Why are the chinese generally slim?Is it in their genes?Or is it due to their food or any other reason?

Question

We rarely find obesity in the chinese people.So I wonder what makes them slim & thin?

Answer 1

Diet my friend, simply diet and the way you live. In America you would find some Asians who have bigger body mass due to the indifference of food.

I'm an American of Chinese descent and average, not fat nor too skinny.

Genes depend on individuals not race, some people are born with higher or lower metabolisms.  The lower your metabolism is, the slower you burn fat, the higher the faster.

Answer 2

genetic.

Is chinese food really healthy? its oily.

Healthy food is japanese cuisine.

Answer 3

Genetic is one of the reasons, of course, food too.  

I was very thin when I was a kid, and after I became an adult, the heaviest weight I got was 115 lbs in a 5'3" height, I found it would be healthier to control the weights, now I keep myself in 100 lbs all the time.  

So, we actually can get fatter if we eat a lot of Big Mac.
