Features: The fast-paced life in modern urban environments often leaves people feeling physically and mentally exhausted. As material civilization advances rapidly, the corresponding diseases in our society are also increasing, such as cardiovascular diseases, liver diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, and more. Many people believe this is due to economic development and a more affluent lifestyle. In fact, this perspective is incorrect. This is not a result of material civilization's advancement but rather stems from our outdated mindset and insufficient health awareness. In the United States, for example, higher-income white individuals experience significantly fewer cases of hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses compared to lower-income Black individuals, and they also live longer. This is precisely because they receive better health education, sanitation knowledge, and self-care awareness. Therefore, we must start with ourselves. However, the current common scenario is that people only go to the hospital when they are sick and have no idea how to prevent illness when they are healthy. They often dismiss minor ailments and, when they do get sick, simply follow the doctor's prescriptions, take medication on time, and assume everything will be fine. In reality, we often overlook self-diagnosis before seeking medical attention, self-maintenance during treatment, and daily self-care. These are precisely the issues this book series aims to address. We consulted healthcare experts, reviewed extensive authoritative materials, and meticulously crafted a comprehensive and scientific health care and treatment process for readers on the most common heart diseases, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, diabetes, rheumatic diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases, and more. From the initial understanding of pathophysiology to traditional misconceptions, as well as detailed introductions to self-diagnosis, self-care, and corresponding dietary therapies, this series provides a thorough guide. As a result, readers can gain a clear understanding of their own and their loved ones' health conditions without leaving their homes and 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 their good habits and eliminating unhealthy practices. Friends in a "sub-healthy" state will, after reading this series, pay sufficient attention to the "yellow light" warnings they face, receive timely corrections from the book, and thus shed the "sub-healthy" label. For those who are already sick, this series will help them pay more attention to self-care daily, better cooperate with medical treatment, and recover more quickly. We hope this book can help everyone lead a happier, healthier, more fulfilling, and prosperous life!
