Chapter 1 Your body, your home
The first section? A cover figure with perfect figure will make magazines sell well, the tattoo on his body can attract curious eyes, and if you are well trained, it can also help you win a sports champion (and a huge advertising contract). Celebrities' bodies will be monitored by "paparazzi", and candid photos will be published in tabloids or teased by late-night talk show hosts. The advertisement promises to get a more beautiful figure ("You can lose 30 kilograms of fat by using this brand-new navel cream!" )。 Now, even people with physical defects have begun to play the leading role in some popular cultural ways (such as plastic surgery reality show).

There is no doubt that the whole United States is using its graceful figure to make a lot of money, because it not only stimulates the secretion of hormones, but also stimulates economic growth. We all agree that the human body has appreciation value, because it has beautiful curves and corners, and it can also make the ratings of TV channels soar. But perhaps this obsession with appearance masks the importance of understanding the internal structure of the body. We don't know what is rushing, stirring and jumping in the body, because many people have formed a view that the human body structure is very simple, even more obvious than scissors. So we want to take a step back and look deeper-that is, to see places that only surgeons, MRI machines or tapeworms in the body can see clearly-that is, the internal structure of the body.

Why is this? It is precisely because everything in your body is running that you can see, run, smell and make love crazily on the beach, and you can feed your children and make dinosaurs with assembled toys. It allows you to surf, solve geometry problems, tie your shoelaces and hum "Don't talk" songs, so that you can accomplish countless different things every day. Your body gives you life, and your body constitutes the content of life.

But even if you know many functions of the body, you may not really know how they work. More importantly, you may not know how to make your body stronger, healthier and younger.

Perhaps it is because complicated medical problems and scientific terms confuse our minds. Just like a car speeding on the interstate, road signs, numbers and warnings flash across our minds, so that we hardly have time to pay attention to them, let alone understand their meaning. The consequence of this flood of information is that it is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack to find out important information about health. However, to find out which information elements are suitable for our life, we must dig in the information pile and spend a lot of time. Besides, you need a pair of waterproof boots to protect yourself from the spam there. Having such a pair of waterproof boots is very important for your health and life. With this book, we have boots, and we can step on them and pick out the information elements you need.

So that you can live a healthier life.

Only in this way can you become an expert in understanding your body.

In order to achieve the above two points, we want you to regard your body as a home, your home. If we start to think about the similarities between your body and your home, we will realize that they are very similar, even more like twins. Your house, like your body, is an important investment. They all provide shelter like priceless personal property, and they are all places you want to do your best to protect. This is just a rough analysis. However, if we compare them more deeply (we will compare them through the whole book), you can better understand their relationship: bones support houses like wood and protect the internal structure of "home"; Eyes are like windows; The lungs are like ventilation tubes; The brain is like a fuse box; The intestine is like a pipe system; The mouth is like a food processor; The heart is like a water supply hub; Hair is like a lawn (only some of us have more grass on our heads than others); Fat is like useless things stored in the attic, and your lover is always nagging you to throw them away. If you can ignore that there is no house number on your forehead, there are too many similarities between the two. In fact, we believe that you can fully understand the functions of various parts of your body by thinking about the functions of the house.

Well, this is actually the original intention of this book: to know your body, so that you can make changes to your body and maintain, modify and strengthen it. At the beginning of each chapter, we will start with the physiological analysis of the main organs of the body. In order to achieve the effect, we will take you deep into the body and show you how the organs of the body work and interact. We won't tell you as a doctor, but we won't instill you as a fourth-grade pupil. We won't simplify science, but we will make the problem easy to understand. Then, we will tell you how to make your body organs work better, so that you can prevent diseases and have a younger and healthier life. We will also explain to you how the disease started, how it affects the body, and how we should resist and overcome it, so as not to affect your quality of life or even threaten your life.

Then use your house as an analogy. Just like the maintenance and renovation work you do at home, we want you to understand the basic maintenance and repair problems of your body in the same way. If you have some common sense of repairing pipes, you don't have to ask the plumber first. You will try the piston, open the lid of the toilet tank, play with the floating ball, and try to solve the problem yourself. If you find a fly in the kitchen, you won't go to the fly exterminator. The light bulb has burst, so don't go to an electrician. You must take care of everything in your home and control its rapid aging. Because you know, if the facilities in the house are so bad that they have to be completely renovated to ensure their normal operation, then you will pay a great price; The cost of preventing problems and dealing with some minor problems in time is relatively much smaller.

Finally, we hope that you will be kind to your body, stay comfortable, make you confident in the basic maintenance of your body, avoid doing things that cause excessive wear and tear on your body, and do more things that are effective for your health for a long time.

In order to realize our original intention, we will explain to you the following phenomena, such as how arteries are blocked; Why don't you remember where you put the key? How can I have a more satisfying sex life? How to exercise the heart and bones; Why can immune cells resist some diseases but not others, and what can be found in the intestines (I told you we have waterproof boots, so we are not afraid of getting dirty). We will explore your whole body so that you can understand how it works and how to make your body work better.

We hope that when you read this book. You can learn a lot, smile and discover things you can change in your life, so that you can completely control your health. Before we begin, we think it is important to understand some main principles and objectives of this book. We want to sum up some of the most important things about health, and hope you will keep excellent health. This is what we want to convey to you through this whole body trip.
