Features: In recent years, modern medicine has gradually recognized the irreplaceable role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM health preservation methods are considered the most effective ways to maintain physical health to date. Traditional health-preserving foods and TCM health-preserving diets have functions such as anti-fatigue, boosting the immune system, improving blood circulation, promoting metabolism, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, anti-atherosclerosis, and anti-aging. The author comes from a family with a heritage of TCM and has over 20 years of clinical experience in TCM. He has conducted extensive research on the widely used dietary therapy in TCM health preservation. For example, when discussing diarrhea, the book mentions that edible wild greens like purslane can be used for dietary treatment. The author once used purslane to treat dysentery in a military unit with an annual incidence rate of 90% in previous years. Simply requiring the unit members to drink a bowl of purslane soup after meals each day resulted in the dysentery rate dropping to less than 1% that year. In this book, the author selects dietary materials that are easily accessible and natural remedies. He provides 50 dietary recipes for common conditions, including colds, insomnia, fatigue, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, diabetes, and even embarrassing issues like bad breath, constipation, and hemorrhoids. Ordinary ingredients, when cleverly combined and prepared, can produce extraordinary effects when consumed regularly.
