The billionaire revealed the secret of his longevity, explaining that the only thing he strictly observes is to take a break from meals between four and six hours a day. “I don’t eat for four to six hours every day. That’s how I keep myself going. Otherwise, I do nothing, unfortunately. At the age of 43, when I said I was done, I said “I swear not to touch a tennis racket again”, “I swear not to run again”. Because I ran three times more than Năstase, seven times more than others and I said enough is enough, I made a mistake”, said Ion Ţiriac in the “Friends of Ovidiu” show.
Ion Țiriac would eat more fat, but refrains
Regarding food, the former great tennis player regrets that he cannot eat the dishes that are made in Transylvania. The disclosure was made by Mariana Stanciu, the Romanian billionaire’s cousin. “Ion would also eat a little fatter, like in the old days, but he has nothing to do and leaves it softer. He must also take care of his health and figure. He probably inherited from his mother, Ecaterina, who came from Alba Iulia, this appetite for fattier dishes, common in Transylvania”said Mariana Stanciu, according to impact.ro.
