Why you should never hold back a fart

September 28,2021
Share:

To a little boy, there’s nothing funnier than the noises they can make with their body. While it isn’t humorous to most adults, kids chuckle when they fart or burp as they feel like they’ve done something taboo. Actually, farting is quite normal, and it’s a sign that you have a healthy colon.

Men usually pass gas way more than women because they’re not afraid to do it, and usually, they eat much quicker. Did you know that you’re taking in more air when you eat too fast than you should, which can build up in your system and cause gas? It sounds strange, but if you eat slower, you can better control the gas in your system.

Let her rip – Don’t’ hold back a fart!

If you are embarrassed by breaking wind, you should know that it’s unhealthy to hold it back. Did you know that holding in all that excess gas can be bad for your health? Here are some common reasons why you shouldn’t feel bad about breaking wind.

1. It feels good when you do not hold back a fart

Nothing feels better than to release the stomach pain and bloating that comes along with excessive gas. When you break wind, you release feel-good hormones in your system that are part of your rewards centre.

So doing something as simple as tooting can make you feel better. Not to mention you’re releasing internal pressure that brings instant relief.

2. May prevent heart disease

A shocking fact about how passing gas can help prevent heart disease and other severe conditions. When you smell the aroma from an unpleasant stinker, it helps repair things like mitochondrial cell damage. While the fumes of any gas can be toxic, a small amount can be beneficial.

3. It warns you of an underlying issue

Did you know that your flatulence can tell you a lot about your overall health? People with bowel conditions or lactose intolerance or celiac disease can often help doctors diagnose their bloating and farting.

Excessive gas shows that the body has problems digesting food, indicating a medical problem that needs to be addressed. Additionally, a study found that people with diabetes tend to have more gas, especially if they take medications to remove excess glucose from their system.

4. You gas tells you whether you’re eating right

Did you know that people who eat too many carbs and sugars tend to be gassier than people who eat a healthy diet? If you wonder if it’s true, then you should try to go a few days without eating any sugar and see what happens.

Additionally, those who overeat protein may have an issue with smelly gas. Your body will communicate with you when your digestive system is in trouble.

5. It helps stomach pain

How many times have you heard that you need to chew your food thoroughly before you swallow it? Science supports that the first step in the digestion process begins in your mouth. Your teeth crush and chew the food to break it down so that the intestines can do the rest.

Once it’s inside the intestines, bacteria take over to break down the remaining bits. Bacteria automatically produces gas to help in this process. The gas buildup causes pain and boating that is uncomfortable and sometimes unbearable. When you release this gas, you will feel relief.

This topic tends to be one that proper people don’t talk about, and many try to hide. Yet, your body has specific functions that are part of the normal processes it needs to thrive. You usually get a lot of gas when the stool inside the colon is full, and the body is ready to release it.

Did you know that if you hold your stools, it can cause plenty of health issues? There are just some things that you don’t talk about with others, but you still need to know the importance of why these functions occur. Both good and bad things happen when you break wind.

Your body is releasing excessive gas, which makes you feel better. However, your system could be trying to warn you of a severe underlying issue that needs to be addressed. People who flatulate a lot can be consuming too much sugar or protein or have a problem like diabetes, acerbating the issue.

At the end of the day, if those around you can live with your gas, then it’s probably not an issue. Consequently, if you’re continually breaking wind and you can’t seem to control it, then it’s worth mentioning to your doctor.

Also, farts that have pungent aromas can be indicative of a digestive issue. Since the gut and brain health connection is becoming more apparent, having a good digestive system is essential. Until science can fully explain, know that it is not good for your body to hold back a fart.
