Asian people who are shorter are now increasing their height relatively quickly by improving their diets and doing exercises and this can be seen in most Asian nations such as South Korea, India and China. But still there are many developing nations which due to various cultural influences such as diet difference and malnutrition suffer from growth rate.
The short
height of the people of Developing Asian Nations is due to micronutrient
deficiency in these nations. Asians suffer from nutritional deficiencies
because they intake low calcium due to lactose intolerance in 95% of their
adult population. They consume limited amount of protein, iodine, iron, reduced
vitamin D, vitamin A which are not available in their nutritional diet. The
darker skin also synthesises vitamin D at a much slower rate as compared to the
whites.
White rice
which is the most popular food amongst Asians and refined bread also leads to
micro-nutrient deficiency. Asians consume white rice instead of whole grains
which bring about an increase in insulin production, which creates imbalance of
hormones and reduces growth hormones.
Giving less
importance to exercise, fluoride poisoning also affects growth of millions of
Asians.
Many Asian
cultures value white skin and they often avoid outdoor sports to avoid being
tanned. This causes deficiency of Vitamin D. Skin Whiteners which are very popular
amongst Asians contains mercury or hydroquinone as their main ingredients which
are considered toxic chemicals and affects growth of Asians including unborn
baby in pregnant women.
The
Explanation which can be given for Swedish and European people who have
relatively tall height is that lactose intolerance only affects 5% of European
and 2% of Swedish and they have highest intake of vitamin D.
Now, the
scenario is changing and the Young Asian population is getting aware in
respect of their looks and they are spending money and time on various diet
programs, exercises and Height programs in order to look good.
