Farting is
usually considered to be the most shameful or humorous function of the body.
Everyone farts but have we ever taken a moment to think about the science and
history behind it?
.
1. Females
tend to fart less than males.
2. First
used in 1962, fart means the wind coming out of the anus. Pretty apt don’t you
think?
3. A normal
human being will fart over a dozen times every day.
4. And the
air they produce can be used to blow up one balloon.
5. Fart is
flammable
Yes, you can
light a fart on fire
Because
flatulence is partly composed of flammable gases like methane and hydrogen, it
can be briefly set on fire.
We don't
recommend it, because of the risk of injury, but if you have to see it.
6. Don’t
ever be embarrassed about a fart because it is actually an indication of good
health. If your digestive system is working as it should, you will fart. If you
feel like you haven’t been farting lately, it is best to get a medical opinion.
7. The main
component of a fart is hydrogen sulfide which helps decrease any damage to the
mitochondria. This means that taking in the smell is actually good for you.
8. While
women don’t fart as much as men, their farts tend to smell more because they
have greater levels of hydrogen sulfide. This makes the air they produce better
for your health as well.
9. Your
farts are much faster than you because they travel 10ft/sec.
10. The
tighter your sphincter, the more sound your farts will make because they can’t
get out easily.
11. If you
chew a lot of gum and drink aerated drinks, it will increase the frequency of
your farts.
12. Most of
our daily farts happen when we are asleep.
13. Termites
may be small in size but they fart more than any other creature. Camels come a
close second, followed by zebras and cattle.
Don’t be so
hard on yourself.
At least you
feel better if you do what nature intended.
After all,
it’s healthy for you.
Go ahead and
let it rip!
