Korea to implement special traffic measures for summer holiday season

As we get closer to the peak of the summer holiday season here in Korea, the government is preparing for a surge in domestic travel especially on the country's expressways.

On Tuesday, the transportation ministry announced special measures to make roadtrips a little less stressful.

To reduce traffic flow, more trains, express buses, airplanes and ferries will be laid on from July 24th to August 9th.

A survey by the Korea Transport Institute revealed nearly 40 percent of vacationers plan to hit the road during the first week of August.

Samgyetang and other summer health foods from Korea

This is the traditional Korean dish "samgyetang," stuffed with rice, ginseng, garlic and other herbs.

 The chicken ginseng soup, with its unique fresh taste, is the must-have meal for Koreans during the scorching summer heat.

 "The various oriental herbs in samgyetang help warm up the body by boosting blood circulation."

 The chicken soup is good especially for people who suffer from cold hands and feet.

 But if your body holds onto heat well, samgyetang may not be the best way to recharge your energy during the summer.

 If you are one of those people, you might want to try eel soup or broiled duck, which help cool the body down.

 Seafood can also help you stay healthy during the hot weather.

 Octopus is especially good for people who get tired easily as its taurine acid helps strengthen liver function.

 For the elderly or children, high-protein and low-fat abalone or croaker are recommended to boost the immune system.

 "Seafood has the unique function of 'counterbalancing.' During the summer, it helps your body maintain the necessary balance."

 If you have a weak metabolism or your body swells up easily, doctors suggest avoiding the kinds of food Koreans enjoy to beat the heat.

 They say for those people, fruit and vegetables that hydrate you and provide a good supply of vitamins are the perfect summer health food..
