--------------- Medicine is a combination of science and art --------------- Sometimes, people simply regard medicine as a field similar to mathematical addition and subtraction, just like symptom A plus symptom B must equal disease C.In a way, the body is indeed a logical machine factory that works day in and day out according to the same rules.Although researchers had expected that different bodies would work differently, workers in this factory would sometimes stop work, or try to do something different, or even cause trouble, messing up the entire assembly line.We don't always know why these problems arise, or understand what they mean.This is why so many researchers dedicate their lives to exploring the activities of human and animal cells, and to better understand the mysteries of the human body.Scientific researchers have learned a lot about the body, and we hope to pass on some of the most important parts of this knowledge to you.Medical research is a complex evidence-based process that helps us move beyond misconceptions and embrace advice that is based on solid scientific evidence.This is useful for many treatment and prevention options.For some other medicines that have not been fully researched, but we have enough common sense and previous research as the basis, we can also tell you, and let you provide it to your family and friends.Finally, we will focus on the relevant important conditions of the body's organs in the aging process, and on the conditions that are somewhat completely preventable.Please don't expect us to cover all conditions, we will only focus on those that are medically proven to be preventable.

--------------- Food is Fuel: Personal Dietary Recommendations --------------- We all know what happens if a wire falls outside your home.The voltage can get so low that there isn't enough power to power your toaster, TV or hair dryer.Just as electricity changes many things in your life, recipes change your life.External factors can change the internal workings of the body.What you feed your body, how much and how often, affects how you feel and how you live.Of course, there are many reasons for you to eat, such as you're bored, you went to a party, or your kids left 17 french fries on their plate, etc.The ultimate goal of eating is to fuel the body. These fuels not only keep you lean, energetic and strong, but also provide food and nutrients to the various organs of the body to keep the entire internal infrastructure of the body functioning properly.You can't understand the importance of food if you don't understand how your body digests food and how its internal structures work.Once you understand what certain foods do, you'll understand that consuming them will make you feel good and even help you lose weight while eating them.A major part of this book is about the role food plays in the survival and physiological processes of different organs in the body, so we have equipped you with "Personal Dietary Recommendations" in Chapter 12.We'll provide you with a 10-day, 30-recipe meal plan that shows you the way to eat designed for optimal health.In essence, this is not a calorie-restricted weight loss diet, although it has the added effect of making you lose weight.In each chapter, we provide you with the nutrients that are most beneficial for the body parts covered in the chapter, and the foods rich in them, so that you can tailor your meal plan to your health needs.The biggest difference between the recipe we offer you and many others is that this recipe is delicious and easy to make.It has no preparatory stage, no calculation and weighing, and no need to keep it all the time.What we want to emphasize is that you can change the foods you eat according to changes in your body and changes in how you feel.This eating plan focuses on foods like healthy fats, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, protein, and other essentials.With these delicious meals, you'll give your organs the nutrients they need to function better, prevent disease progression, and keep your body healthy.When it comes to how the nutrients that are eaten into the mouth are digested and absorbed in the body, there are two important things to consider.In order for you to understand what nutrition is all about, you need to know a little about metabolism and the way your body digests food for energy.Most dieters definitely don't eat enough food and slow down the metabolic process as a result.As a result, they enter a state of "false hunger," in which their body burns calories at a slower rate because the body senses that it needs to conserve calories.That's why exercise is more important.Physical activity helps keep your metabolism going faster because exercise burns fat as your body allows it.So you have to exercise to keep your body from getting overwhelmed and going into a starvation state.In general, exercising and eating healthy are the lifestyles advocated by Personal Dietary Recommendations. 
