Rheumatism refers to diseases that primarily manifest as pain in the musculoskeletal system, such as joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bursae, regardless of their underlying causes. It is actually a general term encompassing a group of diseases. Based on the etiology, pathogenesis, physiological, and pathological characteristics of rheumatic diseases, this book introduces over 100 delicious dishes, medicinal diet recipes, herbal wines, and more than 20 simple and practical small recipes for preventing and treating rheumatism. Each recipe is concisely described in terms of efficacy, preparation, serving methods, suitable audience, and dietary taboos, striving to integrate knowledge, fun, and science. This allows readers to prepare and enjoy meals in a relaxed and enjoyable way while also aiding in disease recovery. Another feature of this book is that each dish comes with a short tip that provides small pieces of knowledge related to rheumatic diseases, treatment tricks, and information about the dish itself. The book is richly illustrated, visually intuitive, and easy to follow. Additionally, to guide daily meal planning, a "weekly meal plan" is specially included for reference.
