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 pressing concerns. People eat grains and have emotions, and it is inevitable to suffer from various illnesses. There is no one who has never been sick in their lifetime, but the key is to minimize illness and recover quickly when sick. This raises two important issues: "preventing illness" requires strengthening disease prevention, while "recovering quickly" is the task of clinical treatment and rehabilitation medicine.
The "Prevention and Treatment of Common Diseases and Family Rehabilitation" 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 equivalent to "family rehabilitation" in this context. Generally, during the acute phase of an illness, treatment is the primary focus, and a patient's treatment, diet, and rest must all be guided by 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 in disease prevention and treatment and valuing its role in recovery. Diet is not only the material basis for sustaining life but also plays a crucial role in physical recovery. Adjusting one's mindset can improve the immune system and foster a belief in overcoming the disease. Exercise is an active form of rehabilitation; moderate exercise not only helps the sick body recover quickly but also strengthens the body. As for music therapy, regular routines, and other measures, they are both necessary and simple to implement.
