She was also interviewed by the New York Post and didn’t hide that her eating habits include a good dose of calories and sugar. So let’s start from the beginning: here’s his story
Tall, slim, with sensual curves in her little black mini dress. Norma Williams at 74 looks like a model. So much so that his dream is to show at Milan Fashion Week. Someone will say: lucky her, it’s a matter of genetics. But no: the lady says she feels fitter today than when she was 20 years old. It is not only a question of aesthetics but above all of energy. How did you get these results? With sports, of course. With diet, even if it’s really unconventional. But above all with the head. Because there is a fundamental assumption: “If you retire and don’t do anything with your life, it’s like stepping in the grave”. It should be engraved in the mind.
Mrs. Williams and she’s not exactly the classic granny with the crochet in her hand and the biscuits in the oven. She is English originally from Liverpool and lives in Spoleto, where she and her 85-year-old partner manage Umbria Holiday Rentals. What does she write on her Instagram about her? Let’s start from the description of himself: “Age 74!! Health and fitness freak! Fashion maniac! Body watcher! ANTI slimming + diet! The longer you live, the greater your beauty potential! And she reiterates: aging is above all a question of approach, of mentality, which she fights by refusing the idea of feeling old.
Then, of course, there’s the lifestyle. But it is not made up of overwhelming diets. She has also been interviewed since New York Post and he hasn’t hidden that his eating habits include a good dose of calories and sugar. And then let’s start from the beginning. From a youth, even if only personal, rather wild. What does Norma reveal? “I went to bed with many packets of chocolate marshmallows, huge bags of Wotsits (crisps of various shapes) and a freshly sliced white loaf.” Consequence? “I was a mess and felt sick all the time.” Norma spent her childhood in Blackpool, in the English county of Lancashire. She moved to London at 17 and immediately embarked on a modeling career. But very short: ended after an uncontrolled fattening due to her nocturnal binges. It took her three decades to establish a balanced relationship with food.
The turning point that led her to overturn everything has arrived. And it’s a very relaxed choice of diet combined with a very active lifestyle: “The big difference between 20 and 70 is very simply energy. My levels have increased exponentially over the past 50 years.” So let’s analyze it, this rule of daily life with surprising effects. Let’s start with physical activity. Nine kilometers of walks every day and then training (but only on weekdays, it can be avoided on holidays) with 3 kilo weights. The lady is English and she has chosen a precise moment to make them: while she waits for her to boil her tea. And the diet? Don’t expect tears and blood. Here’s how she describes it: “For breakfast a wholemeal croissant filled with honey, plus a cappuccino with milk, sometimes two or three cappuccinos a day”. Then, good weight, also drinks six cups of tea a day, each with two teaspoons of sugar.Finished the main meal “I can also eat four or five packets of five salat biscuitsi” And dinner? “Mixed nuts, cold cuts and cheeses, wholemeal bread, grilled salmon or battered prawns, potatoes and vegetables”.
Not even Norma skimps on wine. She admits, “I drink a whole bottle every night.” It goes against the tide of the alarms raised in recent months by various scientists, who warned about the harm caused by alcohol. The biologist Antonella Viola of the University of Padua has also done so, associating its consumption with some types of cancer, at least as a contributing cause. But the lady does not seem to give much account of these alarms. There are though two rules to respect. Avoid snacking between meals. And then “eat only after workouts are completed.” These are his secrets. When people stop her on the street and ask her age, she is astounded. Norma never archived the idea of walking the catwalk at least once in her life. In short, she is an over 65 outside the box. Don’t call her grandma, please.
