Experts, celebrities brainstorm family health at salon
On Monday, a Health Eaves Project salon on managing health issues of one's own family was held in Beijing, bringing together celebrities, experts, and opinion leaders from the fields of film, fashion, culture, design, health and medicine to be engaged with discussions on family health management from four dimensions: self-care, pet care, elderly care, and parenting.
The Health Eaves Project encourages the public to "pursue health as they would pursue wealth", becoming the "chief health officers", or "eaves of health" for their households.
The participants believe loving and taking good care of oneself is the prerequisite for managing family health. Moreover, when it comes to children, the elderly and pets, different management is needed based on their individual characteristics.
Actress Li Fei'er says that the current young generation, which has become the backbone of the family structure, has taken on the responsibility of being the "chief health officers" of their families. And "being prepared" means that they need to actively manage family health in a long-term and comprehensive manner, shifting from passively treating illness to proactively taking preventive measures.
Actress Tao Xinran adds that managing health within the family unit and promoting family health through good lifestyle is a lower-cost and more effective shortcut to good health.
