We previously shared a newcomer's guide (read Part 1 & Part 2 if you missed them). Today, Dr. Dong Bei presents some further tips for those who have just arrived in Beijing that can also serve as reminders for those who've been here many years.
Eat Well

Social Support
Mental Health
Try to build a scheduled exercise habit early on. It will
pay off later by stabilizing your mood and decreasing stress. Maintaining good sleep habits will help mental and physical health and is good no matter where you live. If you're a frequent flyer, ensure you have ways to deal with jet lag and long flights. One of the early signs of psychological issues is insomnia. If you are consistently not sleeping enough, it is important to get help.

China's Medical System
The process and style of care in local hospitals in Beijing is different from what many are used to in their home countries. Language differences can also be challenging, especially under the stress of illness or injury.
Also, in some cases, medications you are used to from your home country may go by a different name or may not be available. As our doctors come from and are trained around the world, they can help find similar local medications for you and our pharmacy (located at each of our hospitals) can fill your prescriptions.
I hope everyone has an easy beginning and a great overall experience in Beijing and China as a whole. We are more than happy to help if and when you need us.
