips, about the benefits of freeze-dried foods like fruits and vegetables.

"It gets flash-frozen, and then it gets freeze-dried, which is a process that creates a vacuum and then dehydrates it under a vacuum so that the moisture is sublimated, that the moisture goes from a solid to a gas, and that locks in 90-95% of the nutrients and it makes it shelf-stable for 20 or 30 years," Grant Guidroz with Fullness Farm said.

While freeze-dried vegetables can be a good source of daily nutrients, experts say it should not be a substitute for fresh produce.

Leavitt's routine also calls for no microplastics and only glass.

"We started offering in vacuum-seal bags, which is the easiest and cheapest, but the glass jars are really popular too with people who want to avoid plastic," Guidroz said.

LSU fans I spoke with have taken a liking to the routine.

"Honestly, I feel like it takes a lot of discipline to follow a strict routine like that, and obviously he's doing what he can. If I were to start anything, it would definitely be the blue light therapy. Seems very beneficial," LSU student Gavan Michel said.
