Where did the endomorph body type originate?

Question

The endomorph is a naturally bulky body type that can build fat and muscle tissue fast, but they have a hard time losing excess mass. Is there a certain area were this genetic trait originated?

I know there are alot of ectomorph body types in Asia and that they are well respected if they can obtain a large mass and hold it (Sumo). But were is an area in the world were endomorphs are a common sight?

Answer 1

The United States?? haha

Answer 2

I thought that whole categorization scheme had been abandoned.

There's no reason to think any one type (even if it is a sensible scheme) originated in any one place -- except back when we were all Africans, I guess.

There are all body tyes in all areas.

Answer 3

Endomorphs don't build muscle, that is the mesomorph body type.Endomorphs are pear shaped people, it's like a bowling pin kind of shape. Endomorphs have narrow shoulders and very wide hip bones. This body type is very fatty, naturally. In women, this body type has the lowest rate of dying while giving birth. Despite their high fat content, they have lower risks of diabetes type 2 because they carry all their weight on the hips, butt, and thighs. Apple shaped girls who carry weight on top or rectangle shaped bodies that have no difference between bust-waist-and hip measurements get contract diabetes 2 more frequently. The strongest and sturdiest body type for  women is the endomorph body type.

But the body type with the longest life expectancy among women is the hourglass body type. They have equal shoulder to hip width, narrow waist, and bust measurements equal to the hip (buttock) measurement. The hourglass body type in women is also called the mesomorph body type. They have long legs, long arms, are lower risk of heart problems, excellent hamstrings, and have the best bone density. These women are less likely to develop osteoporosis when they get older, and menopause effects this body type the least because it is not as estrogen dependent as the  pear-shaped endomorphs.

Ectomorph  body types are very fine boned, have tiny shoulders and tiny hips that are visually the same width. Ectomorphs are sinewy, and can either be either rectangle shaped, apple shaped, or diamond shaped. If you are not familiar with the diamond shape, it looks like an hourglass but the waist is not as defined, and the chest and buttocks are very small.  Ectomorphs are wiry in appearance but have great physical endurance, fast metabolisms, are androgen dominent (that is why they are not pear shaped despite having tiny shoulders) and they have lower bone density than mesomorphs but higher bone density than endomorphs.

Now that the actual meaning of  body types of these terms is clear, I should mention that these rules reply to men and women.

Endomorphs (pear shapes) are common all over the world. In West Africa, the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. These places have the most endomorphs because they spread from European and African populations  during colonial times.

In South America, Germany, Russia, North Africa, Southern African countries,  India, and Asia, ectomorph types are very common. They are about 50% of the population.

In East Africa, India, Vietnam, Sweden, Melanesia, Greece, and France, the mesomorph body type is dominant. At least 90% of women in these areas have this body type. But all of these places usually have a warm climate and similar food supplies. If you did an indepth study on these populations, they all eat similsr types of food. The reason why French women have a body type that is seemingly more common in tropical women is because they tend to have more eumelanin than most Europeans, and their diets are high in fat but in good fats. And their foods, especially the wine in their diet gives them plenty of antioxidants, almost as much as one would find in the most nutrient rich fruits in vegetables that grow naturally in Africa, India and throughout parts of Asia. High amounts of antioxidants make for square shoulders, denser bones, longer legs, and  fuller busts.

Endomorphs have diets that are not always super high in fat as one might think. (Yes some endomorphs have high fat diets but not all of them do.) In West African civilizations, consuming very fatty meats--that drip with fat when cooked, can encourage pear shaped figures. But the high vitamin content in native vegetation in the area makes it where the fat deposits on the lower half and not the waist.  In developed countries, even though alot of women follow strict low fat diets, the bottom half expands no matter what.  and the top half is the only part that gets skinnier. Why? Because even if a woman takes multivitamins, eats low fat but drinks artificial sweteners, and consumes large amounts of high fructose corn syrup...no matter what the body will put on weight. High fructose corn syrup which is widely used in developed countries as a sweetener because it's cheaper than sugar turns off the human bodies liver enzymes (which burn up fat, and turn off hunger when the body does not need energy for fuel) and other important chemicals. Infact high fructose corn syrup encourages hunger and fat storage, on the waist on down. Artificial sweeteners on the hands can bind to micro and macronutrients from veggies and fruits, and make it wear the body does not process the vitamins. Instead, the body flushes the vitamins out with other waste products and never uses them. This explains why some of the world's wealthiest countries have some of the world's sickest people.

Ectomorph body types are made in response to consuming small amounts of food (no 3 big meals a day, but like 5 small meals daily) and this gets the body in the mood to constantly burn up all calories quickly. These body types also arise to allow the quick escape of heat. You will never see a natural ectomorph body type person living in a cold climate because they would freeze and get frostbite. Their bodies are made to burn up heat and release heat.

Men fall into these body types too. However, most men are apple shaped and are mesomorph shaped.

Would you like examples of men with different body types?

Endomorph men are: Benjamin Franklin. (endomorph men are few!

Mesomorph men are: Denzel Washington, Christopher Reeve, Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell.

Ectomorph men are: Joseph Fiennes, Hugh Laurie, Jerry Seinfeld,  and Spike Lee.

Examples of women are:

Endomorph: Beyonce Knowles,  Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears.

Mesomorphs: Liya Kebede, Brigitte Bardot,  Linda Evangelista, Suzanne Lucci, Kylie Minogue, and Aish. Rai.

Ectomorphs: Cameron Diaz, Robin Givens, Julia Roberts, and  Alek Wek.
