- SELF-CARE|SELF-CARESkin Cleansing the Right Way: Avoid Over-cleansingLike bonsai, skincare cleansing requires "meticulousness" and "protection of barrier." Over-cleansing strips this natural film — and can leave oily skin oilier or dry skin flakier. Wash your face twice a day, shower every 2-3 days in winter (daily if sweaty in summer), keep showers under 15 minutes; and use products with gentle pH interference while concentrating on frequently oily areas such as T-zone & underarms. Just warm water is enough for intimate parts.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREThe Science of Walking: Five Key Health Benefits of Walking CorrectlyWalking acts as a "health key" — every 1,000 daily steps taken lowers the risk of abnormal blood glucose by 13%. Over time, this is reflected in approximately ~0.05 kg of weight loss every week (~5 kg per year) and also decreased blood pressure, increased bone strength, better cognition function. The trick is achieving three parameters: step count, pace and posture — things read out from fitness dashboards that modulate your metabolic rhythms to counter diabetes, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREThe Science of Walking: Speed & StanceWalking serves as a "movement code calibrator" for your body. Keeping up the pace at 100 steps/minute engages the body's "engine RPM"; An older adult aligning their pace with effective heart rate zones. Keep your back straight like a flagpole, and leverage the body's natural shock absorbers with a heel-to-toe walking pattern. Slightly tightening the core muscles provides natural damping, morphing into dynamic joint armour. This means taking wrong steps will become 'bone wear interest' over the course of —700 million lifetime steps. Stretching regularly lubricates muscle chains.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREFootwear and Health: Picking the Proper ShoesChoosing the right shoes is like building a movable protective mechanism for feet: Allow toes some leeway in the toe box like an "airbag", The Upper Supports—analogous to skeletal armour preventing ankle sprains — are provided as follows, Heel cushion layer, and memory foam Insole have two stages of shock absorption; Forefoot sole bends by adopting tire pattern tu design offering precise terrain selection,—Walkers should choose raised treads for mountainous terrain to increase grip; beware over-flexibility of urban flats is a myth. Place the shoe on a flat surface to test it, and see if the forefoot curvature falls below that arch line which will "unlock buffering code for ground reaction forces" in walking.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREHow to Pick Cervical Spine Support ToolsThere are four natural curves in the spine which provide an inherent shock-absorbing system. Cervical spine health must use "invisible corrector" tools that lift from the front and support at the back: Keeping screens just below eye level while working — such as by placing a phone tilted at 30 degree angle — supports preserving the 15° natural anterior curve of cervical spine. Using materials, like latex or buckwheat husk, that can be molded so the vertebrae align with each other as precisely meshing gears will turn daily tools into cervical disorder-preventing "posture calibrators".
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREHow to Select Ergonomic Chairs for Lumbar Spine ProtectionLong-term sitting lowers lumbar spine protection is like performing a dynamic balancing act; high-quality ergonomic chairs have to achieve the "golden triangle," suitable for height and a backrest following your lumbar so you’re always in good posture — something between sofa & bed. Choosing a smart mattress, in turn, is like executing a "pressure tester" — ideally during trial lying 3–6 cm becomes sinkage to determine firmness. Because the spine naturally elongates at night, costly mattresses are unnecessary: spinal health depends more on switching postures daily than expensive equipment.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREHow Much Vitamin E is Necessary and Ways to Supplement It?Vitamin E naturally occurs in different cooking oils such as sunflower seed oil and wheat germ oil, covering antioxidant defence in tandem with nuts. While it prevents aging and supports vascular health, excessive supplementation can pose cancerous and cardiovascular risks like a tightrope — balanced dietary intake within health limits. Keep this "beauty key" moving safely from the pan to the jar of nuts.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREHealth Check: Weekly Average Step Count and DistributionCalcium acts as a "precision scaffolding" in our body, requiring to drink 300–500ml milk plus greens and beans every day. While 95% of people need to fill the dietary gap by using calcium supplements: inorganic (carbonate) — for strong stomachs, organic (citrate) — for weak stomachs. Take 300–500 mg daily with the "transporter" vitamin D to aid absorption. Special populations — vegetarians/zinc, drinkers/magnesium, anemia or pregnancy — specifically engineered protocols equivalent to make up the health shortfall. According to the American Heart Association, calcium supplements are safe for the heart at recommended doses.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREHow to Protect Your Family from Infectious Outbreaks in Fall and Winter?COVID-19 lockdowns put immune systems on a global "pause". The Lancet reported that children weren't exposed to viruses in 99.5% of cases, accumulating an 'immune debt' — essentially rusting and neglected shields becoming ineffective. A study conducted in Soochow University reveals that antibody levels among 1–4-year-olds will have a cliff-like drop by 2023. When infections returned, the cost of immune systems "cramming missed lessons" was retaliatory immune storms; half-empty schools and overstretched pediatric units.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREThe difference between family health management and disease managementMany people think that health management is to focus on the markers on the physical examination report, and everything will be fine if the indicators are normal. But the reality tells us: that individuals with normal test results may also experience sudden myocardial infarction or stroke; some people with abnormal markers may remain stable long-term. Behind this lies a misunderstanding of health — health is not just about not being sick, but about being physically, mentally, and socially fit to meet the demands of life. Family health management is completely different from treating illnesses — it is not about waiting for problems to arise before addressing them, but about proactively identifying potential risks and adjusting diet, exercise, work, and rest so that the physical and mental state of the whole family is always aligned with life goals. Truly good health is a balanced state of living a comfortable, high-quality life.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREGood Habits for Good Health: Consistent Small Actions and the Correct Understanding of HealthReal change requires the wisdom of ant-like persistence: breaking down big goals into effortless micro-actions. Drinking less than half a spoonful of milk tea a day and walking for only 12 minutes are the science-backed adjustments that can carve out a new program in the nervous system. The counter-example of a friend's failed diet proves that - 1% deviation in behavior*365 days = uncontrolled explosion. When your ‘eat less’ is accurate to the nutritional balance, and your ‘exercise plan’ is adapted to your body's physical limits, your body will enter autopilot mode after three months. Just as bamboo spends three years establishing roots before rapid growth, the qualitative change in health is hidden in those tiny quantitative changes that are calibrated by science.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CARESleep: What Are the Minimum and Maximum Requirements?How well do you sleep every day? Sleep is important, you know that. But in addition to sleep, you have a lot of important things every day, exercise, meals, hydration, work, childcare, mental wellbeing, gaming, and presentations. Our first sacrifice is often sleep. But in the doctor's opinion, the most important of these things, the most can not be sacrificed, is sleep. You may have heard that "life is in motion", and also know that "water is life's essence", why are these not as important as sleep?
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREWhat factors trigger anti-aging repair mechanisms?If you want to slow down the aging process, you may want to try letting your body "suffer" appropriately! Cold environments stimulate the body's unique anti-aging genes, while saunas, although the mechanism is unknown, have been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk. The most controllable method is exercise: the short-term hypoxia brought about by medium to high-intensity workouts triggers cellular repair systems throughout the body. In addition, the scientifically proven light fasting method is more direct: eat all your food within 8 hours a day, control your calorie intake, and practice it one day a week. These "adversity stimuli" remind cells not to remain inactive and actively repair themselves. Aging is not inevitable; scientific intervention can press the reset button.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREAntiviral Medications: Components and Efficacy in Treating Colds and FluAntivirals are targeted treatments for colds and flu, which are especially critical for the elderly; children; and patients with chronic illnesses. Their use within 48 hours of diagnosis (e.g., oseltamivir) reduces the mortality rate of influenza by 52%. While proprietary Chinese medicines need to identify wind-cold or wind-heat—wind-cold resembles the chilly winds of winter and requires exterior-warming and diaphoretic formulas; wind-heat, like sweltering summer heat, is suited to heat-clearing and detoxifying with Yinqiao Jiedu Tablets. Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses and may disrupt gut microbiota. So don't touch them unless you are diagnosed with a bacterial infection.
- SELF-CARE|SELF-CAREHow to supplement probiotics to improve gut microbiota?Most of the probiotics in yogurt are destroyed by stomach acid; fermented foods are beneficial but too salty. A truly effective supplementation requires the use of lyophilized powder with microencapsulation technology, identification of the strain code, and probiotics as ‘fuel’ - suitable for people under stress and children with diarrhea and constipation.
