This series of books is a collection of the essence of health education lectures conducted by the nationally renowned health education expert—Hong Zhaoguang, who is specially appointed by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Ministry of Health. The entire series focuses on healthy lifestyles, covering topics of interest to the public, such as rational diet, moderate exercise, balanced psychology, prevention and treatment of common diseases, and knowledge.

The series combines authority, science, knowledge, fun, and practicality, making it a masterpiece of public health education and a fine example of medical science popularization literature.
Since the reform and opening-up, the living standards and health levels of the Chinese people have greatly improved. There has been a growing trend of learning health science and self-care. However, it must be admitted that, overall, the scientific and cultural literacy of the Chinese people is still relatively low. Some lack awareness of self-care, adhere to unhealthy lifestyles, and even retain outdated customs. Pseudoscience, in the guise of health functions and methods, continues to harm people's health in some areas. Therefore, strengthening the popularization and education of health knowledge among the public, promoting scientific spirit, improving the ability to distinguish between science and superstition, civilization and ignorance, progress and backwardness, breaking away from outdated customs, opposing feudal superstition, and promoting the establishment of healthy lifestyles across society remains a long-term and arduous task.
Especially after the fight against SARS in the first half of this year, public awareness of self-care has greatly increased. Learning culture, advocating science, practicing hygiene, and valuing cleanliness have become a trend. Strengthening public health systems, health education, and improving public awareness of disease prevention have become a consensus across society. To meet the needs of the public, expand health and hygiene education, and promote the in-depth development of the "Community Health Lecture Tour" activity, the People's Health Publishing House has published the "Essence of the Community Health Lecture Tour" series.
The authors of this series are a group of chief health education experts appointed by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Ministry of Health. They include doctors with rich clinical experience, scholars engaged in long-term nutrition research, and experts specializing in health management. Their common characteristic is a passion for China's health education and health promotion efforts. The publication of the "Essence of the Community Health Lecture Tour" series marks a new phase for the "Community Health Lecture Tour" activity. This is a book that will benefit you for a lifetime. It will bring you to 100 years of happiness, 100 years of health, or 100 years of healthy happiness, with good moods every day.
What is a good mood? It is a combination of good will and good feelings. Good will means love, kindness, and sincerity; good feelings mean friendship, family love, and romantic love. With a good mood, you will feel that the world is truly beautiful, filled with sunshine, and life is full of hope. You will dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to society and completely forget worries and troubles.
However, simply reading this book is not enough. You must also think and act. Reading provides knowledge, which is necessary; thinking provides insights, which is essential; and doing provides action and results, which is the most important part. A philosopher once said, "A single step of action is better than a dozen plans." When should you act? The best time is to start small and start now. Many diseases originate in childhood, take root in youth, develop in middle age, and manifest in old age. Prevention is key, and preparing for the future is the best strategy.
Health is a valuable asset in life. With health, there is hope; without health, there is nothing. Life, like time, is a one-way street, like a river flowing eastward to the sea, never to return. The ancients said, "The best medicine is to prevent illness." Let us care for ourselves, not harm ourselves; save health, not overdraw health. Then the tree of life will remain evergreen, and the spring of life will forever accompany us.
