Emperor Kangxi lived a long life because of his diet. Although he is the monarch of a country, he is very self-disciplined. Generally speaking, his diet is mainly vegetarian, and he never eats too much. He strictly controls his diet and lifestyle, does not stay up late, and is not addicted to women. This is also very important.

If you like to study historical figures, you will find that Kangxi's life span is particularly long. Although it is not high now, it has been very good in ancient times, because the average life expectancy of the ancients was over 40 years old, and only a few people lived to 60 or 70 years old. Because the medical conditions in ancient times were much worse than now, Kangxi lived for so long because of an important reason, that is, self-discipline in diet, which is also a way of longevity and health preservation now.

Ordinary emperors, or rich people, like big fish and big meat and live a luxurious life, but Kangxi is different from them. He eats very little at every meal, mainly vegetarian, and won't produce too much greasy. Similarly, compared with Empress Dowager Cixi, he will be much richer in food. In addition, Kangxi would not eat a full meal as people say now, because eating too much would also increase the burden on his body. It seems that Kangxi is very plump.

Finally, Kangxi never indulged in debauchery, which is also the most common mistake made by many monarchs. Sometimes, if he indulges in this aspect, it is easy for him to neglect the great cause of his country and even be overthrown and die. Kangxi attached great importance to this, so his life was regular. He also goes to bed early and gets up early every day, which can be said to be a model among monarchs.
