Features: Who has stolen your health? How to stop the overextension of life? These are all topics that people are concerned about today. You might refer to the methods provided in this book to immediately plan and launch a nutrition and health program for yourself and your family. Why do so many people feel that health is becoming farther away from us? Food is becoming richer, but nutrition is becoming more unbalanced. Life is becoming more colorful, yet the threat of disease is becoming more severe. Our most common excuse is being too busy, but have we truly become so busy that we neglect our health and overextend our lives? The progress of the times has not brought about an improvement in our health status. While people continuously overcome various diseases, they are also digging traps for themselves, trading the width of their lives for its length. Premature death is no longer a distant concept; relatives, friends, and colleagues around us all have various health risks. While we sigh and become aware, we are also confused about what we and our families can do to live healthier and more confidently. We need to discard some old concepts and supplement some life, and only by understanding these simple principles will we be surprised to find: we can easily grasp health with just a little and persistence. Through this book, we want to tell readers the trendy health concepts and nutritional combinations, micro to vitamins, specific to where to have lunch, even to the much-discussed modern food safety. The daily lives, work and leisure, and mental health of modern people are all involved. At the end, there are also the top ten healthy foods and the top ten junk foods, as well as the popular diets in several major cities across the country, truly trendy to the tips of our toes. We hope that such a book can bring a little surprise to the office workers: Health, now can return to my side! According to the survey by Family Medicine, among the top ten health issues that modern people are most concerned about, resident nutrition and health status rank first. The gastrointestinal diseases and mental conditions of urban office workers are becoming increasingly worrying. At the same time, as they bear pressure from work, relationships, raising children, and caring for the elderly, with heavy material burdens and great mental stress, both physical and mental health gradually start to deteriorate. Therefore, the incidence of waist and leg diseases, obesity, high blood pressure, fatty liver, and mental illnesses is rapidly rising. The increase in income and improvement in living standards ultimately aim to improve the quality of life and health quality. If the direction of wealth goes against health, and the hard work to earn money only brings diseases and a shorter life, then what is the meaning of work and further pursuits? In fact, this is also the original intention of editing this book. This book starts with how to obtain the best nutrition and cultivate good habits, based on traditional Chinese medicine theory and modern nutrition science, to help us solve the long-standing contradiction between health and work. It enables everyone to obtain basic knowledge of nutrition and health through relaxed reading, thereby bettering their work and life and effectively extending the length of our lives, improving the quality of life.
