The secrets to Soong Mei-ling’s longevity: how this exceptional woman lived to be 106 years old

Eat less to live better

One of her most inspiring practices remains her way of eating. Soong Mei-ling ate five small meals a day, always stopping when she was 70% full. Never an overly full stomach, never a feeling of heaviness. Just enough to stay light, energetic, and ready to go.

Taking care of oneself, with consistency and kindness, remains the most beautiful of inheritances.
