    You may find it interesting to know that around 150 years ago, Dutch men were amongst some of the shortest populations in Europe at an average of 165cm (5 ft 5 in).

    Good exercise, better diets, and various other good things went into contributing to a taller average height today.

      We don’t even have to go 150 years back if we take a look at North and South Korea’s. Photos of soldiers from both countries standing side by side show staggering difference.

        Looks aren’t everything. Overall my gut feels incredible after a trip to the Netherlands! Great ingredients.
