15 Photos Of People From All Over The World Next To How Much Food They Eat Per Day - Dose - Your Daily Dose of Amazing
I posted this while looking for an old back-page article in National Geographic on the topic of different peoples calorie intake.
There is a ricksha driver in the article i linked, that eats over 2,000 calories a day. ( 2,400 )
However, the Nat Geo article i was looking for had a fellow that was also a ricksha driver, and he at much less than 2,000 calories a day, yet had the strength to pull along two normal size adults up hills and over several miles.
How is such a thing possible ? It's not just all gearing.
I have a " mountain bike " and struggle to get up some steep hills with just me on board and all the right gearing.
Where do these Ricksha drivers get their strength, and stamina, ( and why don't they have muscular legs ? )
Does the body adapt to extreme conditions like this ?
