Features: With the improvement of people's living standards, dietary structures have undergone significant changes. People's demands for food are no longer limited to simply filling their bellies but have shifted to how to rationally select foods to meet the body's various nutritional needs and achieve health. However, the reality is that due to the continuous changes in dietary structures, the incidence of diseases remains high and continues to rise. This is partly due to the increasing work and study pressures faced by modern people, and partly due to diet. As the saying goes, "Humans eat five grains and, who can avoid illness?" Many people eat hastily, grab fast food, consume instant noodles, or skip meals altogether, leading to unbalanced, irrational diets, which are all major causes of diseases in the body. It seems that diet plays a crucial role in maintaining health. Only by rationally combining various foods can the body obtain the necessary nutrients to meet its physiological needs. Therefore, a balanced diet with sufficient nutrition is essential for ensuring the body's growth, development, and longevity. This book explores how to maintain health through diet and discusses preventive methods for 20 common diseases from the perspective of using food to prevent illness. Food is a familiar friend to the common people, yet most know very little about it. Although food is extremely abundant today, many people often judge its quality based on personal preferences or price rather than whether it suits their physical condition, whether cooking methods are appropriate, or whether the nutritional balance on the table is reasonable. This book provides detailed explanations on these issues.
