Oh my god! Is this really a sign of illness? When your body shows these symptoms, you must wonder if you’re really sick. What diseases could these signs indicate? Unfortunately, even if you decide to see a doctor, you don’t know which department to consult, and you worry endlessly because you don’t know where to ask. This book is written by 11 doctors from Taipei Medical University Hospital and Taipei Wan Fang Hospital. It addresses different parts of the body, allowing you to easily identify issues from 13 organ areas—eyes, lips and tongue, oral mucosa, teeth, skin, acne, moles, hair, nails, urine, stool, gas, and sleep—through self-awareness of color, appearance, condition, odor, and frequency. Not only can it help you find the source of the problem, but it also provides in-depth yet simple introductions to related diseases, making it easy for you to understand and clear up all your confusion. Pay more attention to your body, and even small problems can lead to big health discoveries!
In ancient times, kings went to great lengths to pursue immortality, spending any price to extend their lives, but in the end, they could only achieve "health." Despite advancements in medicine, human life may still increase significantly this century, but it will still have an end. Therefore, maintaining daily health, paying attention to the body’s signals, and practicing preventive care are the most important principles of health maintenance.
The human body’s structure is incredibly complex, with its intricate mechanisms and functions resembling a "labyrinth network." Through orderly coordination and interaction, it achieves balance and health both internally and externally. Especially for abnormal conditions, there is a pre-warning mechanism to alert people to pay attention and care, fulfilling the needs of preventive care. To pursue health, the first step is understanding the body and practicing preventive care. This book explains the importance of preventive care through simple yet profound text and charts, pioneering a new approach to making complex concepts accessible.
