Features: Nutritional science is the study of how diet maintains and supports life, playing a significant role in the continuation of life and human evolution. When the human body becomes ill, based on pathological changes, the study of dietary restrictions and adjustments in food types and composition is conducted to fully provide water, starch, protein, fat, minerals, vitamins, and special elements, promoting the disappearance of illness and the restoration of normal life activities. This is known as dietary therapy. Some traditional Chinese medicine decoctions and beverages can also be used in the form of dietary therapy for patients, which is referred to as "medicinal food with the same origin." Since the reform and opening-up, people's living standards have significantly improved, and dietary therapy has flourished. Related materials are abundant in bookstores, while advertisements are everywhere, overwhelming and confusing. Now, under the busy schedules of Fang Xuexian, Yu Yangju, and Chu Chonghua, experts and scholars from Shanghai, Anhui, Sichuan, Heilongjiang, and other regions have been invited. With their respective strengths, they have focused on compiling the essence of traditional dietary therapy, organizing it into chapters such as children, women, middle-aged and elderly, elderly, tumors, and beauty, in order of diseases. Using the "headnote" format, they introduce practical advantages and more effective aspects.
