Features: The entire book is themed around a healthy lifestyle, covering topics of public concern such as balanced diet, moderate exercise, mental balance, prevention and treatment of common diseases, and knowledge. The book is renowned for its profound and thought-provoking language, as well as its simple and memorable expressions. It integrates 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, and there has been a growing trend of learning health science knowledge. However, it must be admitted that, overall, the scientific and cultural literacy of the Chinese people is still relatively low. Some lack self-care awareness, cling to unhealthy lifestyles, and even retain outdated customs. Some pseudo-scientific so-called health functions and methods continue to harm people's health in some areas. Therefore, strengthening the popularization and education of health knowledge for the masses, promoting the spirit of science, 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distinguish between science and superstition, civilization and ignorance, progress and backwardness, breaking away from outdated customs, opposing feudal superstition, and promoting the establishment of a healthy lifestyle across society remain long-term and arduous tasks. Especially after the fight against SARS in the first half of this year, the self-care awareness of the general public has greatly increased, and there has been a growing trend of learning culture, advocating science, promoting hygiene, and valuing cleanliness. Strengthening the public health system, enhancing health education, and improving the public's awareness of disease prevention have become a consensus across society. To meet the needs of the masses and expand health education and publicity, and to promote the in-depth development of the "Health Community Action" initiative, the People's Health Press has published the "Essentials of Health Community Action Lectures" series. The authors of this series are a group of chief health education experts appointed by the Central Committee for Promoting Civilization and the Ministry of Health. Among them are experienced clinical doctors, scholars engaged in long-term nutrition research, and experts in health management. Their common characteristic is their dedication to China's health education and health promotion efforts. The publication of the "Essentials of Health Community Action Lectures" series marks a new phase in the "Health Community Action" initiative. "Overcoming Diabetes by Yourself" is divided into 12 chapters, illustrated with text and images, introducing both the basic knowledge of preventing and treating diabetes and summarizing the author's reflections and insights on diabetes prevention and treatment over the years. Reading this book not only increases your knowledge of preventing and treating diabetes but also contributes to your physical and mental well-being. The author believes that "Overcoming Diabetes by Yourself" can serve as a trusted guide and companion for the general public, diabetes patients, and their families.
