Features: If one's life journey is a song, then joy, sorrow, anger, and happiness, as well as birth, aging, illness, and death, are its indispensable melodies. The richness and longevity of this melody are the eternal themes of human pursuit. As human civilization advances and society progresses, people have paid increasing attention to their health. However, despite the rapid development of medical science, effective drugs and methods for treating many chronic diseases remain elusive. Therefore, finding alternative treatments beyond medication has become particularly important. It can be said that delaying or blocking the progression of chronic diseases is the best form of treatment, and dietary therapy and lifestyle adjustments are among the simplest, most effective, and most essential methods. Since the time of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs, our ancestors have embarked on a relentless pursuit of health and longevity. The sayings "Food is the foundation of life," "Health leads to longevity," and "Substances can benefit or harm people" reflect the simple yet profound dietary and health philosophies of our forebears. The Chinese nation has always placed great importance on the consumption and preparation of food since ancient times. It not only uses food for health preservation but also employs it to treat diseases, believing in the principles of "Medicine and food share the same origin, mechanism, and application," and even the saying "Dietary therapy is better than medicinal therapy." Over thousands of years, Chinese medical practitioners across generations have placed great emphasis on the development, research, and application of food for disease prevention, longevity, physical strength, and beauty, accumulating abundant knowledge and experience, forming a vast treasure trove.
To thoroughly explore this rich heritage and integrate it with the outstanding achievements of modern medicine for the benefit of the people and humanity at large, and to meet readers' pursuit of scientific dietary concepts and healthy eating methods, as well as to answer the questions of patients and those with special nutritional needs—how to choose food and how to utilize it to both meet the body's health needs and enjoy delicious meals—Tianjin Science and Technology Publishing House has planned the "Chinese Dietary Therapy Wonders, Delicacies, and Recipes" series. They invited me to serve as the chief editor and recruited influential experts from across the country to participate in content design and writing. Currently, the following books have been completed: Hypertension Family Recipes, Hyperlipidemia Family Recipes, Obesity Family Recipes, Kidney Disease Family Recipes, Diabetes Family Recipes, Gastrointestinal Disease Family Recipes, Liver and Gallbladder Disease Family Recipes, Pregnant Women Family Recipes, Postpartum and Lactating Women Family Recipes, Female Beauty and Health Family Recipes, and Male Strength and Fitness Family Recipes.
This series draws inspiration from ancient wisdom, inheriting the classical legacy of traditional Chinese medicine, while also embracing modern science, utilizing its remarkable achievements. By combining the old with the new, it discerns the characteristics and effects of various dietary types. Each book explains the nutritional and health knowledge for specific diseases or special physiological conditions in an easy-to-understand manner. It provides detailed introductions to the ingredients, preparation methods, nutritional content, nutritional features, and precautions of various dietary types, such as staple foods, dishes, medicinal diets, medicinal soups, medicinal porridge, and medicinal teas, offering readers a wealth of simple-to-make, nutritious, and delicious recipe options. Adhering to the principle of syndrome differentiation in dietary selection, it categorizes the causes and symptoms of various diseases and lists corresponding food types to help readers practice targeted eating.
With reverence for our nation's medical and dietary culture and a deep appreciation for human life, we have completed this series. We hope that its publication will contribute, however modestly, to the inheritance of the five thousand years of Chinese medical and dietary culture and the improvement of human life quality.
