What if the key to a long and fulfilled life lay in simple habits, repeated every day with consistency? In any case, this is what Soong Mei-ling, an emblematic figure of the 20th century, known for its elegance and for its extraordinary vitality, seemed to be practiced. Back on his wellness rituals, within everyone’s reach.
A sanctuarized sleep as a real prescription
Sleep is often the great victim of our overloaded days. However, Soong Mei-ling made it a top priority. His pace? Go to bed at 11pm and wake up at 9am, for a total of ten hours of rest each night. A golden rule from which she never derogated. She also devoted two hours a day to creative and soothing activities: reading, drawing, moments of serenity. A way to regenerate the mind as much as the body, while decompressing daily tensions.
The morning ritual that gently awakens the body
First of all, even before the first meal, Soong Mei-ling used to start his day with a large glass of cold water embellished with lemon. A simple gesture, within the reach of all, but formidablely effective. This ritual, which many naturopaths still recommend today, promotes the revival of metabolism and prepares the body to welcome the day in the best conditions.
Her morning plate resembled a real hymn to nature. Kiwis, pineapple, lychee: so many fruits generous in vitamins and antioxidants. And for vegetables, two must-sees occupied the star.
