How to increase Height

 

Will people keep getting longer?

We are now taller than 150 years ago. How is that a question asked by Adam Hadhazy, and will people live in the next 100 years?

Humanity has changed over the past 150 years The world's population has increased from one billion to seven billion.

In developed countries the average life expectancy has increased from 45 in the mid-1800s to the present 80s.

After that too our shape has changed where most people are now taller than they used to be.

The height of the population in industrialized countries has increased from the UK to the US to Japan, where they have increased by about 10 centimeters.

In terms of the length of time people spend, one country surpasses the rest.

Today young Dutch men are about 184 centimeters tall, while females are about 170 centimeters tall, all of whom exceeded their mid-19th century and 19-centimeter clocks.

Professor John Komlos (retired) of the University of Munich says this is a difference that will surprise people.

So why are people especially Dutch people getting taller now?

Does that mean people will continue to grow taller, and if so how long can it last?

Will our grandchildren, who will be living on the moon and other planets, think of us ancestors who lived on earth as fairy-tale creatures?

Questions like these led Komlos in the 1980s to develop a field of study in which the increase and decrease of a population depends on the growth or decline of the economy and the anthropometric social conditions.


In this regard, Komlos examines the recruitment records of military personnel, which include longevity.

The study revealed that the increase and decrease in a person’s height depends on two factors: diet and disease, especially during childhood.

If children do not get enough nutritious food to eat or do not get enough nutrients due to diarrhea, this will prevent their body from growing as much as it should.

"In short," said Professor William Leonard of Northwestern University in Illinois.

History is full of examples of this relationship of longevity and health.

In Western Europe, during the end of the 15th century after the Black Death, which killed nearly 60 percent of the population,

the survivors received plenty of food and no congestion, all of which contributed to the low prevalence of the disease.

People were taller where the British at that time were only less than 4 inches tall compared to their contemporaries.

But in 17th-century Europe there was a sharp decline in population. At the time most French people did not exceed 162 centimeters.

During the Cold War, crops fell everywhere, ranging from the British Civil War to the French Civil War of Louis XIV and the 30-year war of what is now Germany.

"Europe only collapsed at this time of the 17th century," Komlos said.

At the same time, the development of industrialization in the 18th century, which plunged people into living conditions in dirty and diseased homes in cities, also slowed down population growth.
But the next decade of the 19th century civil unrest led to improved agriculture and water supply and sanitation in cities and economic growth. Western Europe has sustained this economic growth over the years and continues to this day.

This relationship of longevity and health still exists today.

For example, look at North and South Korea, where the North ranks 188th out of 195 countries on the United Nations Population Fund, which is a measure of people's longevity and achievement. and their knowledge.

The tallest man in North Korea is not as tall as his South Korean counterpart by about 3 to 8 inches.

And South Korea was the 15th country in 2014 in the list of UN countries, whose lives have improved.

However in some industrialized nations, such as the United States, the extension of the 19th century has stalled.

From the 18th century Revolutionary War to the Second World War in the middle of the 20th century, Americans outnumbered their counterparts in other industrialized nations.

But today most American men are about 176 centimeters tall and 163 centimeters tall, which is almost the same as the American average of 45 years, which is less than the average Dutchman today.

Leonard said the average life span of most Americans today was not much longer than it was in the mid-1970s and late 1960s.

"We've been talking for 40 to 50 years," he said.

Komlos believes that diversity in nutrition and health care in the United States combined with the best-for-profit system in developed European countries is the cause of diversity.

Millions of Americans do not have health insurance and do not have access to adequate medical care.

Pregnant women do not receive much care in the United States, but their counterparts in the Netherlands even home nurses visit them for free. Komlos said.

And supplements on this one-third of the American population are obese, due to the consumption of canned food and other junk food.
