Let's take a closer look at this week's key news.
[1] Post-meal drowsiness linked to blood sugar fluctuations
Many people feel sleepy after meals due to rapid rises and drops in blood sugar. Nutritionists suggest adjusting eating order-starting with protein and vegetables, followed by carbohydrates-and choosing high-fiber foods such as brown rice or sweet potatoes. Light activity like walking or stretching for about 15 minutes after meals can help regulate blood sugar and reduce fatigue.
[2] Tax filing system upgraded with accessible web version
This year's income tax e-filing system has been enhanced with an accessible version, making it easier for visually impaired users, seniors, and people with disabilities. The update includes keyboard shortcuts, navigation markers, and improved screen reader compatibility. Error alerts have also been refined to guide users more clearly during the filing process.
[3] Hualien launches senior-friendly travel package
Hualien's tourism sector has introduced the “2026 Hualien 1+1 Senior Travel Package,” available for purchase until June 29, with stays valid through June 30. Targeting travelers aged 60 and above and multi-generational families, the package combines six hotels and offers flexible itineraries focused on relaxation, nature, and cultural experiences.
[4] Anti-fraud campaign goes viral with music collaboration
As scam tactics evolve, the Criminal Investigation Bureau has partnered with Whoscall to release an anti-fraud song. The campaign uses a catchy tune to promote the message: “Listen, hang up, and verify.” Authorities also remind that visually impaired individuals, seniors, and new immigrants are more vulnerable, urging the public to verify suspicious calls through official channels.
[5] Fort Zeelandia AR guide brings 17th-century Anping to life
Tainan's Cultural Affairs Bureau has launched an AR guide system around Fort Zeelandia. Visitors can use smartphones to view 17th-century streetscapes overlaid on present-day locations. The system covers 14 sites and includes 3D scenes and interactive elements, helping visitors better understand the area's historical development.
