"

Moore also adds that "Chinese medicine is divided into two stages, the preventive phase and the acute phase. In the acute phase, urgent medicine is needed, which can manage the risks well and safely. At this time, even during isolation, herbal formulas can be taken to treat pneumonia.

"In the dietary world, processed and industrialized foods should be avoided, which the body has difficulty digesting and encourage inflammation of the body, such as dairy products, industrial oils and flours.

From strengthening the various body systems, such as the skeletal system that directly aids posture, the cardiovascular system is important for the normal functioning of the heart and various profiles such as cholesterol and disease prevention such as Diabetes and blood pressure. "
