Okay, so it\u2019s not the most glamorous health tip, and some people might find it a little embarrassing to talk about\u2026 But farting is a normal result of a healthy digestive system and good indicator of our well-being.<\/p>\n
On average, we fart about five to 10 times a day, according to Medical Daily.<\/p>\n
Certain foods make us fart more, especially complex carbohydrates such as beans, sweet potatoes, oats and wheat, and foods that are packed full of nutritional value can often lead to a stronger odor.<\/p>\n
Whether you fart five or 50 times a day, here are eight reasons why you should let it out and pay attention.<\/p>\n
1. It reduces bloating.
\nThe most common cause of bloating is a buildup of gas in your gut. That\u2019s right: The full, tight discomfort that makes your pants a little tighter might just be because you need to fart. So don\u2019t hold it in.<\/p>\n
2. It\u2019ll help you balance your diet.
\nEveryone has a unique gut and we all handle foods differently. If you are experimenting with nutrition and diet, farts are a good indicator of balance or imbalance, according to Huffington Post. Too much red meat, for example, usually results in a strong, unpleasant odor, while complex carbohydrates tend to cause larger amounts of gas with a more neutral odor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
