Throughout my journey of over three decades dedicated to martial arts, sports, and community development movements, I have always believed that health is not only the starting point but also the sustainable destination of every life journey. Therefore, when holding in my hand the book “Healthy Beauty from the Root” by Dr. Nguyen Thu Huong – a colleague, a sister who used to be the Sports Flower of Vietnam, I feel that this is not just a book, but a profound message to all of us in this era of fluctuations.

As a woman who has experienced the peak of fame, the storms of illness, and then found herself through a natural lifestyle, Dr. Nguyen Thu Huong not only shares her knowledge but also inspires a journey called SBody – a lifestyle of natural beauty and health. The book does not fall into the trend of “anti-aging” but teaches us how to accompany the natural laws, unlock biological and spiritual inner power to be young, healthy, and beautiful in a substantial and sustainable way.

What I appreciate about “Healthy Beauty from the Root” is not only the solid foundation of biological and physical sciences but also the practical and relatable experiences from the author herself and her community of students. They are entrepreneurs, mothers, and individuals who dared to step out of their comfort zones to choose a new way of living – living to love themselves, their bodies, and living to spread happiness.

I believe that in the post-pandemic context, when people crave a healthy, proactive, sustainable, and profound lifestyle, this book will be a compass for thousands and millions of readers seeking balance between personal life and career, between intellect and physique, and between science and natural instincts.
In this fluctuating era, more than ever, we value core values, from physical to mental aspects. And it is in these passionate pages that I find a resonance between martial arts and wellness, between the discipline of movement and self-love. It is a meeting point between science, will, and heart.

I am honored to introduce to the community of sports lovers, beauty admirers, and self-lovers – the book “Healthy Beauty from the Root” as a precious, practical, and humane gift in the journey of building a generation of healthy, autonomous, and happy citizens.
