Out of curiosity, I looked up North Korea and South Korea - countries which till just over half a century ago were one nation in pretty much everything - religion, food habits, genetics, language etc. The difference is that the average South Korean male is 3 inches taller than the North Korean. I am assuming most cultural habits have remained the same - but economically the two countries are poles apart.

Its all in the diet mate; if most Pakistanis, Indians and Bangladeshis are struggling to get two score meals a day then it shouldn't be surprising if our average heights, nutritional levels or perhaps even average weights are below healthy levels.

True. I guess in mountainous regions like Nepal and Bolivia, geography too plays a part. Most Nepalis I've met have short but built like tanks.

I would imagine that most Nepalis, Bolivians, Tibetans or Baltis don't have access to the same kind and quantities of foods that their European counterparts who are living in the foothills of the Alps or up north in Scandinavia.

But even closer to home its a fact that wealthy South Asians irrespective of their geographical or ethnic origins tend to be healthier and taller than average. I'd say thats probably down to access to an abundance of nutritious food.

cousin marriages were also one of the reasons...

it does take a toll when you keep doing it generation after generation, not a good practice.

One advantage of being average height is you do not hit your head on doors and entering or existing cars.

Also in airplane when you get up from seat no chance to smack your head on roof

• You have absolutely no problem to find your size in stores when you go shop

You have better chance at survival in a war as you can hid behind many commonly available hiding spot while the Tall guy's head sticks out of the hiding areas. Tall guys die first in war as they can't replace their damaged helmets with replacement while average guy can just put any helmet on


Also as a pilot less chance of you hitting the roof of fighter jet while ejecting for safety

And lets not forget problem taking showers

Dirty tops in car

So love your average Height, ur special
Do you think a Tall freak would be able to enjoy Private Jet ?

Yes, nailed it.

so easy to solve let me explain. firstly during early years and world war national socialist, usa, soviet union had a program known as eugenics . some were encoraged to breed with healthier ppl and terminally ill, feeble minded and others were sterilized. healthiest men and women were bred.

modern agriculture depletes the soil, so therefore as years went by the food contain less and less nutrents.
Have you noticed many ppl have slipped disc, bad backs.

by the way sugar destroys bone structure and feeds the bad bacteria. avoid sugar at all cost but it is in everything. Nestle should fcuk off nothing but fraud enslavers. your chance is to vegetarian and eat organic.

avoid pakistani food except grilled chicken nowoagain.

oat meal, blueberry, vegetables, fruits especially lemon, appl cider vinegar, baking soda, daal, kale is highest in bone building, broccoli to, basically most greens, nuts and seeds, avoid white bread/naan, by the british milk will damage yoir bones it contains milk and is water down. avoid beverages. just drink water. avoid chai/pg tips.

drink green tea/ nettle tea. organic honey. avoid white rice. you want to eat barley organic. eat sardines good for bones.

i eat lot of almonds very expensive 17 pound for 1kg organic from spain or india.

avoid table salt it is chekicaly proccessed. get himalya pink salt organic. water melon is good for blood and weight loss.

get glucosamine sulphate tablets/ calcium, magnesium, vitamin d tablets.

your body need magnesum to asorb calcium. try out magnesium oil, it gts toxin out of your bod plus strengthen bones and more. anyway i am now tired typing.

plz dont marry bitchy cousins

Same. Me you and @Zibago are 5"8. We all have Kashmiri ancestry. Coincidence? I think not. It's a conspiracy by Kashmiris to malign Pakistan, like NS.

That made me think, but then why are Northern Pakistanis and Northern Indians the tallest in their respective lands? Europeans who live near the Alps are the tallest in their lands.
