Are people who fart frequently healthy?

The most embarrassing thing in life is to fart in public. In fact, farting is a barometer of human health. Generally speaking, a person should not fart more than ten times a day. If you fart a lot, it is mostly a sign of health problems. Frequent farting may be caused by indigestion, gastrointestinal diseases, or eating too much starch.

The common name for "intestinal gas" is the "fart" that we all cover our noses for. It is a kind of human waste gas that is discharged from the body through the anus. Healthy people fart varying numbers of times a day, with a normal person farting 5 to 10 times a day. The waste gases such as nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia produced by the decomposition of residual food by bacteria in the intestines are mainly excreted from the body through farting, which is good for the human body and is also a magic weapon for the human body to self-regulate. There is a saying in Hunan that goes "People who laugh at farts have no ambition", which can be regarded as a way to justify farting.

The amount of farts is related to people’s diet. Some people like to eat onions, ginger, raw garlic, potatoes, sweets, beans and pasta. Since these foods contain matrices that can produce a large amount of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and other gases, they often produce a lot of waste gas after eating and fart continuously. The amount of farts is also related to the strength of a person's digestive function. When you have indigestion, intestinal bacteria ferment quickly, easily producing gas and causing you to fart. The survey found that a person farts about 14 times a day. Every day, each person releases about 500 ml of waste gas.

Farts are the "gas of grains and cereals" and are the foul odors discharged by the human body through the digestive tract. They are a normal physiological phenomenon. Although farts smell bad, they are a normal physiological need and are good for human health. It is not good for a person's health if he does not fart all day long. People who never fart all year round are very likely to have gastrointestinal problems. Once you fart, it is best to let it out, but please pay attention to the driving route of our "yellow label vehicles" and stay away from people. This way, it is good for your health and will not be known to others.

Farts often have a slightly irritating odor, but if the smell is too strong and irritating, you should be careful about health problems. First of all, it may be gastrointestinal bleeding. Blood and food are mixed together and after being digested by the intestines, they will emit a fishy smell, accompanied by symptoms of black stools and bloody stools. Secondly, colon cancer may also cause smelly farts, because the cancerous intestines will appear eroded, peeling, and bleeding. At this time, not only will the farts have an irritating smell, but the excrement will also contain blood or pus-like substances.

What “farts” reflect what diseases?

Although farting in public is very ungentle, not farting for a long time does not mean that you are healthy. Because there is no way to fart, it is often caused by diseases such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, constipation, gas and water sounds, hyperactive bowel sounds, etc., and in severe cases it may be intestinal obstruction. In addition, if you have had abdominal surgery, there will be reflex inhibition of intestinal motility, gas and fluid accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract, and the same condition of not farting.

Diabetes: If diabetics take metformin frequently, it will cause bloating and frequent farts. On the other hand, long-term development of diabetes can lead to neurological complications, such as gastrointestinal dysfunction. Irregular gastrointestinal motility can cause bloating, which in turn leads to frequent farts.

If the farts are extremely smelly, it may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcerative colitis, bacillary dysentery, amoebic dysentery, hemorrhagic enteritis, etc. In addition, in the late stages of malignant tumors, due to the erosion of cancerous tissue and the corruption of protein, the farts will also smell very smelly under the action of bacteria.

No matter which part is excreted, such human metabolism will have adverse effects on health. For example, once the toxic substances in farts and feces are absorbed into the blood, it will not only increase the metabolic burden on the liver and kidneys, but in severe cases it will cause poisoning of the body's tissues.
