In the long history of human development and evolution, human height is constantly changing. As can be seen from the above data, in the Neolithic age when human beings could barely fill their stomachs, human height was at a low point; With the development of productive forces, by the pre-Qin, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the average height of human beings had far exceeded that of the Neolithic Age. In the turbulent late Qing dynasty, productivity began to decline, people even had problems eating, and the average height even declined.

Simply put, people's height is closely related to social productivity. At present, the society is stable, the productive forces and technology are highly developed, and the nutrition we can ingest is more than several times that of the ancients. So it is not surprising that each generation is taller than the next. Some even learn to make bold predictions: Will the height of China people reach 180- 185 for women and 185- 190 for men in a hundred years? (The average height of the Dutch is the highest in the world at present, with the average height reaching182.5cm.).

If you want to grow taller, or if you want your offspring to grow taller, then you should pay attention! Nutrition is the key to bone growth. The energy, protein and amino acids required for the normal growth of bones are provided by food, such as meat, eggs, beans and beans. Bone formation also requires sufficient calcium, phosphorus and trace amounts of manganese and iron. Physical exercise can strengthen the metabolic process of human body, accelerate blood circulation, promote the secretion of growth hormone, accelerate the growth of bone tissue, and be beneficial to human body length.
