Glossary
Health writing often becomes vague because it relies on loose words like “healthy,” “stress,” or “metabolism” without defining them. This glossary collects the small concepts that make the rest of the site easier to read with precision.
很多健康内容之所以会显得空泛，是因为它大量使用“健康”“压力”“代谢”这类宽泛词汇，却很少把它们解释清楚。这个术语页把那些关键的小概念集中起来，帮助读者更准确地理解站内其他页面。

Editorial purpose
