At one time, the discussion on this issue even rose to the dialectic between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. The main reason is that the theory of health preservation mostly conforms to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
For example, when it comes to health care, what is the first impression that comes to mind? I think I usually take a health cup with Chinese wolfberry and jujube tea in it. My diet is mainly rice and flour, with vegetarian dishes and soup. Don't eat junk food, go to entertainment places, disco and stay up late on weekdays. Fitness, tai chi, square dance and so on.
So can these behaviors really strengthen the body? Can this regimen really reduce our illness? Can such continuous health care really prolong life and improve the quality of life?
I think the answer to these questions is undoubtedly "yes".
But if you ask me if these actions can prevent cancer and prevent it, I can only shake my head and say "I don't know".
Therefore, Mr. Mei's death cannot be simply attributed to the level of "keeping in good health", because Mr. Mei died of intestinal cancer. Cancer is the most difficult medical problem in current society, and we have no way to know the cause and probability of cancer cell mutation.
Just as we can't think that smoking and drinking are harmless to the human body just because Zhang Xueliang still lives to 100, we can't completely deny someone's living habits just because his life is not long, and we can't simply deny the uselessness of health preservation just because the "master of health preservation" died young.
