In the 21st century, China will fully enter a well-off society. While creating and enjoying a prosperous life, health will undoubtedly become one of the most pressing concerns. People eat grains and have emotions, and it is inevitable to suffer from various illnesses. There is no one who has never been sick in their lifetime, but the key is to stay healthy and recover quickly when illness does occur. This raises two important issues: "staying healthy" requires strengthening disease prevention, while "recovering quickly" is the task of clinical treatment and rehabilitation medicine. The "Prevention and Family Rehabilitation of Common Diseases" series published by Science and Technology Press of China focuses on this core theme, with a particular emphasis on family rehabilitation. As the saying goes, "Three parts of treatment and seven parts of care," where "care" is equivalent to "family rehabilitation" in this context. Generally speaking, during the acute phase of illness, treatment is the primary focus, and all aspects of a patient's care, including diet and rest, must be conducted under the guidance of a doctor. However, family rehabilitation is different. At this stage, the condition has stabilized, and all indicators have returned to normal or are close to normal. To restore health, in addition to following the doctor's treatment plan, rational dietary, psychological, and exercise adjustments are also necessary. Patients and their families must adopt a new concept of family rehabilitation, recognizing it as an essential stage in disease prevention and treatment, and valuing its role in recovery. Diet is not only the material foundation for life but also plays a crucial role in physical recovery through balanced nutrition. Adjusting one's mindset is beneficial for improving the immune system and fostering a belief in overcoming illness. Exercise is not only an active form of rehabilitation but also helps the body recover quickly and strengthens the physique. As for music therapy, regular routines, and other measures, they are both necessary and simple to implement.
