This set of figures shows that Koreans are taller.
Have again
This is the average data of Korean men.
Then the question is, why do Koreans take rice as their staple food and it is still relatively high?
First of all, we can know that people who live on rice are shorter. Correspondingly, people who eat pasta are also higher.
For example:
For example, in Europe, America, North China and the Middle East, pasta is the main food.
For example, Japan, Southeast Asia and southern China mainly eat rice.
Then why are Koreans still taller? Let's discuss it here.
There are two main factors affecting height, congenital genes and acquired development.
1. From the innate genes, in order to maintain a constant body temperature, mammals need to dissipate heat at high temperature and keep warm at low temperature. The low temperature in high latitudes and the high temperature in low latitudes caused by the revolution of the earth determine that mammals living in high latitudes need stronger warm-keeping ability to resist the cold in winter. The larger the individual, the larger the fat storage space, the slower the surface area increase and the stronger the cold resistance.
A typical example is the polar bear, brown bear and grizzly bear living near the Arctic Circle. Their weights are often close to 1000 kg, while the bears living in the middle and low latitudes weigh tens to two or three hundred kg. The top ten heights in that report are basically countries with high latitudes in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, which is related to the long-term evolution of local races in a specific climate.
2, acquired development, mainly diet.
In the 1960s, it was called. Gregory from South Korea? Puckle. Actor Nangong Yuan, because of his similar height and face shape to Europeans, attracted the attention of many women. 180mm height can be regarded as a giant at that time, and the tall body naturally becomes the object people yearn for. For Koreans who suffered from malnutrition after the war, it is their wish that their children can grow taller. In 1980s, South Korea produced a lot of milk. Let milk realize your dream of growing tall? Like this? Marketing on the tall? .
Because of this yearning for height, coupled with the continuous improvement of nutritional status, the height of Koreans has been growing continuously for 50 years after the liberation of South Korea.
If you look at the above report carefully, you will find that Taiwan Province Province, whose latitude is lower than that of most provinces in Chinese mainland, has a per capita height of 1.74cm, which fully demonstrates the importance of acquired development. I believe that with the China government paying more and more attention to the cultivation of national physique, and the public's understanding of nutrition intake and physical fitness becoming more and more scientific, the height of China people will continue to rise.
3. Besides, Koreans belong to Mongolian race with us, but Koreans belong to Tunguska people, and they are tall, just like Manchu people in Northeast China. And we Han people belong to the Mongolian race.
The above three factors lead to higher Koreans.
