Features: "Know, Trust, and Act" is also the overarching outline for compiling this book. Part of it uses specific numbers and data to remind readers that the health status of middle-aged individuals is alarming, and tragedies like early deaths frequently occur, prompting deeper reflection. It declares to readers through undeniable facts that, overall, middle age is not just a golden age of life but also a "time of troubles." The second part introduces concepts of health, factors influencing health, physiological and psychological characteristics of middle-aged people, common diseases among middle-aged individuals, as well as basic medical and nutritional knowledge, providing useful information for readers who rarely engage with medicine. I hope this helps them gain "knowing" and "trust." The third part is structured around the "Four Pillars of Health" proposed by the World Health Organization, outlining how to acquire and maintain health through specific actions in four aspects, and emphasizes with concrete examples that "acting" is the most important.
