Features: The fast-paced life in modern urban environments often leaves people feeling physically and mentally exhausted. As material civilization advances rapidly, we also see an increase in various diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, liver diseases, hypertension, diabetes, and more. Many believe this is due to economic development and improved living standards. In reality, this is a misconception. The increase in diseases is not a result of material progress but rather stems from our outdated mindset and insufficient health awareness. In the United States, for example, higher-income whites tend to have significantly lower rates of hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses compared to lower-income blacks. This is because whites receive better health education, sanitation knowledge, and self-care awareness. Therefore, we must also start with ourselves. However, the most common scenario in our current situation is to visit hospitals only when sick and lacking knowledge on prevention when healthy. Small ailments are often dismissed, and even when illness strikes, we merely follow doctors' prescriptions and take medication on time, assuming that solves everything. In fact, we often overlook self-diagnosis before seeking medical attention, self-care during treatment, and regular preventive health measures. These are precisely the issues this series aims to address. We consulted healthcare experts, reviewed extensive authoritative materials, and meticulously crafted comprehensive and scientific health care and treatment protocols for readers on the most common heart diseases, hypertension, high blood lipids, diabetes, rheumatic diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases, and more. From initial pathological understanding to traditional misconceptions, as well as self-diagnosis, self-care, and corresponding dietary therapies, are all thoroughly explained. This way, the series enables readers to gain a clear understanding of their own and their loved ones' health conditions without leaving home, allowing them to take appropriate measures. "Prevention is better than cure," and even if health issues arise, they can be addressed promptly and scientifically. Friends who are already healthy will, after reading this series, be more committed to maintaining good habits and abandoning unhealthy practices. Those in a "sub-healthy" state will, upon reading, pay sufficient attention to the "yellow light" warnings, receive timely corrections from the book, and thus shed the "sub-healthy" label. For those who are already ill, this series will help them pay more attention to self-care, better cooperate with medical treatment, and recover more quickly! We hope this book will help everyone lead a happier, healthier, more fulfilling, and prosperous life!
