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 concerns. People eat grains and have seven emotions and six desires, and it is inevitable to suffer from various diseases. It is impossible for anyone to never get sick in their lifetime, but the key is to have fewer illnesses and recover quickly after falling ill. This raises two important issues: "having fewer illnesses" requires strengthening disease prevention, while "recovering quickly" is the task of clinical treatment and rehabilitation medicine. The "Common Diseases Prevention, Treatment, and Home Rehabilitation" series published by Science and Technology Press focuses on home rehabilitation. As the saying goes, "Three parts of treatment and seven parts of care," here, "care" is equivalent to "home rehabilitation" in meaning. Generally speaking, during the acute phase of an illness, treatment is the primary focus, and the patient's treatment, diet, and rest must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. However, home 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 cooperating with medical treatment, reasonable dietary, psychological, and exercise adjustments and care are also necessary. Patients and their families must adopt a new concept of home rehabilitation, viewing it as an essential stage in disease prevention and treatment, and recognizing the role of home rehabilitation in disease recovery.
Diet is not only the material basis for maintaining life but also plays a crucial role in physical recovery through a balanced diet. Adjusting one's mentality is beneficial for improving the immune system and fostering a belief in overcoming the disease. Exercise is not only an active form of rehabilitation but also helps the sick body recover quickly and strengthens the body. As for music therapy, regular routines, and other measures, they are both necessary and simple to implement.
The "Common Diseases Prevention, Treatment, and Home Rehabilitation" series invites medical experts from the clinical front to serve as chief editors for each volume. Using simple and clear language, the series provides in-depth introductions to the causes, related knowledge, prevention, and treatment of each common disease, with a special focus on various home rehabilitation methods, such as psychological adjustment, exercise rehabilitation, music therapy, and home medication guidelines. It is suitable for patients and their families to read. The series is richly illustrated and features a fresh layout. We believe that the publication of this series will help all readers maintain their health!
