Chinese Doctor Advises Women To Look At Muscular Men For Mood Boost, Internet Calls It "Eye Candy Therapy"
A Chinese doctor has sparked laughter online after suggesting that women who lack energy or suffer from blood deficiencies should look at muscular men to boost their mood and relieve stress. According to the South China Morning Post, the lighthearted advice comes from He Zhenye, a gynaecologist at Huazhong University of Science and Technology Xiehe Shenzhen Hospital. In a video going viral on Chinese social media, he publicly recommended that "women should look at muscular men more often to relieve stress".
According to SCMP, Dr He has over 133,000 followers on a popular Chinese platform, where he regularly shares professional insights on women's health and gynaecological care. His profile states that he specialises in the standardised diagnosis and treatment of common benign gynaecological conditions and gynaecological tumours.
In his recent video, Dr He explained that women with vital energy and blood deficiencies frequently experience low moods and high stress levels. So, to help regulate the physical and mental state of such women, he recommended using "visual pleasure" as a remedy.
His advice includes reducing emotional strain through "avoiding excessive romantic relationships" and increasing positive visual stimulation by "looking at more muscular men".
According to the outlet, Dr He explained that doing so can simulate dopamine production in the brain, which helps alleviate stress and lift a person's mood. "Avoid falling in love too often. Watch more muscular men instead," he said in the clip.
"When your qi (vital energy) and blood are deficient, you are often too lethargic, too tired to talk, and your skin may look dull. You might also experience dizziness and insomnia. That does not bring the right conditions for romance. However, watching muscular men makes things different. Seeing something beautiful activates the brain's reward system and releases dopamine, making us feel happier," Dr He said.
Further, he explained that several studies have shown visual pleasure can boost mood and reduce stress, especially for women struggling with poor sleep or fatigue from overwork. "So, ladies with qi and blood deficiency, scroll freely and enjoy. Relax your mind and restore your energy. For your health, indulge a little!" he said.
The gynaecologist has triggered laughter and supportive comments online with his unconventional advice. While some agreed with the doctor's unconventional advice, others suggested that images of muscular men may evoke vitality and strength, and provide a psychological boost.
"We need less emotional burnout and more eye candy! His suggestion should be part of every modern women's wellness guide!'" wrote one user. "This doctor gets it! Visual enjoyment plus emotional uplift equals 'eye candy therapy', I am all in," commented another.

China to make all hospitals offer epidurals to incentivise childbirth
Hong Kong: China said that by the end of this year all tertiary level hospitals must offer epidural anaesthesia during childbirth, a move it said would help promote a "friendly childbearing environment" for women. Tertiary hospitals - those with more than 500 beds, must provide epidural anaesthesia services by 2025 while secondary hospitals - those containing more than 100 beds - must provide the services by 2027, China's National Health Commission (NHC) said in a statement last week. Authorities are struggling to boost birth rates in the world's second largest economy after China's population fell for a third consecutive year in 2024 with experts warning the downturn will worsen in the coming years. Around 30% of pregnant women in China receive anaesthesia to relieve pain during childbirth, compared with more than 70% in some developed countries, the official China Daily said. The World Health Organization recommends epidurals for healthy pregnant women requesting pain relief and it is widely utilised in many countries around the world, including France, where around 82% of pregnant women opt to have one, and in the United States and Canada where more than 67% do. The move will "improve the comfort level and security of medical services" and "further enhance people's sense of happiness and promote a friendly childbearing environment," the NHC said. A growing number of provinces across China are also beginning to include childbirth anaesthesia costs as part of their medical insurance schemes to encourage more women to have children. High childcare costs as well as job uncertainty and a slowing economy have discouraged many young Chinese from getting married and starting a family. In June, health authorities in China's southwestern Sichuan province proposed to extend marriage leave up to 25 days and maternity leave up to 150 days, to help create a "fertility-friendly society."

China Expert Sounds Dire Alarm: ‘Something Worse Than Covid Is Coming – Are We Ready?'
New Delhi: A storm is brewing over Washington. And at the center of it is a fungus, not a virus this time, that has sent alarms ringing across U.S. national security Chinese nationals, who are scientists by profession, now face charges that read more like the script of a bioterror thriller than a court indictment. The couple, 33-year-old Yunqing Jian and 34-year-old Zunyong Liu, are accused of trying to sneak a dangerous fungus into the United States. But this is not mold on bread. This is Fusarium graminearum, a grain-killing pathogen known to destroy wheat, maize and barley. And it is not just about crops. Exposure to this fungus can cause vomiting, liver damage and even reproductive disorders in both animals and humans. The U.S. Department of Justice calls it a potential agroterrorism weapon. Experts say its economic and biological damage potential is no joke. It is already responsible for billions in losses each year. Enter Gordon G. Chang. Known for his hardline takes on China and his bestselling book 'China Is Going to War', Chang did not mince words in his appearance on Fox News. 'This was an attack on the United States at a time when China thought it was at war with us,' Chang said bluntly. He went on to say that this was also not a rogue act. He believes it could be part of a larger strategy from Beijing. In his words, the United States should stop ignoring hostile intent just because it is masked in science or trade. 'In May 2019, the state-run People's Daily published a landmark editorial declaring a people's war on the United States. That is not rhetoric, but a signal. When the Communist Party uses that language, they are preparing for action. That couple? They should be sent to Guantanamo,' Chang said. His most chilling warning came next. 'We are going to get hit really hard. Not just with Covid. Not just with fentanyl. But perhaps with something even worse,' Chang warned. He cited previous suspicious incidents such as unsolicited seed packets being sent from China to American households in 2020. This year, he said, Chinese e-commerce giant Temu was allegedly behind another round of mystery seed deliveries. 'That is not random. That is an effort to introduce invasive species and weaken our agriculture. It is warfare, not with missiles or guns,' he said. Chang even questioned whether Americans truly grasp the scale of what is coming. 'Xi Jinping talks about war all the time. He is mobilising the entire Chinese society for it. And here we are, doing next to nothing. We might be stronger, but we are not defending ourselves with enough determination,' he alleged. He concluded with a proposition, 'The only way to stop this is to sever ties with China. And I know people think that is drastic, but we are being overwhelmed.' This is not the first time Chang has raised red flags over China's activities. But this time, the warning carries more urgency and more stakes.

'Bigger destruction than Corona': US expert issues chilling warning, says China is secretly running... end relations...
New Delhi: An American expert has issued a big warning about China. He says that if all relations with Beijing are not completely ended, then a situation more dangerous than Covid-19 may have to be faced. Two Chinese citizens are accused of smuggling toxic agricultural fungus into the US. Gordon G. Chang, a leading analyst of the activities of the Chinese Communist Party, said, 'This was an attack on the United States.' China plotting against America? Speaking to Fox News after the arrest of Yunqing Jian and Junyong Liu, Chang warned that the alleged conspiracy indicates something deeper. He said that China is secretly running a long-running campaign to destabilize America from within. The only way to stop this is to end relations with China. Jian, 33, and Liu, 34, from China, are accused of smuggling into the US a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, which causes head blight, a disease that devastates crops such as wheat, rice and maize. China accused of spreading agricultural terrorism According to the US Justice Department, the fungus is identified in scientific literature as a potential agricultural terrorism weapon with the potential to trigger food shortages, economic setbacks and serious health effects, including liver damage and reproductive problems. The two men had previously worked on the fungus in China and allegedly conducted unauthorized research after bringing it to the USA. Chang said the case is not just about biological smuggling but much more than that. It is part of a broader People's War strategy rooted in Maoist doctrine aimed at weakening and destabilizing enemies politically, economically and psychologically.
