Over the last few decades, humans have grown (height-wise) taller than earlier times significantly. The average human height over time has increased by 3 to 7 inches than what it used to be in the late 19s. So, how have humans grown taller over time?\n\n\n\n
There is a solid reason for this! The whole research\ncomes down to nutrition and the human body\u2019s ability to fully benefit itself\nfrom those nutrients. The skeletons of human bodies over history have shown\nthat there has been a significant difference in average human height. In the\nUS, in 1850, the height of the average human was about 5 ft 7 inches or 170 cm.\nThings began to change after the 2nd World War. It is believed that during the\n2nd World War, people had access to resource-rich environments and a wide\nvariety of nutrition sources. Let\u2019s take an example of the Netherlands, the\naverage height of a male was approximately 5 ft 5 inches during the time of\nworld war, and today, the tallest people on the earth are found in the\nNetherlands.\n\n\n\n
Most people believe that the great strides in\nheight made by Western Europeans over Americans are all because of their social\npolicies and health awareness. These include factors such as higher parental\nleaves that allow parents for better practicality of things like breastfeeding,\nless working hours providing extra hours for preparing nutritious meals rather\nthan just relying upon fast-food.\n\n\n\n
So how taller will humans grow with perfect\nnutrition? It is believed that Dutch and Americans are close to their average\nheight potentials. This is a good thing as the human body is not by any means\nmeant to grow to extreme heights. Extremely tall humans suffer from various\npains and disabilities related to their abnormal height.
