Features: It is natural for humans to experience birth, aging, illness, and death. However, fate can be changed and can be in our own hands. Scientists have determined that the natural lifespan of humans is 150 years. So why do people not live to their natural lifespan? Why do even some renowned, influential, and wealthy individuals die young? There are many factors involved. When it comes to health and longevity, as well as happiness and fulfillment, humanity has been exploring and striving for them since ancient times. The conclusion is that health is wealth, health is life. Health not only benefits families but also benefits society. Only with health can one achieve longevity. Discussing longevity without health is just empty talk. Therefore, health is the theme of life.
From ancient times to the present, from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon to modern medicine, countless records of traditional Chinese medicine and medical practices have been compiled. Countless wise, brave, and virtuous individuals have tirelessly pursued and explored the path to health and longevity. With a positive attitude toward life, they have embraced reality, respected science, dispelled superstition, and summarized lessons learned, leaving behind many valuable experiences and health-preserving tips. These have provided with an irreplaceable shortcut to learning about health, practicing, and reaching the peak of longevity. It is under the influence of this trend that we have compiled this Compendium of Health and Longevity.
We can confidently say that owning this book is like having a hospital and a sanatorium with you. By reading it carefully and putting it into practice, one can cure illnesses if they have them or maintain good health if they are free of illness, thereby achieving the goal of improving fitness and longevity.
"A great tree grows from a tiny sprout; a nine-story platform begins with a pile of earth; a thousand-mile journey starts with a single step." In his speech at the 1998 International Day for Older Persons launch ceremony, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan stated: "Life is no longer like a short sprint but more like a marathon." How vivid an analogy! If life is like a marathon, then we all need patience, confidence, perseverance, resilience, and persistence in our exercise.
In today's fast-paced world full of competition and joy, people cannot afford to be lacking in knowledge about daily life. However, most people do not have enough time or energy to pay close attention to their daily lives or to search for information or seek guidance. Whether people can live happily, with dignity, and fulfilling lives in this world depends on how quickly and conveniently they can access knowledge about life.
The Compendium of Health and Longevity was born precisely to meet people's feelings, interests, hobbies, pursuits, and needs. As science advances and society progresses, with the wave of aging sweeping the world and humanity entering an era of health and longevity, books, knowledge, remedies, and information about fitness and longevity are available everywhere—on the book market, modern networks, and through radio waves. However, most of them are simplistic, narrow, repetitive, and lack depth, with too many commonplaces and too few refined works.
This book, on the other hand, caters to people of all social strata, professions, and age groups. It is written in plain and easy-to-understand language, making it highly accessible. We have compiled this book to provide readers with ample and rich popular science knowledge about health, allowing them to use it as needed in their daily lives, for reference, consultation, and implementation.
In short, this is a book with a fresh concept, precise topic selection, rich content, and strong practicality.
With this book, you have a buffet of spiritual sustenance; with this book, you have a library of fitness and longevity; with this book, you can enjoy it yourself, gift it to the elderly, leave it for the younger generation, or give it to friends and relatives. You can also present it as a premium gift for leaders and guests, and we believe they will love it as much as you do, cherishing it with great care.
