First Aid Class for CIEE and The Child Academy
On the 20th Aug we gave a first aid class to students for a tourist company so that they could be prepared for any emergency situation in the future. The class was repeated the following week for the teachers at The Child Academy in Pudong where the emphasis was specifically on resuscitation of children and babies. The class was enjoyed by all and everyone had the chance to practice on the first aid dummy. The students should all be in safe hands! |

BISS, SCIS and YCIS Tour
This month we gave three tours for the new teachers at the international schools in Pudong: Yew Chung International School on the 7th Aug; Shanghai Community International School on the 12th Aug and British International School on the 21st Aug. This tour is always well worth giving for the newcomers since the emergency procedures in China are very different to those at home. These new teachers now know exactly what to do and where to go in case they, or their students, have any sort of emergency.

BISS Orientation Day
Two days were spent at the British International School meeting the new students and families on the 28th and 29th Aug. Most people were familiar with our services, so most of our time was spent talking to the ¡°newbies¡± in Shanghai. For most, SEIMC would be the first choice of hospital since we are the only 24hr foreign hospital in Pudong.

Five Surprising Reasons You're Gaining Weight
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You Might Be Gaining Weight Because of Lack of Sleep
The body functions best when well rested. When you don't get enough sleep, your body experiences physiological stress and, biochemically, you store fat more efficiently.
|
|
You May Be Gaining Weight Because of Stress
We live in a society that demands we do more, be more, and achieve more. Stress moves us forward and helps cope with life's demands, but it also affects our mood and emotions.
|
|
You May Be Gaining Weight Because of Medications
Some prescription drugs used to treat depression, mood disorders, seizures, migraines, blood pressure, and diabetes can cause weight gain.
|
|
You May Be Gaining Weight Because of a Medical Condition
Hypothyroidism is a common cause of weight gain. A deficiency of thyroid hormone can decrease metabolism, causing appetite loss and weight gain.
|
|
You May Be Gaining Weight Because of Menopause
Along with the natural slowing down of the metabolism and generally a decreased level in physical activity, weight gain is common when women hit middle age and the menopause. At the same time, hormonal changes can trigger hunger, depression, and poor sleep.

Acupuncture treats more than you think
Most people think acupuncture is only useful in treating pain, but in actual fact, acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine there is, dating back 5000 years in China. Chinese herbs and/or acupuncture can be used for treating all kinds of illnesses from a common cold to more serious ailments such as paralysis, cardiovascular and liver diseases.
Chinese medicine works on the basis that the body is made up of energy lines called meridians that flow all over the body. Each meridian corresponds to an organ within the body, and any problems along that meridian line will create a block which will manifest itself as a disease or pain in that organ or related to that organ. An acupuncturist can tell which organ the symptoms relate to, and can unblock the meridian by needling certain areas, or acupuncture points, on the body. A skilled Chinese medicine doctor will know the correct combination of acupuncture points to use in a particular treatment, which when used correctly, can help to increase the qi (or energy) circulation in the body, regulating and balancing the organs. When your organs are functioning properly there will be no disease or pain in the body, which is why Chinese Medicine can be used as a preventative method of medicine as well as curing disease. Each acupuncture treatment will help in strengthening your body, increasing your immunity and aiding your system to remain healthy throughout the year.
What should you expect from your treatment?
• Each treatment usually takes about 40 minutes.
• Needles are left in for about half an hour.
• Very fine needles are used, which feel like a tiny pin prick when they are first inserted. Once the needles are inserted, patients usually feel very relaxed and often fall asleep.
Dr. Zhang is a third generation Chinese Medicine Doctor at Shanghai East International Medical Center. Her clinic is on the 12 th floor.
