Burping, hiccups, and farting are bodily functions which make people laugh, get embarrassed, and even annoyed. The crown jewel on these is farting.

How much do you know about farts besides the fact that they sound and smell funny, and come out from the bum. These are some things you should know about them:

  • Men fart more than women.
  • The original meaning of fart if forth as wind from the anus. This word was coined in 1962.
  • An average person farts around 14 times a day.
  • Those 14 farts a day are enough to fill up a balloon.
  • This is not something to be embarrassed about as it means that you are healthy. A healthy digestive tract produces farts. If you are not farting at all go to the doctor.
  • Farts are made up of hydrogen sulfide that reduces mitochondrial damage. Smelling farts can be healthy, thus next time you fart take a nice deep breath and thank the person.
  • Female farts tend to be stinkier as females have higher concentration of hydrogen sulfide. Female farts are healthier to smell.
  • Farts go as fast as 10 ft/sec.
  • If you have very tight sphincter you will produce louder farts as they have smaller tighter area to squeeze out from.
  • Gum and soda make you fart more, thus if you know somebody who farts a lot and they drink a lot of soda and chewing gum, hide it from them.
  • Most of the farting happens at night when we sleep.
  • Termites are animals which produce the most fart. Camels, zebras, sheep, cows, elephants, and dogs (especially labs and retrievers) follow next.

Does broccoli, beans, and over easy eggs cause fart too?

Women should start own business to charge anyone who want to smell their fart as part of health to reduce visit to Doctors?! Unbelievable. :lol:

I used to have Lab/shepherd mix, she farts like a nuclear bomb, I had to roll all windows down and yell "did you fart?" Her ears down big time. Good memories!
 
LOL,,,my doggie hides her face when she farts...We also had a Boxer (foster) doggie at 1 time...He farted all the time...Took him to the Vet He had to eat special dog food, not the store brand. He was fine after that.

I had a black lab who farted all the time after eating. Took her to the vet where they said she was eating too fast. Solution? Put a ball in her food to slow her down while eating. It worked!
