Many Chinese people do not believe that children from China are shorter than those from Japan. However, scientific research has revealed that seven-year-old Chinese boys and girls are 0.6 centimeters and 0.5 centimeters shorter than Japanese boys and girls at the same age respectively. And the differences in the height of teenagers are more obvious. Japanese male teenagers are 1.4 centimeters taller than Chinese ones, while Japanese female teenagers are 0.6 centimeters taller. Why Chinese children and teenagers are shorter than those in Japanese? The reason lies in the nutriment that they ingest.
Nutriment plays an indispensable role in the development of height. Theoretically, the height of a person depends on the growth and development of long bones. In other words, the height is closely related to the aggradations of minerals and bone glue.
