Nick Cannon’s Height Compared to the Average American

Nick Cannon’s height of 5 feet 10 ¾ inches also means that he is slightly taller than most Americans. Data from the National Centre for Health Statistics has it that the average American man is 5 feet 9 inches tall (1.75m) while the average American woman is 5 feet 3.5 inches tall (1.61m). Bringing it closer to Cannon’s own demographic, he is one inch taller than the average African-American man and six inches taller than the regular African-American woman.

Statistics have it that the average African-American man is 5 feet 9 inches tall while the average African-American woman is 5 feet 4 inches tall. Further Statistics also suggest that the height of American men, both Caucasians and non-Caucasians alike, has decreased from 5 feet 9.4 inches in 2005 to 5 feet 9 in 2016. This downward trend has been attributed to the growing number of Mexican-American men in the population whose average height is a bit shorter at 5 feet 6.5 inches.

How Much Does Nick Cannon Weigh?

Nick Cannon’s weight is listed at 79 kg or 173 lbs. The TV personality is one of those people that was born with good metabolism and has always maintained a lean weight but that does not mean that he hasn’t had to work hard for his ripped physique. That hard work was ironically inspired when he was diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune condition, Lupus, in 2012. Cannon underwent a year of meds and chemotherapy to get back on track. He was then informed that he had to live a healthy lifestyle from henceforth in order to avoid any painful flare-ups.

That healthy lifestyle sees the TV star eat a clean diet free of meat, processed foods, or sodium. He also does meditation and yoga thrice a day. Cannon is also big on physical exercises. At the crack of dawn each day, he embarks on a 90-minute exercise that involves smacking a tire with a 15-pound sledgehammer and dragging his 6,500 pound Hummer Jeep across the parking lot. There are also lots of martial arts, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and boxing involved. Cannon’s daily training routine also sees him breaking down and rebuilding a wall consisting of 100 30-pound cinder blocks. This accounts for his ripped and enviable physique but even more important than that, it enables the actor to live pain-free from his lupus condition.
