Zhang Shuming, general manager of Yatelanda

Whenever you meet Zhang Shuming, the general manager of Yatelanda inside of the multifunctional SPA resort, he always has a fresh energetic look with keen eyes and a calm smile. Newly elected as one of the top 10 Taiwan Businessmen Leading Xiamen's Fashions, he expressed his relief and proudly realized that his adventurous investment and strenuous efforts have been rewarded in such an honorable way.

Having been in Xiamen for seven and a half years, Zhang habitually claims himself as a Taiwanese growing up in Xiamen. He felt very happy that more and more Xiamen people have gradually become faithful fans of Yatelanda's compound hydrotherapeutic ways to preserve health. He still remembers clearly that at the opening ceremony in last November , there were often both funny and annoying inquiries such as "Are you just a super aquarium?" "Have you got some ornamental goldfishes to sell?"



Half a year passed. Now it's a very common activity for many Xiamen families on the weekend: three generations leisurely relaxing or playing in the big SPA pool, receiving a soft massage and tranquilization treatment through sorts of current nozzles. " It enables people to make full use of their limited time ‘squeezed' from the busy modern life and enjoy the utmost items", said Zhang recalling his original goals. Everyday from 6 in the early morning to 11 in the late evening, you can now find a suitable way to get rid of your exhaustion by simply lying down on the vibrating massage bed, going to the Three Warmths' pools and sauna rooms, or refreshing yourself by following certain training courses like Yoga, ballet in water and Taekwondo taught by professionals. "I intend to open our SPA around the clock so it will offer people the most convenience."According to Zhang's analysis, there is still capacity for Yatelanda's further development despite the potential competitors, given the inspiring situation in Xiamen's SPA market. By the end of this year, a second site for Yatelanda will be ready for Xiamen residents, aiming to please the high-end consumers even more.



SPA, different from other sports, is safer and easier to get into and keep up. It's especially appropriate for the elderly and kids, who are vulnerable to all kinds of injuries. The joints or parts of our body that tire easily such as cervical vertebra, lumbar vertebra, shoulders, backbone, and knees are protected against bumps or hits in the water; insomnia or headaches can also be greatly mitigated by the water's caressing waves.

With the coming of summer vacation, Yatelanda will provide many new surprise package programs along with its existing Close-to-Kids Entertainment, Sweet Family Card, Company Express etc. We expect Zhang and his Yatelanda to bring us more

in the way of fashionable health this summer.

Common painkillers boost heart attack risks
常规止痛药易引发心脏病
A new study provides more evidence that painkillers, such as Ibuprofen and other commonly used ones for treating inflammation, even some available over the counter, may increase the risk of a heart attack. The study applies to long-term use of the drugs, not occasional use to treat headaches.



Women's ability to reach orgasm may be genetic
性高潮能力可能为遗传
British scientists have discovered that a woman's genes might affect her ability to have an orgasm, which will help scientists find better treatments for sexual problems. Specialists say the findings don't mean women who inherit an unfortunate gene package are doomed. It just means that more work, or patience, is required.



Black tea may prevent oral cancer
红茶可防口腔癌
Indian scientists found chemicals in black tea, called polyphenol, reverse cancer-causing changes of DNA of cells lining the mouth. Patients who have drunk black tea three times a day for one year show remarkable changes in white spots caused by Leukoplakia, a common potentially pre-cancerous disease and some spots even completely disappeared.



Raisins may help you keep cavities away
葡萄干可助消除龋洞
Raisins contain compounds that might fight bacteria causing cavities and gum disease, implicating that eating raisins may not be so detrimental to dental health after all. Raisins (due to their high sugar concentration) are among the most cavity-promoting foods. It's not clear yet how many raisins people would need to eat to achieve an antibacterial effect.
