Well it comes down to one of the oldest questions in the worlds, is it because of nature or nurture. Are Filipinos just genetically short, is it in our DNA to be little oompa lumpias forever… or is it a result of our environment? Poor diet? Not enough milk?

It’s a combination of temperature, historical availability of food/ kind of food, and differences in sexual selection/culture. Colder climates produce large organisms due to less surface area to mass. Food is obvious, and cultural differences could result in possibly hormonal differences results in different pressures for male size to mate especially in conjunction with food. So in the history of one country male mating may not be as size dependent, but another may favor male size more strongly. Phillip one immigrants in Norway will be below average height for many generations. It is what it is.

Healthy nutrition and plenty of sleep during the growth spurt years helps. I've been an insomniac since the 5th grade. It's never too late to focus on nutrition and health. Just be comfortable in the body you're in. When people reveal who they are by making fun of you, these are the people that will hold you back in life. Being short is ok. Being tall is ok. Bullying is a waste of time.

No, our ancestors are not tall. Early Filipinos whose bones was recently discovered in caves are 4ft below. Our grandparents or ancestors had to climb trees to get coconuts or produce. They had to bend over planting crops rice corn etc. Imagine being 5ft 10 or 6ft climbing branches of mangoes or climb on top of a coconut tree. It would break! Imagine carrying loads of heavy wood and crops. They're short but they can carry heavy weights rather than the youths of today. Facts

Its an adaptation to hot climate, Shorter people are less likely to get overheated or have the more serious condition called heatstroke. This is mainly because taller -- and heavier -- people make more body heat. If they make it faster than they can get rid of it, like during intense exercise, which can lead to heat stroke or heat exhaustion.

It's nutrition in early childhood, and genetics. More protein from red meat apparently has a lot to do with it. Milk won't help much if you don't have the specific gene to digest lactase. Decent quality formula is fine for babies, maybe better than breast milk from a malnourished mother.

In poor countries like the PH with bad traditional diets, I think diet plays a bigger role. I think the tallest AVERAGE height Southeast Asians (including Filipinos) can reach is 5'8" which isn't that tall but good enough to global standards. This is evidenced by the Westen raised Filipinos being taller and fatter on average. Filipinos simply eat waaaay to much rice. I've often heard from Filipinos that nothing makes them full but rice. They eat 80-90% rice in a meal. Not to mention all that sugary, salty, greasy trad cuisine. Then there's the childhood diseases and infections due to dirty environment. In contrast, South Koreans are not only genetically predisposed to be on the tall side, but they also have a variety in their meals. Lot's of side dishes and grilled meat so they grow taller despite not sleeping enough due to their studying.

Documentaries that I've watched has Asians in general being shorter because of their diet with rice and other food that doesn't allow the body all the nutrition that it needs

It make sense cause filipinos living near equator being short is an adaptation to hot climate, The taller you are, the more body mass you have, and therefore the more heat you produce. This can make it harder for a tall person to cool down, therefore making them more susceptible to overheating and heat stroke, which can be deadly. The smaller you are the more efficiently you can cool down.

I’m a half Chinese half Pakistani man standing at 185cm exact. But my gf is Filipino standing at 5’2. We both want tall kids but are afraid that the chances are low, as I am the tallest in my family, with everyone else behind just below my shoulders. While my gf is considered to be apart of the majority height in her family. But after showing this video to her, we are even more sceptical for some reason. 😂😂

Not Filipino but mexican and we also don't have the best reputation when it comes to height too, average height being 5'6.5 for men. I'm 6ft the tallest in my family but my father is 5'5 and mom 5'4. My family does have history with being tall with my dead grandpa on my dad's side was 6ft and my great grandfather was 6'3 or 6'4. From hearing stories of my dad he grow up in a large family with little food when he was young. Not having great nutrition as a young kid will affect your height a lot. Milk won't make you grow taller on its own but is does have a good amount of calories, protein and vitamins and it's super cheap too.

Being short has way more disadvantages than being tall. Just look up the statistics. Short men are more likely to be bullied, assaulted, murdered, or be convicted. Short men and women are less likely to earn more income. Short men are less likely to be promoted to higher positions. Short men tend to have weaker bones and less maximum muscle capacity. Short men have a hard time on the dating market. A short man with "attitude"/confidence is seen as cocky, arrogant, or with short-man syndrome. Short men tend to develop shortman-syndrome that damages their ability to form quality connections. And more.

I think chiken, cheese and butter is a cheap way human to get taller. In south korea who are obsess in physical beauty and height that's why plastic surgery is a norm in south korea also they have extensive study on how to south koreans taller. Chiken and cheese consumption in south korea is one of the top the world. Basically south korean children eat big amount protein base food. South korea has the blue print on how to get taller at least in asia but we all know western country teach the world on how to get taller protein based food no sweets because sweet signal your brain to stop producing growth hormone.
