FIGURE 1 Do plants also need healthy lifestyle, the
E(e)SEEDi—a virtual pill? As we already known, as a virtual pill, the
magic polypill– E(e)SEEDi includes the Essential 5
“environment-sleep-emotion-exercise-diet”, and it is applicable, as
long as it is human, as long as it is survival. However, whether plants
also need the Essential 5 or the E(e)SEEDi? This is an interesting
topic, which is worth studying, since it involves in whether plants also
need sleep and have emotions as human? Beyond question, plants also need
a suitable living environment and absorb nutrients like human diets.
Although most of plants have no external movement or exercise excluding
the power of the wind, their internal movement does not stop for a
moment. Herein, only when we understand and confirm that plants also
need sleep and have emotions as human, can we think that medicinal
plants also need healthy E(e)SEEDi lifestyle, so that we can improve
herb cultivation and growth.
As we know, current climate change (CC) has become the new normal in the
21th century. Unusual weather, such as typhoons, high temperatures or
heat waves, droughts, cold or freezing temperatures, blizzards and so
on, often happen unexpectedly. On the one hand, it is related to carbon
emissions from industrial and agricultural production; On the other
hand, it has to do with the greenhouse effect and global warming. CC not
only affects economic and social development as well as sustainable
growth, but also affects human health and accelerates the transmissions
and infectious-disease outbreaks (such as influenza A, tuberculosis, and
COVID-19) (Campbell, 2022). In addition, CC also seriously threatens
biodiversity and ecological balance.
In the past decades, the two giants, the United States (US) and China,
have conducted fruitful cooperation in the field of CC and achieved
remarkable results. For example, international climate agreement, carbon
neutrality and carbon peak, curbing emission action plan and other
agreements signed. However, due to the tension in the economic and trade
field, some of the relevant cooperation have been disturbed, and there
is still uncertainty in the future. The author thinks that the US and
China should continue maintaining a good cooperation in the field of CC
to effectively address the climate crisis and challenges. As reported,
“2022 will be the hottest year in the UK since the record, and the
duration of this year’s extreme heat is relatively long. Besides, the
temperature of every month is higher than the average temperature of the
whole year except December.”
