Why do we Fart? And does it Always Smell?

If it makes you any comfortable then you should know that the horrible sin of farting is practiced by the queen of England and president of USA on regular basis.

Sorry for the harsh approach but to be honest farting is just like any other bodily function.

WHY DO WE FART?

Farts are the result of trapped air inside our body which can come from various sources:

•          Air we swallowed while chewing, eating yawning etc.
•          Gasses produced by bacteria present in our Gut.
•          Gas seeping into our intestines from our blood.

WHAT IS FART COMPOSED OF?

1. 59%  Nitrogen
2. 21% Hydrogen
3. 9% Carbon dioxide 
4. 7% Methane
5. 4% Oxygen
6. 1% Hydrogen Sulphide  (The killer)

Cow Fart

DANGEROUS!! YOUR FARTS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE

Because of Methane and hydrogen present in your fart, it makes it highly flammable. Its a cool and dangerous party trick to hold your lighter or match up your buttocks and fart to produce a big burst of flame.

GROSS!

Its hard to believe but you even fart after death. As gasses are trapped inside your body, they tend to release from both ends in the form of burps and farts.

Sleep farting

WARNING!

Even if you manage to hold back fart during the whole day it will eventually find its way out while sleeping, so you better relief yourself before going to bed to avoid embarrassment.

 

Sulphur fart

DOES FART ALWAYS SMELL?

The smell from farts comes from Sulphur present in it. More Sulphur-rich diet you consume = more horrible gasses. Sulphur-rich diet foods are beans, eggs, cheese, soda etc.

YOUR ESCAPE WINDOW

Remember the moment when you are in a social gathering and you couldn’t hold it any more and you finally let it go. Just remember fart travels at a speed of 10ft/s or 3.5m so you have about 7 to 8 seconds before the smell reaches someone’s nostrils, this is your window of escape. Make a random excuse and leave but remember to make it look natural.

Silence farting

 

THE ART OF SILENCE FARTING

Farts make a sound when they are ejected because of vibration of rectum. The intensity of sound depends upon the tightness of sphincter muscles and the pressure of ejection. So the more you have control over these elements the better you will become at it.

AMAZING FART FACTS:

•         An average person farts 14 times a day.
•         Men and women fart equally although the latter wouldn’t admit it.
•      A normal person produces 0.5 liters of farts a day.
•         Termites fart more than any other animal.
•          Holding farts is unsafe for health is still a debatable topic among doctors.
•        An Indian tribe named Yanomamani in South America considers fart as greeting gesture.
•  In china there is actually a job as a professional fart smeller.
• If a person were to fart for 6 years and 9 months continuously it would produce energy equivalent to an atomic bomb.
