_Like any other organism, human beings are not above the natural laws of
birth, growth, aging and death. However, efforts can be made to promote
growth, improve the physique, and delay the aging process so as to
prevent premature death. The key is proactive prevention and timely
treatment.According to material by Huang Di Nei Jing written as early
as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "A sage
cures a disease before it occurs and deals with a disorder before it
happens..." In other words, a healthy person should take measures to
prevent disease, and if one gets ill, he/she should get treatment as
soon as possible to thwart the development of the illness. A person who
is good at maintaining health often treats hidden damage that may lead
to disease and gets rid of all risk factors lurking inside and outside
the body.
