you’ve ever shamed yourself or have been
shamed by someone else for passing wind, just
tell them you’re being healthy.
Farting isn’t the most glamorous way to
improve or assess our health, but it is
indicative of a healthy, well-functioning
digestive system and balanced level of gut
bacteria.
According to thefartfacts.com,
9% nitrogen
21% hydrogen
9% carbon dioxide
7% methane
4% oxygen
1% hydrogen sulfide (this is what makes it
smell)

Medical Daily suggests people flatulate
between five and 10 times a day, though
thefartfacts.com has that number at 14. Most
of our farts occur while we sleep. Foods that
are known to cause flatulence are high in
carbohydrates like including beans, artichokes,
dairy products, sweet potatoes, oats, nuts, soy,
and wheat.
You’d have to eat only refined sugars if you
wanted to stop farting, and that isn’t healthy
for anyone.
Despite what society tell us, women fart just as
much as men. In fact, thefartfacts.com says
women had more concentrated and odorous
farts in a study where men and women who ate
the same type and quantity of food.
Regardless of why or how many times we fart,
here are some reasons it is good for us.

Bloat Reduction

Bloating is caused by a build-up of gas in your
gut which farting releases. If your pants are
feeling a little tight, consider cracking a rat.

It Helps to Balance Your Diet

Passing wind can help you to determine
whether or not your diet is balanced since
your body will react to different foods in a
different manner. So, if you’re eating a lot of
red meat, your farts will stink more. If you eat
a lot of carbs, you’ll fart more but they’ll have
a more neutral odor.

Reduce Abdominal Pain

Holding your gas can cause abdominal pain,
also known as intestinal distension. So, letting
your gas go will help relieve this pain. If you
can let your farts fly, you can gently massage
your belly to help the gas flow through your
digestive system.

Colon Health

Holding in gas or trying to manipulate the way
it is released can harm your colon and inflame
your hemorrhoids. Those who have problems
with their colon are told not to keep their
farts in. So, it’s best to just pass gas naturally
when you need to.

Smelling Your Farts is Healthy

Though no one will admit it, everyone likes the
smell of their own farts. Other people’s… not
so much.
Maybe this is because we instinctually know
that it’s good for us. This is because the
hydrogen sulfide produced in our intestines
during digestion may prevent mitochondrial
damage to our cells. This prevents strokes,
heart disease, and arthritis.

Determine Food Allergies

Flatulence can determine whether or not we
have certain food allergies like lactose
intolerance and Coeliac Disease. This is because
you will pass a lot of extra gas after consuming
them.
If this occurs and you suspect you might have
an allergy, you should see your doctor.

It’s Pleasurable

Farting feels fantastic. If that’s not a good
enough reason to pass wind… I don’t know
what is. Besides, trying to hold it in can make
us cranky and no one needs another reason to
be cranky.
If you’re still ashamed of how much gas you
pass, you can try the following:
make sure you don’t have any conditions that
require medical attention
eat slowly
avoid carbonated drinks and artificial
sweeteners
get more exercise
Otherwise, just get more comfortable with
being a human being. After all, having a
healthy digestive system is something to be
thankful for.
