Features: 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 concerned hot topics. Humans consume five grains and have seven emotions and six desires, making it inevitable to suffer from various illnesses. It is impossible for a person to never get sick in their lifetime; the key is to minimize illness and recover quickly if sick. This raises two important issues: "minimizing illness" requires strengthening disease prevention, while "quick recovery" is the task of clinical treatment and rehabilitation medicine. The "Common Diseases Prevention, Treatment, and Home Rehabilitation" series published by Science and Technology Education Press is centered around this theme, with a focus on home rehabilitation. As the saying goes, "Three parts of treatment and seven parts of care," where the "care" here is equivalent to "home rehabilitation." Generally, 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, rational 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 its role in disease recovery.
Diet is not only the material basis 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 also helps build confidence in overcoming the disease. Exercise is not just 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 plain and accessible language, the series provides in-depth and easy-to-understand 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!
