Farting Isn’t rude- It's medicine to ease BP!
The study points out the interconnection between the digestive system and the cardiovascular system.
Farting has been considered impolite in many cultures, as a study in John Hopkins University, One of the gases released during flatulence is hydrogen sulfide (H2S) a compound that produces small amounts of gut bacteria, resulting in the individual leaving farts. Studies reveal that fart stink controls blood pressure, blood vessels naturally make the gas and it helps lower the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels to prevent high blood pressure. No doubt the gas is produced in cells lining human blood vessels.
Hydrogen Sulfide is a natural gas that is formed in an individual’s body when bacteria in the gut digest foods. Hydrogen sulfide causes arteries to dilate, letting blood circulate more freely, reducing pressure on the artery walls. The study points out the interconnection between the digestive system and the cardiovascular system.
Farting helps trap gases that can cause discomfort; bloating and mild pains can also be experienced, don’t even think of holding in the gas, this can lead to higher blood pressure, letting it out promotes relaxation and decreases blood pressure. Make sure to have a healthy digestive system, otherwise it can lead to issues like inflammation. Next time someone makes fun of you when you fart, tell them you are reducing blood pressure and releasing your stress levels.
Not leaving gas may actually create undesirable side effects on the individual's circulatory systems. Sometimes in the weirdest ways our knowledge of the microbiome expands, our bodies use to maintain equilibrium, therefore no longer should anyone fear before passing gas
