As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, families are indulging in zongzi, but these traditional treats can be high in calories and easily lead to weight gain. According to a nutritionist, there are differences in zongzi caloric content between the north and south regions, with the north's meat zongzi containing around 500 kcal and the south's about 400 kcal. To avoid gaining weight, it's recommended to limit zongzi consumption to one per day, eaten before noon, and engage in physical activities in the afternoon to aid digestion. Eating zongzi in a specific order—vegetables, soup, sticky rice, and meat—accompanied by plenty of greens rich in dietary fiber can help with digestion. The nutritionist also suggests consuming tea with catechins or coffee with chlorogenic acid to help regulate metabolism and reduce sodium-induced bloating from the zongzi's high sodium content.

As the rainy season approaches and indoors become more humid, Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) warns the public to pay attention to sockets and plugs at home. If there are signs of burnt or green rust, it is crucial to stop using them immediately to prevent potential fire hazards. The burnt situation in sockets or plugs may be caused by excessive electrical currents, leading to overheating and fire. Green rust is the result of the oxidation of metals in sockets/plugs due to moisture, decreasing the conducting area, increasing resistance, generating heat, and potentially causing 'accumulated dirt conduction' disasters. It is emphasized to regularly inspect sockets and plugs for deformities, discoloration, dust, or looseness, and seek professional assistance if needed, along with the proper cleaning procedures while ensuring the power is turned off and wearing insulating gloves.

On June 8, 2024, on Da Ai TV, Erren River, located at the border of Kaohsiung and Tainan, was once heavily polluted by the scrap metal smelting industry, earning it the nickname 'Taiwan's Black Dragon River.' Starting from the 1980s, efforts were made to clean up the river due to dioxin contamination and copper pollution causing even oysters at the estuary to have green shells. The cleanup began in 1999 with the demolition of illegal factories, and by 2002, both Tainan and Kaohsiung joined hands in the restoration process. Now, universities like Chang Jung Christian University and National Cheng Kung University have courses focusing on environmental issues and the history of Erren River, once called 'Taiwan's Black Dragon River.' Despite the visible improvements with lush greenery along its banks, remnants of pollution like stacked circuit boards indicate the river's troubled past. Scholars and students are studying the environmental impact left by the industrial waste, emphasizing the importance of understanding and cherishing the river's ecological health and history.
