Her long life and radiant health often led admirers to credit her disciplined lifestyle, her understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and her firm commitment to structured daily habits. Madame Chiang followed a consistent routine, going to bed at 11 p.m. each night and waking at 9 a.m., allowing herself ample rest. She also devoted about two hours a day to creative activities such as reading, painting, and writing—habits she believed helped keep her mind energetic and her spirit calm.
Each morning, she began her day with a glass of cold lemon water, a ritual she felt refreshed her body and helped digestion. She also incorporated fruits like kiwi, pineapple, and lychee into her regular diet, enjoying them not only for their taste but also for their nutrient-rich profiles.
Among the vegetables she favored most was celery, a staple in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Celery is known for being rich in proteins, carotenoids, carbohydrates, and B vitamins, while remaining simple and inexpensive to grow. Many believe it supports heart health, protects vision, assists with weight management, and helps reduce damage caused by free radicals. These qualities made it a consistent feature on her dining table.
