Features: This book compiles information scattered across historical medical literature and current reports on health-preserving and health-enhancing foods, combined with the author's clinical experience. With the aim of inheriting, promoting, organizing, and improving, it integrates research findings from ancient and modern times to create Fruit for Health, knowledge. The book includes 158 types of foods (including 50 authentic and 108 supplementary ones) from categories such as grains, beans, oils, beverages, and seasonings. It describes the aliases, origins, properties, meridians, efficacy, main uses, dosage, health-preserving effects, classic health-preserving recipes, and dietary restrictions or incompatibilities of these foods. Among them, it collects over 2,800 practical ancient and modern health-preserving recipes. It is especially important to remind readers that although the health-preserving and health-enhancing effects of traditional foods are proven and widely applicable, they should only be used as supplementary treatment methods. Therefore, for critical conditions, it is essential to follow medical advice and use Western medicine or Chinese medicine for treatment, rather than blindly applying the health-preserving recipes listed in this book for self-treatment. Additionally, readers should not lightly trust so-called "miraculous folk remedies" or "family secret recipes" found on the streets.
