BEIJING, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Why do most Chinese people prefer warm water over ice water?
The answer lies in the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM): preventative treatment. Preventative treatment is a core belief of TCM, which lays great emphasis on prevention before a disease arises, guarding against pathological changes when falling sick, and protecting recovering patients from relapse. TCM believes that lifestyle is closely related to health, so it advocates that health should be preserved in daily life.
