Farting is a very human thing.

Somewhere along the lines, someone decided that society needed to be ashamed of human bodily functions and other things that make humans human.

Anal acoustics, or flatulence, became one of those things. The photo you see below was actually listed as “adult content” on Pixabay.

Not only are our backdoor sneezes necessary but those fecal fumes can actually be a healthy affair. Thefartfacts.com, says that a good grundle rumble can be indicative of a properly functioning digestive system and positive levels of gut bacteria.

Heinie hiccups are apart of the digestion process. Gases are released when food breaks down in our bodies and is then released through our butts.

Some gas that ends up in your intestine can also come from eating, chewing gum, drinking through a straw, or smoking, according to Medical News Today. So, what is the average room clearer made of?

Thefartfacts.com says it’s 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, 4% oxygen, and 1% hydrogen sulfide which is what makes your rump roars stink.

It is believed that people squeak one out five and 14 times a day.

While women and men poot the same amount, a study where men and women ate the same type and quantity of food found that women’s power poofs were stinkier.

Humans fart most of our farts in our sleep.

Though letting one rip has become a source of embarrassment, there’s actually a lot of good reasons why it’s good for us.

Do you have a food allergy?

Those one cheek sneaks might be the key to your answer.

If you have lactose intolerance or Coeliac Disease then you’ll probably turn into a free jacuzzi not long after you’ve consumed either cheese or gluten.

Cracking a rat also helps to relieve bloating.

We get bloated when gas builds up in our gut which can make our clothes tight.

Methane mating calls can help to release that discomfort.

Trying to stop yourself from floating an air biscuit or trying to manipulate the way your gas is released can cause damage to your colon.

It may also lead to inflamed hemorrhoids.

So, if you need to fumigate then you should just fumigate.

That heavy downwind can also be a signal of whether or not your diet is balanced.

Red meats will make your toots smellier and carbs will make you toot more but those toots will have more of a neutral odor.

Holding those foggers in can lead to pain known as intestinal distension.

In this case, it’s best to roll out those funky rollers to relieve that discomfort.

Having some trouble letting them fly free?

Massage your tummy to assist the gas in moving through your digestive system.

Smelling your own “brand” is actually good for you.

The theory behind that one is because the hydrogen sulfide that is produced in your intestines can ward off mitochondrial damage to the cells.

This can aid in preventing strokes, heart disease, and arthritis.

You might want to see a doctor if this occurs to ensure that it doesn’t get worse.

And the number one reason why farting is good for us is…. because… it feels good.

Letting loose feels like freedom. You don’t need a better reason than that. So, let them rip and let your colon ring free!
