Reasons for the short height of the Japanese:
1. Japan's geographical location, Japan is alone in the vast Pacific Ocean, covered by the ocean in all directions, the land area is small, naturally its resources are very limited, such as cattle, sheep and horses These large animals are scarce, resulting in a low probability of being able to provide meat, and the Japanese rely on fish to eat meat. However, due to the limited level of science and technology in Japan at that time, it was difficult to form a large-scale fishing industry, and it was difficult for marine fish to enter the table of ordinary Japanese people in a steady stream, and the Japanese people lived on vegetables and had very little meat intake.
2. The concept of Japan, the strong national power of ancient China, deeply influenced the island country of Japan, Buddhism has flowed into Japan since then, in view of the concept advocated by Buddhism, the Japanese eat less meat. In the long run, the Japanese are destined to be short, and the Japanese often call themselves"Empire of Japan"This became the object of ridicule.
Countries with relatively tall heights.
182 per capitaWith a height of 5cm, the Netherlands is the tallest country in the world and is known as the country of "giants". When you walk the streets of Amsterdam, men who are 190cm tall abound, and men under 180cm are rarely seen. As for girls, it is not uncommon to see girls who are basically 170cm and over 180cm.
But the Dutch weren't as tall as they were to begin out, and even before the 18th century they were the shortest country in Europe. Over the past 150 years, the average height of Dutch men has increased by 8 inches (about 20 cm, compared to only 6 cm in the United States), and its height mystery is also a reference for many later countries.
The Netherlands has some of the best dairy manufacturing in the world, and a glass of milk a day is a Xi eating Xi for the Dutch. And because of its proximity to the sea and abundant fishery resources, the Dutch table is very rich in vegetables, fish and meat, and the nutrition is relatively balanced.
