Let's take a closer look at this week's top stories.
1. Feeling Tired and Dizzy? It May Be Iron Deficiency
If you've recently been feeling fatigued, dizzy, or looking pale, nutritionists say it could be related to insufficient iron intake. Iron is essential for producing hemoglobin. Adult men are advised to consume about 10 mg daily, while women need around 15 mg.
Animal-based sources such as pig's blood, liver, and clams offer higher absorption rates. Plant-based sources like black sesame and red beans can be paired with vitamin C to enhance absorption. Avoid taking iron together with calcium, tea, or coffee, as they may reduce absorption.
2. Mobile Cybersecurity Risks When Traveling to China
With many people traveling to China for tourism or business, experts warn of potential mobile cybersecurity risks. It is recommended to use international roaming services from domestic telecom providers rather than switching to locally registered SIM cards.
Avoid public Wi-Fi and unknown USB charging ports. Always verify app sources and permission settings before downloading. If your phone has been out of your possession, back up important data and consider resetting the system upon returning home. Staying alert helps protect personal information while maintaining communication convenience.
3. Magong Named One of the World's Most Welcoming Cities
An international booking platform has announced its 2026 Traveler Review Awards, naming Magong in Penghu as one of the world's most welcoming cities.
The ranking is based on real traveler feedback, covering accommodation experiences and local interactions. In recent years, Penghu has promoted in-depth cultural tours and island experiences, from historic village walks to intertidal zone explorations, allowing visitors to experience its warm hospitality. With distinct seasonal scenery, Penghu continues to attract repeat visitors seeking slow travel.
4. Taiwan Tourism 100 Highlights Keep Spring Travel Momentum Strong
Although the Lunar New Year holiday has ended, travel enthusiasm remains high. The “Taiwan Tourism 100 Highlights” initiative connects mountain, coastal, and cultural attractions across the country, encouraging post-holiday trips.
From cherry blossom festivals and hot springs to forest retreats and historic districts, travelers have more flexible options to explore. Authorities recommend checking transportation and opening hours in advance and making use of services like Taiwan Tourist Shuttle and Taiwan PASS for a smoother journey.
5. Buying Medical Devices Online? Follow Three Safety Steps
More consumers are purchasing thermometers, medical masks, and other medical devices online. The Taiwan FDA reminds the public to follow three steps: check clearly, verify carefully, and use safely.
Before purchasing, confirm the product is legally approved for online sale. Verify that it has a valid medical device license number. After receiving the product, read instructions carefully and use it properly. Avoid buying from unknown sources to safeguard your family's health.
