Features: With the development of the times, the issue of population aging is becoming increasingly severe. The physical functions and other aspects of the elderly are in a declining stage, characterized by the natural decline of physiological functions such as the viscera, qi and blood, and spirit, as well as a reduced stability in the body's regulation of yin-yang balance. If exposed to adverse environmental factors or other stimulating influences, it is easy to trigger many diseases. At this time, the elderly's bodies are no longer as robust as they were in their youth. On the contrary, their resistance to diseases is greatly weakened. If they do not protect and regulate themselves properly, it may lead to various diseases, causing many inconveniences in their future lives and even resulting in death. This book is dedicated to the elderly and their families, providing them with methods for self-care and family health in daily life; understanding the necessary auxiliary examinations and routine treatment measures for common elderly diseases. It enables the elderly to learn about their own diseases, enter the hospital with clarity, undergo examinations with peace of mind, actively seek treatment, and maintain a joyful and preventive mindset.
