Features: Without health, wisdom cannot be expressed, culture cannot be demonstrated, strength cannot be fought, and knowledge cannot be utilized. Life is joyful because of health and withers because of illness. With health, everything is possible. Health is the foundation of life, and health is the guarantee of everything. The poor will not give up health for money, but the rich will willingly give up money for health. Seek early treatment for illnesses and early prevention for those without illness. Combine prevention and treatment, with prevention being the priority—this is the key to maintaining health. We have learned some health knowledge in our daily lives, guiding our behavior. Pay attention to both physical and mental health, and strengthen exercise. In terms of diet, we should also follow a scientific approach, with balanced and reasonable meal planning. When illness occurs, maintain a scientific attitude, seek medical attention promptly, and be patient in managing chronic conditions. In this way, we can maintain a healthy body.
The World Health Organization once proposed the slogan: "Take responsibility for your own health." China's health policy is: "Prevention is primary, treatment is secondary," meaning prevention is more important than treatment. This book introduces us to self-prevention and self-diagnosis for 19 key diseases and 36 common diseases. While providing basic health knowledge and diagnostic and treatment information for common diseases, the book also emphasizes a particular concept: to a large extent, health and disease depend on the food we put into our mouths. "Misfortune often starts from the mouth, and disease enters through it." Improper diet, accumulated over time, can endanger our bodies. We cannot change our birth or our work environment and life pressures, but we can choose healthy foods and maintain a balanced and reasonable diet. Food is like medicine but different from medicine—it is kinder to us. It has no side effects like medicine, allowing us to remain disease-free and free from suffering in a natural state.
