English and Chinese Prose of Bacon's On Health Preservation
There is a kind of wisdom beyond medical rules: a person's own observation, he found what is good, he found what is bad, is the best medicine to keep healthy.

There is an appropriate method of keeping in good health, which is beyond the reach of medical laws. A person's own observation is beneficial to him and harmful to his knowledge, which is the best health medicine.

But this is a safer conclusion. It doesn't suit me, so I won't go on; Than this; I don't think there is anything wrong with it, so I can use it. Because when you are young, the forces of nature can surpass many excessive behaviors, which a person owes when he is old. Understand the passage of time, don't want to do the same thing; Because age is irresistible.

However, when making a judgment, it is much safer to say "this is not suitable for my health, so I want to quit" than to say "this seems harmless to me, so I want to use it". Because at the end of the young age, the natural strength can tolerate many sexual behaviors, and these behaviors are equivalent to being recorded in the account, and will be paid back in old age. Pay attention to the growth of your age, and don't always want to do the same thing, because age is not despised.

Pay attention to sudden changes in any important aspect of the diet and adapt the rest to it if necessary. Because this is a secret, whether in nature or in state; It is safer to change many things than to change one thing. Check your habits, diet, sleep, exercise, clothing and so on; Try anything you think is harmful and stop it bit by bit; However, just as you didn't find any inconvenience caused by this change, you came back to this change: because it is difficult to distinguish what is generally considered good and healthy from what is particularly good and suitable for your own body.

You shouldn't suddenly change an important part of your diet. If you have to change it, you should also change other parts to match it properly. Because there is a secret in natural affairs and national affairs, that is, it is better to change many things than to change one thing. Reflect on your daily eating habits, sleeping habits, exercise habits, dressing habits, etc., and try to gradually quit the habits that you think are harmful, but the way should be like this. If you feel uncomfortable because of this change, you should go back to your original habits. Because it is not easy to distinguish between habits that are generally considered beneficial to health and habits that are beneficial to individuals and suitable for their own health.

When eating, sleeping and exercising, freedom of thought and happiness are one of the best lasting commandments. As for the passion and research of the mind; Avoid jealousy; Anxiety and fear; Inner anger; A delicate and tricky interrogation; Excessive happiness and excitement; Sadness is not conveyed.

Keeping calm and happy while eating, sleeping and exercising is one of the best secrets of longevity. As for your feelings and thoughts, you should avoid jealousy, anxiety, anger in your heart, mysterious research, excessive joy and hidden sadness.

Have hope; Laugh instead of being happy; All kinds of happiness, not excessive; Surprise, admiration, and therefore novelty; Enrich one's mind with brilliant things, such as history, fables and meditation on nature. If you take medicine completely when you are healthy, it will be too strange to your body when you need it. If you are too familiar with it, it won't have any special effect when the disease comes. In some seasons, I recommend some diets rather than frequent use of drugs unless it becomes a habit.

What should last forever is hope and happiness, not revelry; Change different fun, not embarrassing fun; Curiosity and admiration keep fresh interest; The same is true of knowledge that fills people's hearts with brilliant things, such as history, fables and natural studies. If you give up medicine completely when you are healthy, you will feel that medicine is too strange to your body when you need it. If you are too used to taking medicine on weekdays, the medicine will not work wonders if you get sick. I think it is better to change food according to the season than to take the bait often, unless taking medicine has become a habit.

Because these diets change the body more and bring less trouble to the body. Don't underestimate your new physical accident, but ask its advice when you are sick, mainly to respect your health; In terms of health, action.

Because those different foods can change the qi of the body without disturbing it. Any new symptoms in the body should not be underestimated, and people should be consulted.

For those who keep healthy, most less serious diseases can only be cured by diet and conditioning.

When you are sick, you should pay attention to your health. When you are healthy, you mainly pay attention to activities. Because most people who are used to working at ordinary times are not very serious diseases, they can be cured by eating less and recuperating more.

If Celsus was not a wise man, he would never say this like a doctor, because he gave a great commandment about health and persistence, that is: one should be different and exchange contradictions; But they tend to be more benign extremes: fasting and satiety are used, but not satiety; Look and sleep, but sleep; Sit and exercise, but exercise; Wait a minute.

Selsas teaches people how to keep healthy and live a long life. The most important thing is that one should practice all kinds of opposite habits, but between lightness and heaviness, one should pay more attention to the beneficial end. Practice on an empty stomach and full stomach, but it is best to eat more; Be vigilant and sleep, but it is best to sleep; Both sitting and exercise should be practiced, but it is better to focus on exercise; And so on.

Therefore, nature will be cherished, but teach the master. Some doctors are very likable and can cater to patients' emotions, because they have not put forward the real treatment of diseases; Others are so regular when they treat according to art, because they don't fully consider the patient's situation, choose a person with a moderate temper, or if you can't find a person with a moderate temper, combine either of them: don't forget not to call the person who is most familiar with your body, because his ability is the most famous.

If Celsus were not a doctor and a philosopher, he wouldn't have said such things as a doctor. As he said, natural constitution can nourish and strengthen. Some doctors are too indulgent to the patient's temper and can't get the effect of treatment quickly; Others act according to the theory of treating patients and saving lives, so they are cautious and pay insufficient attention to the facts of patients. When choosing a doctor, it is best to invite a gentle person; In other words, if a person does not have such temperament, then choose one of the two kinds of people and reconcile them. When you invite a doctor, of course, you should invite a famous doctor, and don't forget to invite the doctor who is most familiar with your physique.
