請回想一下我們從小到大的教育成長過程中有學習到多少的醫療保健知識,我們的生命中擁有多少的醫療保健知識。「幾乎是零」相信是不少人的答案。因此,不少人的醫療保健知識是來自道聽塗說、報章雜誌、傳播媒體。然而,這些管道所傳播的,不乏是一些缺乏科學研究根據、不合乎現時的醫療保健知識。所以本演講將授權(empower)人們擁有「有科學研究根據的」(science-based)醫療保健知識,來從事個人、家庭或社區的健康管理。
除了旅居西方國家的人外,尤其台灣現在是世界貿易組織(WTO)
的一員,因此,令人消費得起的西式飲食和生活形態將更加大舉入侵,使得台灣人民的飲食和生活形態將更加趨向西化。這將會衝擊到台灣人民的健康,因為西式飲食和生活形態較容易引起一些健康問題,例如心血管疾病、糖尿病和某些癌症等。所以,擁有有科學研究根據的醫療保健知識,來從事健康管理是更加迫切與重要。
本演講將使任何對健康有興趣的人或不認識健康的重要性的人受益。

Please recall how much health care knowledge we have learned throughout our education and growth, and how much health care knowledge we possess in our life. "Almost zero" could be the answer for many people. As a result, many people learn their health care knowledge from hearsay, newspapers, magazines and media. However, health care knowledge from these channels may not be science-based or updated. This lecture, thus, will empower people to have "science-based" health care knowledge for
individual, household or community health management.
In addition to those who live in the Western countries, in particular, Taiwan is now a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Thus, it is expected that more affordable western food and lifestyle will surge into Taiwan. As a result, people's diet and lifestyle will incline to be more westernized, which will have impact on people's health, as western diet and lifestyle are more likely to increase the risk of health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, certain cancers, etc. Therefore, having science-based health care knowledge for
individual, household or community health management becomes more urgent and important.
This lecture will benefit anyone who is interested in health or who does not realize the importance of health.
