Hidden or not, people would fart. But although it is a matter of routine, there is a fact that has not been known to everyone. Researchers discover interesting things about bacteria in the intestinal gas production.
Fart is the result of bacteria that live in the gut, said Purna Kashyap from the Mayo Clinic who examined mikrobiom. People consume a lot of carbohydrates, but the body does not have the enzymes needed to process them. Finally carbohydrates reach the intestine, where microbes destroy and take energy through the process of fermentation. Arising from the process gas.
99% of the gas produced in the intestine is composed of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane. It all does not smell, and therefore most of the fart does not smell at all. 1% that smells caused by sulfur. Sulfur-containing foods include beans, onions, cauliflower, broccoli and milk products.
In addition due to bacteria, a gas formed from the inhaled air. This gas is odorless, consisting mostly of nitrogen and oxygen, but if the fart sound comes out the same. Air enters the body, especially when people sleep, but it also could increase if people consume beverages containing soda and chewing gum.
Modern society assess negative fart. Yet this is the work of bacteria in the gut ecosystem. In addition, people can also benefit. Scientists are still trying revealed all mikrobiom role in the digestive system. But it is well known, too, that the same bacteria that produce gas also forms of vitamins and fatty acids that keep the health of the intestinal lining, and immune support.
People familiar with the smell of their own farts. As well as the particular smell when entering someone else's home, but did not smell anything at home. Odor caused by bacteria in the gut differ slightly from one person to another. Therefore, we fart smell disturbing others, but did not bother us.
Because fart mostly contain gases that can burn, such as methane and hydrogen, fart ignitable. But you should not try, because it can be dangerous.
Sometimes, after a fart arrested for want polite, people feel a fart away by itself. But this is not possible. People stop notice, and therefore are not aware if the fart out slowly. In physics fart easily explained: fart is gas bubbles, should come out and there is only one way out.
For many people, fart does not need to be restricted. Similarly Kaskyap said. The amount of produced show good balance of bacteria and food consumed. If not impaired or feel ill, you should process was not disturbed. So people do not need to try to reduce bacteria in the gut.
