The Potential Health Benefits Of Farting
35 Answers
As a manager in a corporate organisation, I recently had the unfortunate task of reprimanding a member of my staff for repeated public flatulence. During the brief discussion, I admit I had quite a job to keep a straight face when she disclosed that her boyfriend, a doctor, had told her that farting helps reduce high blood pressure and is good for your health.
Putting the anti-social and negative connotations of farting to one side for the moment, does anyone actually know whether this suggestion has any medical foundation? Are we really depriving ourselves from natural health benefits if we suppress flatulence?

You aren't going to keep it forever anyway. But simple decency suggests avoiding doing it in front of others for them to breath in concentrated . Or indeed within earshot so that they know they are, if it comes to that. Health nonsense excuses I'd ignore.

No, I'm being absolutely serious. I was expecting some mild embarrassment or an assurance it wouldn't happen again, but the person in question was very open and upfront about it, and I questioned whether I was perhaps being a little old-fashioned to raise the matter with her. I will not be pursuing the matter further, but have been left with this intriguing information and wanted to see if there was any evidence to back it up!
