Fartting, a seemingly trivial physiological reaction, is actually a normal function of our digestive system. Just like any other trivial event in life, everyone experiences moments like these.
However, when this normal physiological phenomenon occurs in an inappropriate situation, such as in a public place, and suddenly wants to fart but cannot release it in time, embarrassment arises spontaneously. Sometimes, even if we try to restrain ourselves, our body is always difficult to follow our wishes, and we can't help but sigh at the helplessness of life.
The frequency of farting is closely related to gut health, which is the consensus of most people. However, there are also some people who believe that frequent farting is related to liver problems. So, is this claim true? In fact, to understand this problem, we need to go deep into the human physiological mechanism.
Fart is a natural physiological phenomenon that is a way of venting gases from the human intestines. The gas in the intestine is mainly produced by the bacteria in the intestine fermenting food residues, and when the gas in the intestine accumulates to a certain extent, it will be excreted from the body through **, forming the phenomenon of farting.
Why do you fart? This is because the gas in the intestines is constantly produced and needs to be excreted from the body in a certain way, otherwise the pressure in the intestines will continue to rise, leading to discomfort. In addition, farting also helps to expel waste and harmful gases from the body and maintain intestinal health.
The composition of the fart is complex and ingenious, and 99% of it is composed of various colorless and odorless gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane. The remaining 1% is converted into various volatile sulfur compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide. These sulfur compounds give farts their distinctive smell.
The frequency of farting 1-15 times a day is the norm, and there is no need to be embarrassed. Fart, this human nature, is like a small episode in life, releasing about 500 ml of gas for us every day to maintain the harmony of the body.
If the fluctuating exhaust sound is too frequent, beyond the range of 1-15 times, then it is necessary to be alert to the imbalance of intestinal flora. Once the microflora is out of tune, it can lead to frequent gas and even diarrhea.
Many people believe that an increase in the frequency of farting is inextricably linked to poor liver function. Indeed, as the main metabolic organ in the body, the role of the liver should not be underestimated.
Once there is a problem with liver function, many toxins in the body cannot be metabolized in time, and then continue to accumulate in the body. These toxins are eventually converted into gases such as ammonia, which makes the frequency of farting significantly more significant.
However, farting a lot doesn't necessarily mean a liver problem. In fact, the relationship between farting and the liver is not absolute.
Clinical data show that about 80% of patients with abnormal liver function will have symptoms of increased fart, but there are other factors that contribute to the increase in fart.
To ensure good health, we should not only focus on the number of farts we fart, but also observe other aspects of the body. If the frequency of farting increases and is accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention and receive professional ** in time to avoid missing the best ** opportunity.
First, the most common is jaundice. This is because the liver is unable to metabolize bilirubin properly, resulting in an increase in bilirubin levels in the blood, causing yellowing of the sclera and mucous membranes.
Secondly, pain in the liver area is also a common manifestation of a bad liver. This is usually due to an enlarged or inflammatory liver. Pain may occur in the right upper quadrant or mid-upper quadrant and sometimes radiate to the shoulder.
In addition, digestive symptoms are also a manifestation of liver problems. Such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and diarrhea, among others. This is because bile secreted by the liver aids digestion, while liver disease can lead to insufficient bile secretion or decreased quality.
There are some other symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, fever, and chills. These symptoms may be related to metabolic disorders and immune system abnormalities caused by liver disease.
Impaired digestive function
Fartting, a seemingly trivial problem, is actually a reflection of the health of our digestive system. When food can't be digested efficiently, it ferments in the intestines, brewing strings of gas. These gases will eventually turn into farts and become a way for our bodies to detoxify. Digestive function is impaired, just like the engine of the intestines is malfunctioning, food cannot be fully digested, and there are naturally more farts.
There are a variety of causes of impaired digestion, such as poor diet, intestinal infections, or gastrointestinal diseases. Just like a machine, if it is not used properly or is damaged, its function will naturally be affected.
Gas accumulation
The sound of a fart is often related to the accumulation of gas in the abdomen. The accumulation of gas in the intestines, like a balloon inflated, can erupt at any time. When the gas in the intestines is not expelled in time, it will become retained in the intestines, resulting in an increase in the frequency of farting.
Most of these gases originate from the breakdown of food in the intestines by bacteria, and if they are not excreted in time, the pressure in the intestines will rise, and the frequency of farting will also increase. When bowel movements slow down or bowel movements are not smooth, constipation and intestinal obstruction may occur.
Once these problems occur, the gas in the intestines cannot be excreted smoothly, and it further accumulates in the intestines, and the frequency of farting increases.
Constipation
Frequent farting is often inextricably linked to constipation. When intestinal peristalsis slows down and bowel movements are not smooth, the stool stays in the intestine for too long, and its water is overabsorbed, making the stool dry, hard, and difficult to pass. At this time, the gas in the intestines is also affected.
Because stool stays in the intestine for too long, bacteria can overmultiply and produce more gas. In addition, constipation may also upset the balance of the intestinal flora. When constipation occurs, the bacterial environment in the gut may change, with some bacteria overgrowing while others decreasing or disappearing. This unbalanced environment of the intestinal flora can also lead to excessive gas production, which increases the frequency of farting.
Eat and gobble
In the fast-paced modern life, the pressure of work and the burden of life go hand in hand, making many professionals always in a hurry and eating hastily.
They often swallow their food in large gulps before they can chew it carefully. This kind of eating habit not only makes the food not fully ground in the mouth, but also invisibly increases the digestive burden of the stomach and intestines.
When food is not chewed carefully, it goes directly to the stomach and intestines, which have to secrete more digestive enzymes in order to break down these foods. During digestion, food residues mix with digestive juices, producing a large amount of gas, resulting in a noticeable increase in the number of farts.
1.In terms of dietary modification, patients should avoid gas-prone foods such as sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes and choose foods that are easy to digest and absorb, such as millet porridge, yam porridge and soft noodles. At the same time, follow the principle of eating small meals often and avoid overeating to maintain gastrointestinal health.
2.When the temperature drops, patients need to add clothes in time to keep warm, and if necessary, warm water bags can be used to warm the abdomen, so as to relieve the symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort and frequent farting caused by cold entering the body.
3.For indigestion problems caused by poor spleen and stomach, patients can gently massage the palms around the navel every day to help promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. This method is simple and easy to do, and can be done in free time, and sticking to it for a long time will help improve spleen and stomach function.
4.If farting is accompanied by abdominal distension, hiccups and other symptoms, it is likely to be due to psychological factors caused by liver and stomach problems. At this point, the patient can try rubbing the flanks, i.e., the ribs in the front chest and both armpits, to relieve the discomfort.
5.Physical activity is essential for gastrointestinal health. Exercising a moderate amount of exercise every day can promote gastrointestinal motility and improve the efficiency of nutrient absorption, thereby reducing the symptoms of farting. Lack of exercise can easily lead to a decrease in the efficiency of digestion and absorption of the stomach and intestines, causing problems such as flatulence. Therefore, maintaining a regular physical activity routine will have a positive impact on gastrointestinal health.
Fartting, a seemingly trivial act, is actually closely related to our health. When you eat foods that are prone to gas, or when the amount of gas increases due to decreased intestinal function, farting becomes a natural means for the body to pass gas. However, some people choose to hold back in public because of their image, what kind of health risks are hidden behind this?
First, inhibiting fart for a long time can lead to bloating. When the gastrointestinal function is weakened and indigestion produces too much gas, if it is not discharged in time, these gases will accumulate in the intestines, causing the abdomen to feel bloated. If not released in time, it may cause persistent bloating and abdominal pain. So, when you have a fart intention, it is responsible for your own health to release it in time.
Secondly, holding farts can also allow the intestines to reabsorb harmful substances. Harmful substances such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen contained in these exhaust gases, if they accumulate too much in the intestines, may be reabsorbed by the intestinal mucosa, which can damage intestinal health. Fart is a way for the body to eliminate harmful substances, and long-term inhibition of farting, harmful substances accumulate in the body, which may increase the risk of intestinal diseases.
In addition, holding farts for a long time may also increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. For middle-aged and elderly people, certain health indicators are prone to fluctuations due to the decline of body functions and bad habits. Frequent inhibition of farting may lead to increased abdominal pressure, which in turn can affect changes in blood pressure. Unstable blood pressure is one of the causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. For the sake of our health and safety, it is especially important to fart in time.
To sum up, farting is not a simple physiological phenomenon, but a way to detoxify the body. So, when the fart strikes, we should let it go with the flow.
