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. People are bound to suffer from various illnesses, as even those who have never been sick in their lifetime do not exist. 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" falls under the scope 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 illness, treatment is the primary focus, and all aspects of a patient's care, including diet and rest, must be guided by a doctor. However, family rehabilitation differs in that the condition has stabilized at this stage, with all indicators returning to normal or near-normal. To restore health, in addition to following a doctor's treatment plan, patients and their families must also reasonably manage their diet, psychology, and exercise. 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 foundation for sustaining life but also plays a crucial role in physical recovery. Adjusting one's mindset is beneficial for improving the immune system and fostering a belief in overcoming the disease. Exercise, too, 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.
