Today (15 May) marks the 31st International Day of Families at the United Nations. At the 2nd Family Health Orienteering Competition in Xuhui District held recently, 100 groups of families signed up for 17 check-in challenges set up along the Xuhui Riverside to learn health knowledge and experience healthy health preservation and exercise methods through these interesting activities.
At the booth of the "weight" management project set up in Longhua Hospital affiliated to the Municipal University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the citizens were attracted by this huge auricular acupoint diagram and came to experience it.
The contestants learned the mystery of the auricular acupuncture points by throwing sandbags, which was interesting and learned about the acupuncture points related to weight loss.
At the same time, the simulation teaching aids provided by the Municipal Chest Hospital and the Municipal Emergency Center taught many participating families how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the Heimlich maneuver, which is very beneficial for citizens to master these practical and "life-saving" skills.
It is reported that this year's Family Health Orienteering Competition was led by the Xuhui District Health Commission, and more than 10 municipal tertiary and district secondary medical institutions and related units in Xuhui District participated in the challenge.
