How to keep feet soft and odorless in winter

Many women hesitate when ushered into a room with floor-seating instead of to a table when having dinner at a Korean restaurant, especially in the winter.

Sure, it could be because they are wearing skirts that are too short or boots that are too much trouble to take off and put back on. But frankly speaking, those might not be the only reasons.

“I never say it out loud, but I am worried that my feet might smell or my toes might have bored holes into the stockings. Especially when I have been wearing boots all day long, because I don’t know what might have happened inside them,” said a 25-year-old office worker who asked to remain anonymous.

Women accuse men of having smelly feet all year long. But during the cold season, well, it is possible that they are the smellier ones.

According to a 2009 survey by Novartis Korea of 1,000 men and women aged 18 to 54 who live in Korea’s four metropolitan cities, 51.5 percent of the women said that they have experienced foot fungus in the winter.

Not a surprise, knowing how they fussily pamper their precious feet in the summer but often completely forget about them as soon as they disappear from sight, tucked deep inside a pair of boots.

For all who feel guilty, here are some basic steps to make your feet soft and odorless again.

‘More than half of Korean women had athlete’s foot’

One, wash them smartly

Your feet could easily get sweaty and callused in the winter because they are stuck inside extra warm shoes for most of the day. Such shoes, including boots, are most likely made of non-breathable materials that trap heat and moisture which can cause calluses that lead to dermatitis like athlete’s foot and bad odor.

Some recklessly try to scrape the calluses off with something sharp, like a knife or a paper cutter. This can be even more dangerous than it sounds because doing so could cut off some of the healthy skin and infect that too.

The smart way to remove calluses is to soak your feet in warm water for a while, rub them with a soft towel or brush, wash them with soap and dry them completely. If water remains on the feet, it could be another cause for bad odor.

“It is okay to use foot exfoliating tools or cream if the calluses are too thick, but you should avoid using too much force to scrape them off especially when your feet are wet. Not everyone needs to get rid of calluses and excessive exfoliation could irritate the skin even more,” said Park Ji-young, dermatologist at ArumdaunNara Dermatology Cosmetic Surgical Center.

Two, give them extra care

After cleansing your feet thoroughly, slather on foot lotion or cream that contains callus softeners. Doctors say that moisturizers are always good for the feet. If your feet still feel too dry and chapped, cover them up with plastic wrap or gauze for the night and you will find them much softer in the morning.

If time and money permits, visiting a nearby foot massage center or a pedicure shop would be refreshing. Your feet deserve a full-course treatment from scrubs and massages to shiny pedicures from time to time, even in the winter.

If you think you have a fungal infection, make sure you see a podiatrist. Young women are often too ashamed to admit that they have foot problems and refuse to go see a doctor. But doctors warn that it may bring on secondary infections or other serious complications if not treated soon enough.

“Athlete’s foot sometimes gets naturally cured when the season changes, but that is only if the condition is not too bad. In worse conditions, the germs can move on to fingernails and toenails. Then the treatment gets more complicated and it can spread to other people as well,” said Park.

“High humidity is a major cause of athlete’s foot. Winter is a better season to treat the problem than summer because it is relatively drier. But even if you get cured for now it does not mean that you are cured for good. It requires continuous care.”

Three, watch out for boots

As warm as they are, tall and tight boots impede blood circulation and provide a perfect playground for bacteria to breed. Calluses, corns and modified toenails may even follow as well, if the boots come with killer heels.

Uggs, which have been highly popular among women for several years now, are loose and comfy but also provide a perfect germ-breeding environment. So those who prefer to have nothing between them and their sheep-skin boots so that they can best enjoy the cushiony wool lining should know that it is not such a good idea.

“When wearing boots barefoot, the sweat will remain inside and increase the possibility of developing athlete’s foot. It is much better to wear cotton socks that can absorb sweat instead of wearing stockings or going barefoot,” said Park. Insoles that have moisture-absorption and antibiotic functions can also come in handy.

A good idea is to prepare a pair of slippers at work and change into them on days you are wearing boots. Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes, any shoes, for several days because it takes at least a day for them to dry.

When you get home, spray the insides of the boots with anti-fungal spray and air them out. Stick in a roll of newspaper when you do not wear them to prevent odor and germs. Tossing in a green tea bag could also help. Deodorant sprays could be effective for a while but regular perfumes could worsen the smell and even taint the boots.

Ski jumper Pungertar wins FIS Continental Cup title in PyeongChang

PYEONGCHANG, Gangwon Province -- Matjaz Pungertar of Slovenia beat fellow countryman Zima Rok and Germany’s Julian Musiol to claim his first career title at the PyeongChang FIS Continental Cup title Wednesday.

The 20-year-old had the day’s longest effort of 134.5 meters on the K-125 hill and followed up with a 128-meter leap to win the title with a total of 249.5 points at the Alpensia ski jump stadium.

“I’m really happy. This is my first career victory in the international level,” Pungertar said in a press conference.

“The slope was good, weather condition and everything was good,” he added.

Musiol jumped 129.5 meters in his first attempt, but his second jump of 121.5 meters left him 22.7 points behind the winner. And Rok Zima cleared 123 meters and 128 meters to finish in shared second place.

Korean national team Choi Heung-chul jumped 119 meters and 116.5 meters to finish in 12th place with 196.4 points, while Kim Hyun-ki came in 14th position with 195.3 points.

National team manger Kim Heung-soo said he was disappointed about the team’s performance, and blamed it on a lack of practice.

“We were not allowed to practice at the Alpensia Resort. So our players had only the 10-day practice session in Europe before this competition,” Kim said.

“It’s pity that we had to go abroad. I hope we can use the facilities for the upcoming Winter Asian Games,” he added.

The ski jumping competition continues through Thursday.

The two-day competition is aimed at raising awareness of ski-jumping here. Through the event, PyeongChang is trying to grab worldwide attention in a bid to host the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Koreans Growing Taller, Thinner, Study Shows


Koreans are getting taller, lighter and thinner, according to a study released Thursday by the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards. The agency studied the physical characteristics of Koreans in their 20s and compared them to other age groups.

As Koreans grow taller, their legs are getting longer in proportion to the body. Of two Korean men, one in his 20s and one in his 50s both 175 cm tall, the younger man's legs are 1.22 cm longer, measuring 80.15 cm. The legs of women in the same age group were around 2 cm longer than those of their middle-aged counterparts, measuring 72.08 cm. Overall, the legs of 20-somethings were around 2 cm longer than those of the older group.

Given that 20-somethings tend to be around 6 cm to 8 cm taller than those in their 50s, young Koreans are taller and thinner, more closely resembling western physiques. The average ratio of total body length to head length is 7.2:1 for Koreans in their 40s but for those in their 20s 7.3:1. "Koreans have grown taller while the size of their heads remains the same," a KATS spokesman said.

An increase in dieting has caused the number of underweight people to rise in all age groups. In 2003, 11.5 percent in their late 20s were underweight. This year, that rose to 15.7 percent. In contrast, the ratio of obese people has decreased. Among people in their 50s, 50.3 percent were obese in 2003, but this year the ratio fell to 39.4 percent.

But the proportion is growing among younger men. Yoo Jae-woo, a professor at Kangnam University who headed the study, said, "The rate of obesity among Korean men in their late 20s and early 30s has increased significantly because they spend more time in front of the computer and less exercising."

Overall height seems to have reached a ceiling in 2003, with men on average 174 cm tall and women 160.5 cm. Among women the speed of growth slowed down at the age of 12 and at 15 for men, resulting in only between 4 cm to 5 cm in additional height afterwards. "Until the end of the 1990s, Koreans' overall height continued to grow thanks to better nutrition. That it has remained at the current level since 2003 seems to be due to ethnic reasons," the spokesman said.

The survey involved 14,016 men and women between the ages of seven and 69 using three-dimensional body scanners.

Seoul aims to join top 5 countries in renewable energy sector

The Korean government recently revealed a plan to become one of top five countries in renewable energy sector by 2015 as part of the government's policy vision of "low carbon, green growth."

As part of the green growth policy, Korea aims to transform the country's existing fossil fuel-based, environment-threatening economic growth structure into a clean energy-based one.

Currently, the international renewable energy market has had an average annual growth rate of 28 percent. The international renewable energy market recorded $162 billion in 2009. The Korean government predicts it will grow more than $1 trillion in 2020, equal to the current volume of the worldwide automobile industry.

The Ministry of Knowledge Economy announced a set of renewable energy development strategies and blueprint to become one of leading countries in renewable energy sector in October last year. According to the plan, the ministry will invest a total of 40 trillion won by 2015 to become one of top five countries in the renewable energy sector. According to the government's forecast, Korea's renewable energy industry will become one of Korea’s leading industries, worth $40 billion in 2015, up from $4.6 billion in 2009.

Korea's renewable energy industry has developed rapidly in recent years, with the government contributing nearly two trillion won over the last three years, with the government budget for the sector exceeding one trillion won for the first time ever in 2011.

Mt. Maebong Wind Power Plant, Gangwon Province

* Seoul to invest in solar, wind energy

According to research by the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, Korea had a total of 146 renewable energy enterprises as of 2009. Among them, 79.5 percent are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and 53 firms are start-ups, contributing to job creation.

The Korean government's renewable energy development strategy is focused on incubating solar energy, wind energy and fuel cell industries.

The government plans to nurture the solar energy sector into a leading industry, just as they have nurtured the semiconductor industry. The government will concentrate on developing core technology, parts and materials at lower prices to make up for a late start in the secotr.

Korea also aims to become one of leading countries in wind power industry, backed by the country's world-leading shipbuilding and plant industries. The country supports the localization of core parts and materials so firms can focus on the large-scale marine wind power businesses.

* Seoul aims to achieve co-growth among SMEs and large firms

The Korean government plans to inject 20 billion won to build up to five test-beds to develop the solar and wind power industries by the end of 2011. It also plans to build 100-megawatt marine wind power complexes in Buan and Yeonggwang in Jeolla Province by 2013. Additionally, it aims to incubate up to 50 promising enterprises in order to achieve its goal of $100 million worth of exports in renewable energy industry by 2015.

To successfully become one of the top five countries in the renewable energy industry, Korea needs to develop core original technologies to dominate the global market.

For this reason, the government will select ten core original technologies and invest 1.5 trillion won in them by 2015. To further strengthen the development of core parts and materials for the sector, the government will increase the volume of its support by more than 50 percent by 2012 from its current level.
