BISS Tour
For three days, SEIMC hosted field tours and health talks for the students from the British International School Shanghai. The students were shown all the facilities the hospital has to offer, even experiencing the operation of inpatient beds. They raised many excellent questions during the lecture on healthy eating given by Dr Palta and Dr Jiang. We were impressed by the obvious intelligence and eagerness expressed by the children, and were glad to know that they would only opt for healthy food in the future!

Had Too Much to Drink? |
|
|
With all the constant festivities and goings-on in Shanghai, it's hard to live in moderation. The next time you're out on the town though, just keep a few sobering facts in mind:
|
|
|
|
Drinking too much alcohol can cause dependency, damage of internal organs and could impair mental health.
|
|
Heavy drinkers may not feel intoxicated because of a higher tolerance to alcohol. If a person has developed higher tolerance to alcohol, they can no longer trust their body's signals telling them when they have been drinking too much.
|
|
Many experts recommend that most people should have no more than two to three alcoholic drinks on any given day, with at least two drink-free days a week.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
