The "soups" you drink every day may be the culprit for soaring cholesterol levels! Doctors reveal hidden dangers: one bowl is equivalent to the calories of two bowls of white rice.

26 March, 2025

A study in 2020 showed that drinking soup can reduce obesity risk by 15%, as soup is low in calories and high in water content, which can increase feelings of fullness. However, Taiwanese people often drink soup after they are already full, which may lead to excessive calorie intake, especially from high-fat soups like sesame oil chicken soup, increasing the risk of cholesterol and high blood lipids. Therefore, it is recommended to practice moderation while enjoying delicious food and to prioritize lean meats and high-fiber vegetables to lower cholesterol.

Be careful with "these soups" that you drink every day! Cholesterol levels may spike, as doctors reveal hidden dangers: one bowl of soup is equivalent to two bowls of white rice!

26 March, 2025

A study from 2020 showed that drinking soup can reduce the risk of obesity by 15%, mainly because soup is low in calories and high in water content, which enhances the feeling of fullness. However, Taiwanese people tend to drink soup after meals, which may lead to excessive calorie intake, especially from some greasy soups, which can increase cholesterol and saturated fat.

Taiwanese students have one of the highest myopia rates in the world. Eye care should start from daily habits. Nutritionists recommend four types of eye-protecting ingredients.

26 March, 2025

The vision problems of children in Taiwan are becoming increasingly serious, especially the myopia rate among elementary school students, which is rising year by year and is concerning. The main reasons include excessive use of electronic devices and a lack of outdoor activities; spending long hours staring at screens increases eye fatigue and the risk of myopia. Research indicates that at least two hours of outdoor activity each day can effectively reduce the likelihood of myopia, but urbanization has reduced the opportunities for children to connect with nature. To address this issue, the government, schools, and families need to work together. Educational institutions should adjust curricula and schedules to increase outdoor activity time. Parents should limit their children's screen time, encourage participation in sports, and regularly check their vision. Additionally, the daily diet should include nutrients beneficial for vision, such as carotenoids, vitamin A, and lutein. Nutritionists recommend several eye-protecting foods, including dark-colored vegetables, fruits, egg yolks, and nuts, and provide simple eye-care drink recipes to help parents easily protect their children's vision.

Peritoneal dialysis becomes a new choice for kidney patients? Innovative surgery helps patients easily perform dialysis at home.

26 March, 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged countries to promote peritoneal dialysis, but only 8% of patients in Taiwan choose this treatment. Can the improved catheter implantation surgery at Taipei Veterans General Hospital serve as an incentive to increase the adoption rate of peritoneal dialysis? 46-year-old Lin Hsin-Yi is skilled in operating peritoneal dialysis, a method that has been developed for many years and can be done at home. However, due to the impact of the pandemic, peritoneal dialysis has revealed advantages in reducing hospitalization and infection risks compared to hemodialysis. The National Health Insurance Administration of Taiwan plans to allocate 400 million Taiwan dollars in 2025 to encourage medical institutions to promote peritoneal dialysis, helping more patients understand its benefits. The improved surgery shortens the operation and healing time, allowing patients to utilize peritoneal dialysis earlier and increasing flexibility and convenience in their choices. Although peritoneal dialysis is simple and easy to perform, many patients still choose hemodialysis due to fear and misunderstandings. Experts emphasize the need to strengthen awareness and education about peritoneal dialysis.

Should the bathroom door be open or closed after taking a shower? Experts share 5 tips to help you avoid mold growth!

26 March, 2025

Taiwan's climate is humid, and bathrooms are prone to mold growth, even leading to the appearance of "mushrooms." After showering, there are differing opinions on whether to keep the bathroom door open or closed. If the bathroom has an exhaust system, it is recommended to close the door and turn on the exhaust fan to prevent moisture from spreading and to enhance drying effects. If there is no exhaust system, opening the door and windows can help promote ventilation. To prevent mold growth, it is also important to regularly clean, keep towels dry, and use dehumidifiers among other measures.

Do you think it's just fatty liver? Surprisingly, 62% of cancer patients actually have fatty pancreas! Doctors remind that 6 types of people are at the highest risk.

26 March, 2025

Fatty pancreas is a less commonly known disease that is closely associated with diabetes and pancreatic cancer. Dr. Lin Hsiang-Hung pointed out that the incidence of fatty pancreas reaches 16%, and it is more likely to lead to insulin secretion problems than fatty liver, increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Research shows that 62% of pancreatic cancer patients have fatty pancreas, as excessive fat cells can cause inflammation, increasing cancer risk. High-risk groups, including those with metabolic syndrome and long-term alcohol users, need to be particularly vigilant. Additionally, lifestyle adjustments, such as reducing sugar intake, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol, are especially important for protecting pancreatic health.

Do you think it's just fatty liver? 62% of cancer patients actually have fatty pancreas! Doctors name 6 high-risk groups.

26 March, 2025

Many people have heard of fatty liver, but do you know about fatty pancreas? Medical research indicates that fatty pancreas is closely linked to diabetes and pancreatic cancer, especially in certain high-risk groups where its incidence may be higher than expected. Fatty pancreas refers to the accumulation of fat in the pancreas, which is related to diet and lack of exercise. Dr. Lin Xianghong reminds us that in Taiwan, about 1 in 3 fatty liver patients also have fatty pancreas, with a prevalence rate of 16%. Long-term fat accumulation may lead to pancreatitis, and only by adopting a healthy lifestyle early on, adjusting diet and exercise, can we effectively reduce the risk. Avoiding alcohol is also an important step in maintaining pancreatic health.
