No Offence to people but why are chinese people so fit (I mean i have never seen an overweight chinese)

Question

Please don't get offended about this question I'm just curious

Answer 1

Diet.

However, the Chinese are eating more as their wealth increases.  Expect to see more fat Chinese people in the near future.

Answer 2

they eat a lot of green vegetables and exercise.

if u look outside early in the morning as 5 Am you will find chinese old people manly men and women doing exercise. Everywhere in hongkong.

that's surprising.

Answer 3

There are some asians that are over weight, but to answer your question. Asians tend to be slimmer, due to their size and eating habits. Their diet consist of a lot of vegetables. Also, let's not forget that they are not lazy like us...they ride bikes to work, walk, take a train or the bus. Mostly you see them riding bikes all over the place.

Answer 4

it's in the race... their life style and eating habits, when these chinese go to other country like US or Italy where foods are carbo-rich they'll surely get fat in less than a month.  

Answer 5

But they all look the same don't they?

Seriously just look at the Japanese.  Since the 1970s they have gone from tiny people to western sized people - just by the change of lifestyle and diet.

Henry the 8th was a tall man at something like 5'6".  we are a product of our environment or we really are what we eat!!

Answer 6

don't forget to mention, it's also involved with genetic. Oriental people have a specific segment of their DNA that would not make them to be an overweight person.
