Taichung City Health Bureau director Huang Meina said that according to a survey recently released by the Consumers' Foundation, nearly 30% of the public drink 1 to 5 cups of freshly mixed beverages per week, and 16% of the public even drink 1 cup per day. If a cup of pearl milk tea contains about 410 calories, people must brisk walk for 2 hours or jog for 1 hour to burn off these calories.

In order to make weight loss a less burdensome activity, the Taichung City Health Bureau encourages the public to ride bicycles. The Dongfeng Bicycle Green Corridor is the first bicycle lane in the country that was converted from an abandoned railway. It is also the second bicycle lane in the country. The lane has a gentle slope and is suitable for all ages. One ride can consume about the calories of a cup of bubble tea. As for the nearby Houfeng Cycling Trail, which is shorter, one ride can consume about half a cup of bubble tea.
