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 critical concerns. Humans consume five grains and experience seven emotions and six desires, making it inevitable to suffer from various illnesses. It is impossible for anyone to go through life without ever falling ill, but the key is to minimize illness and recover quickly when sick. This raises two important issues: "preventing illness" requires strengthening disease prevention, while "recovery as soon as possible" is the task of clinical treatment and rehabilitation medicine. The "Prevention and Family Rehabilitation of Common Diseases" series published by Science and Technology Press focuses on this core idea, with a particular emphasis on family rehabilitation. As the saying goes, "Three parts of treatment and seven parts of care," where "care" is synonymous with "family rehabilitation." Generally, during the acute phase of an illness, treatment is the primary focus, and a patient's treatment, diet, and daily routines must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. However, family 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 following the doctor's treatment, rational dietary, psychological, and exercise adjustments are also necessary. Patients and their families must adopt a new concept of family rehabilitation, recognizing it as an essential stage of disease prevention and treatment, and valuing its role in recovery.
Diet is not only the material foundation for sustaining life but also plays a crucial role in physical recovery through reasonable nutrition. Adjusting one's psychology 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.
