Why do we 'grow as fast as we blow'?

Records and skeleton traces show that people today are much higher than one or two centuries ago. Height is also different in each country, even in people with similar genetic backgrounds, such as Koreans and Koreans.

John Komlos, a lecturer in economics at the University of Munich, and a pioneer in studying the level of wealth and human health throughout history. John Komlos clearly explains what regulates human height and why some groups are taller than others.

There are two main reasons why we are taller today. The first is that diet has improved significantly. In addition to the limitations of diet in the industrialized age, we generally provide better vitamins, minerals and protein for the body than 100 or 200 years ago. As a result, our bodies grow better.

In addition, our health has improved significantly along with the development of technology in health. We face fewer pandemics. This is important because if the plague happens, the nutrients we provide to the body are not absorbed effectively. Disease will 'occupy' part of the energy that we supply to the body, leading to the remaining energy to grow the body will be cut off.

Over the past 140 years, we have constantly increased in height. Previously, there were cycles of height, based on the economic situation as well as agricultural production . Medieval times, we were also quite high. At that time, population density was quite low and food was quite adequate. Our lowest 'high score' is in the 17th century. For example, the French were only about 162cm tall on average. Only from about the middle of the 19th century did the trend develop in height.

Americans are the tallest people in the world for a long time, since the American Revolution to World War II. (There are genetic factors that regulate height, but there are very few genetic differences between Europeans and their descendants abroad.) America is a country with rich natural resources, rich in seafood and wild animals. In fact, we have data for disadvantaged people in the US like slaves. Obviously they are the most miserable people of society, but due to the abundant resources, and because they need them for employers, they have been given decent food. So slaves here are even higher than farmers in Europe. And it is not surprising that the Europeans had massively flocked to the United States.

However, Americans are no longer the tallest people in the world. After World War II, many Western and Northern European countries began to have reasonable social policies. In most of these countries there is a global health system.

In addition, Americans today face another problem: obesity. If children are fed too much nutrition they will not be able to grow in the best way. There are certain hormones that control the period of 'accelerating' height in adolescence. Nutrition is one of the factors along with hormonal and hormonal factors related to puberty. Excessive intake of pre-puberty may affect the hormonal system and may produce too much pre-schooling hormone, so steroids (one of the organic compounds produced naturally in the body ) Sex will also appear soon. If sexual steroids appear early, adolescence will soon end and will not reach height during adulthood as those with good nutrition. In addition, eating fast foods with too much carbohydrate and fat can curb the absorption of essential nutrients needed for growth.
