How to eat to fart more healthily?

Farting is a normal thing! But some people rarely fart , and don’t even notice it. Some people have a bloated stomach all the time , farting from morning to night, and they are the king of farts.

Some people say that people who fart less have blocked intestines, while others say that people who fart more have digestive problems. People's joys and sorrows are not the same, so which one is normal and which one is more dangerous?

What determines whether you fart a lot or a little?

You may have also noticed that after eating certain foods, you fart more often. Have you ever secretly counted how many more farts you produce after eating these foods?

Someone counted them for you (not really). In order to more accurately measure how many farts you pass, researchers conducted an experiment. In fact, the work of the people participating in this experiment is quite simple, mainly eating + farting

The fart was not actually released, but was directly collected in the bag. References [1]

The first group ate a high-bloating test meal: 250 grams of white beans, 1 banana and 200 ml of water

The second group ate a low-bloating test meal: 200 ml of orange juice and a warm sandwich

Finally, the researchers found that eating high-flatulence foods actually caused people to fart nearly twice as much!

Experimental data: Low-flatulence diets produce 34-439 ml of gas, while high-flatulence diets produce 43-780 ml of gas.

The white beans in this experiment played an indispensable role.

In fact, in life, in addition to white beans and other legumes, broccoli, sweet potatoes, cherries, pears, bread, whole grains and nuts , etc., will make you fart more easily.

If you don't eat these foods in order to avoid farting, you're really missing out! Because these foods will bring you many unexpected benefits!

Foods that cause you to fart, so I advise you to eat more of them!

After eating these common foods, you will feel fuller longer and your poop will be heavier. This is because they are all rich in dietary fiber!

Dietary fiber cannot be absorbed by the human body, but it is the favorite of intestinal flora! They will be broken down by bacteria in the intestines, producing hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane , and eventually become your farts (of course, some of them become poop).

Maybe you have heard that dietary fiber can help you poop , but its effect is more than just "laxative"! It also has these powerful functions that you may not expect:

Therefore, don’t refuse to eat foods rich in dietary fiber just to avoid farting!

If you don’t eat enough dietary fiber for a long time, your intestinal flora will become dizzy with hunger and unable to maintain normal function, and your body will also start to sound red lights!

It seems that people who fart a lot are actually very healthy! We should also eat more fruits and vegetables and grains to fart more! Faster! Stronger! Because farts are also silently protecting your health~

****However, you should not fart too much. Some people's illnesses will also be reflected in their farts. For example, if you have an upset stomach, your intestines will gurgle, and not only will you fart like Bbox, but you will also have diarrhea . Irritable bowel syndrome can also cause bloating and stomach pain. If you notice something wrong, go to the hospital in time!

After eating foods rich in dietary fiber, don’t forget to drink plenty of water!
